has the forums been down lately

Spit_swallower · 3 Weeks Ago

or have I been banned for some unknown reason ? cause I have been trying to access the site but could not get in , if I was banned what was the reason ?

Hard core Rikki · 3 Weeks Ago

Not banned, not down. This seldomly happens these last few days, and does not last long. This should happen less frequently in the soon future, after it's looked into.

For me at least it was the whole yesterday. Same applies to the VBA-M domain.

it has been up and down the past few days,.. im sure its just the bugs getting worked out.

**Bobbi** · 3 Weeks Ago

The servers have seen no downtime as of late ... I've checked the traffic stats as well and there are no points, where traffic dropped all of a sudden - this most likely means, that one of the routers keeping the internet working is having issues.

If you can't reach the site, please open a dos box (start -> run -> "cmd") and run the command "tracert ngemu.com". Please post the output you see here so we can look into this.

Thanks!

I will try that next time and post the results.
Mmh... the server is now on the move, but the baddest thing of all is, that all attachments will be lost, because NGEmu is holding a lot great attachments.

**Bobbi** · 3 Weeks Ago

All Attachments lost? Nah,just all attachments posted in the last 8 hours will be lost, as we had to take a snapshot at some point

Whoa, so I totally misread the announcement. So sorry for that.

MasterPhW · 2 Weeks Ago

Sorry for doubleposting, but the forum was down for me the whole weekend.
Was it just me? Because there were over 180 new posts, so it seems, that some guys could check the board.

Hard core Rikki · 2 Weeks Ago

This is just occasional tweaking taking place (after the move), I believe.

If anyone has issues accessing the place, just try the following command suggested by Bobbi and share.

tracert ngemu.com (in Windows, start -> run -> "cmd")

**refraction** · 2 Weeks Ago

i believe some people are still pointing to the old server, so they are posting there and wondering why there isnt many people on lol

i had to tell bositman to put in the new ip address for the forums as he was posting and closing threads on the old server ;p

Ahh, totally forget about that... but the forum was offline for me, so I couldn't check the command. But saved that for upcoming problems!

**Bobbi** · 2 Weeks Ago

I'll add a redirect on the old server to make sure people stop posting there ... no clue how they still get there, the nameservers have LONG since been updated.

And yes, I was tweaking the new server this weekend, so we experienced some hours of downtime - sorry for that, but speed in general should be better now (8 cores, this world is crazy ...).

**refraction** · 2 Weeks Ago

lazy ISP's not updating their DNS servers, thats how its happening

Noja87 · 2 Weeks Ago

Notice the site is extremely slow lately. Is it just my connection or it really is the site?

Jumping from threads to threads is taking 10 minutes here =\

Squall-Leonhart · 2 Weeks Ago
