Forum & Site Downtime

[Elly]

On Monday morning we had to take our website server offline and unfortunately this also deals with our DNS so it prevented rpgforums and rpgtraders from working too. They were reacable by using the IP address but how many people would know that? None The DNS part of the server is back up now, hence you reading this but worldofwar.net isn't back online just yet but Rush is working on that now and it should be within a few hours.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks for the update Elly.

I was just signing up for a community outreach program to help me deal with the cold-turkey cutoff of my (multiple-times-per-day) WoW fix. At least now my hand will stop shaking.

Phew.

Now I can get back to absorbing information like a sponge. (A moldy sponge, but a sponge nonetheless.)

Well it seems to be going faster now. (Much faster... maybe thats because traffic is still somewhat low.) But no biggie.

[Etra]

I wish the forum was always this fast. :x

It's nice to know what happened to the site. Besides my assumption of it going BOOM.

it felt strange playing wow without the feeling that 100's of people were watching me.

[Father Jack]

Thankfully the withdrawl symptoms are fading now...

[Xlorep DarkHelm]

Nice to know it's all being worked on.

Same here.. I was just about giving up hope and blaming my ISP :lol: It struck me how much of my online time I use in here actually.. alot! :surprise:

[antarius]

Good to have you back :)

I was starting to suspect a huge explosion in close proximity of the server :D

Glad that's not the case :)

Now I finally can get my daily WoW-fix again... God, I missed it!

[Pietoro]

Its only after losing these forums for a few days that I noticed just how hard a decent WoW forum is to find. x_x

[The Flamestrike]

You're right. I was so bored whilst Worldofwar.net was down. I even restored my system just to see if that'd would work.

Glad to be back. :thumbsup:

Seems like only some of the pages works now. I get some stupid message like "look at this, they're raping a young girl, I had to stop this" bla, bla bla. :s

What, so some hacker knocked down the entire site in order to broadcast pr0n while announcing how horrible it was? Isn't that just as bad as spamming it to people any other way?

Honestly.

[Killing Frenzy]

It wouldn't even come up as porn for me. Just one of those 'can't find server' pages or something. Thought it was my internet for sure.

But now its back up! :surprise:

I had to drink four times as much beer everyday when the site was down.

I would rather not be mentioned that such horrible stuff happens. the child-pr0n that is. :(

But you got a point...

Oh wow, you weren't kidding. Lol. I thought you were.

Haha.

What the hell is up with that then? If you're going to go to all that trouble of getting your webpage up there, why post such a silly and gibberish-y message?

Some people just need a nice padded room.

I agree. The important thing is the site is back up! :clap:

I definitely missed this place too. Glad to be "home" again, after wandering aimlessly through the fansite wasteland for eons.
