Can't seem to reach www.spielbyweb.com this morning, anyone else having this problem?

me too

Looks like it must be down. I can't get in either.

So I guess it's "wait and see". I certainly hope my war isn't lost...it was costly.

down for me also... itching to get in there and build some pyramids!!!

It's back now



woohoo!


Now someone go and wake up all the Americans. It's back, but none of them made their moves before they went to bed.




N.

Not where I live

It's been down for me all today

For me it was down tuesday night, and then came back wednesday. Then it went down again on Wednesday night and it is still down.

Looks they have a lots of ups, and especially downs, lately.

This might shed some light on it:

(WHOIS snipped)

Now yesterday it was down for hours and it was like this but then it came back (although I don't know what the whois looked like when it was back). Now its locked again.

Who forgot to pay the bill?

EDIT: Status Locked doesn't mean what I thought it meant.

I thought locked just meant the domain is locked to the current registrar and can't be transferred. A reasonable choice to prevent cyber-squatters from transferring the domain name a few seconds after expiration.

Speaking of which - you asked who forgot to pay the bill. Bill isn't due for another year and a half (May 2009).

Correct, locked simply means someone can't hijack your domain name by transfering it to another registrar.

Sometimes SBW's nameserver gets wedged and simply needs to be restarted. Sometimes it's the whole server.

It's down for me too, I hadn't had an email since yesterday so I thought I would check to see if I had missed any.

I'm not getting a connection right now . . .

Still down on Friday morning,

Our friend Tim cannot cope with the withdrawal symptoms and lost his Mojo!

Is this the only type of Withdrawal suffered by Tim?

I seem to have lost my whole way of life!

Has anyone sent a message to any of the admins? I would, but I don't want to inundate them with a tidal wave of messages.

Mauve has obviously tried to finally do a Hacienda move.

I broke it. I was able to take 4 moves in a Hacienda game. Didn't realize until I finished my turn. I asked what was going on in the forums, but the site was down before I saw any replies.

I am trying to get in touch with Mikael to see if I can get this sorted. I haven't been able to catch him online in the last 24 hours though. I have messages into him.

I am not quite sure what I should be doing at work now w/o spielbyweb...it is pretty much the only thing that gets me through the day.

Sorry!

For some reason the firewall decided to reset itself and block access to the nameserver. So the site was up and running, but www.spielbyweb.com wasn't being translated into 69.65.96.117, blocking access.

Back up and running now -- hopefully it'll stay that way.

Don't worry about inundating me with messages -- send an email if you can't get at it. I didn't notice it until getting Ryan's message a few minutes ago (I've been hiding from IM for the last couple days trying to be productive).

(and yes, the "locked" status just protects against someone from hijacking the domain name -- I'm at the very least good about keeping the bills paid)

Interesting...it's still not working, even if I directly use the IP adress.
But I can ping 69.65.96.117
