Serious Technical Issues

[Losethem (imported)]

At least I have an answer to give people now as to how to get back here.

For some odd reason some people in the broader community think I'm a moderator here. I corrected them that I'm not, but at least now I can post an answer.

Thanks for the update everyone! It's good to see many can already access through the domain itself. Accessing through IP 184.80.18.34 works fine here on my broadband here in the UK, although it won't yet resolve the DNS. (Oddly for about two hours on Sunday it thought it could!) Oh mystical clouds of DNS! Propagate... Protego ... damn! ... How does the rest go? ... Lol

Thanks Cainanite, glad to hear Tor is working out - it is a neat little toy for getting those hard-to-reach-places on the web. My government would probably kill me for telling you that you only need to pick a UK node and you will be able to access all of BBC services Lol No, wait! My TV licence pays for that. Forget I said anything!

Thank you to all the admins for your tireless efforts! I are much appreciate

I couldn't get online the usual way... so I used the http://184.80.18.34/ address and that works.

I must respond that to a man with no hammer, nothing looks like a nail. I have often seen people (generally coworkers) fail to recognize problems they don't know how to solve.

What about Chat?

The link worked yesterday but, not today.

Can't even get to login page.

Serious case of EA Board Withdrawl

& chat to for my regular booting.

This is the best board out there, and I hope it recovers to full participation soon.

Well I didn't think you were a mod here, but as far as people I know on MBM you were the only one that came to mind Thanks for posting btw letting us know where to go.

Though I'm able to get on the EA message boards. The Fiction Archive still seems to be down. Or has anyone found a way into there, that I am unaware of?

Neither using Tor, nor using the numeric web address seems to work.

Ideas?

I'm glad to assist. I was just happy I was able to get to the chat via my IRC client and ask someone, and the answer for the numerical URL was given. Being a moderator of a fellow modification site, I decided to show some unity (rather than competition) and let people know how to get back here by prominently displaying the numerical URL on our homepage.

Once EA is back up and running, I'll remove that URL from our page, but for now, I stand in solidarity with the EA.

I'm guessing some sort of busy body housewife is what ultimately caused this. The "ZOMG! There is a subject on the interwebs I don't like. I must censor it by getting the people who point the address to web browsers to shut it down. Look at me, I'm all powerful hausfrau! ZOMG! Think of the POOR LITTLE CHILDREN!"

Last I checked, we kick the poor little children out of here.

*ugh*

The story archive has been temporarily pulled./ That is the source of our dns troubles. LT you're likely correct about the hausfrau.
