Was there an NES server outage?

[Reptile]

I just got on. No posts for most of Saturday.

Glad it was fixed!!!

I spent my night at M4Carbine.net.

[MACGYVR]

Looks like it was dead for 24 hours. Started to think it was me...

 

[Cross-X]

Going into NES withdrawal here. There is no cure...

Not as much "catching up" to do - . I was "out" most of the day - went to a movie and a model train show - the day was beautiful!!

Ok, how many times per hour did people hit the Refresh button?

I just found the M4Carbine site surfing the web. I was so bored because NES was down, I even spoke to the little lady about guns!

I hate it when that happens... We need a back-up forum.

Not that I had much time, seein' as how I was out with the snow blower diggin' out both houses.

We've got more than a foot of snow out here.

I actually looked up the NES facebook to see what ws going on....

 

[doobie]

ahahhhhhh relief.... I feel much better now.

 

[scouter-rick]

I thought it was me! Rebooted the computer, tried again... went to facebook to see who was there to find out if NES was down. Scariest thing I can remember in months.

<grin>

Per HOUR? Don't you mean per MINUTE?

 

[hicksonj]

I was worried my IP range was blocked

 

[richc]

Masscops.com was down as well last night. I was wondering if the use the same hosting company? I was also starting to wonder if the had been blocked or shutdown.

The Devaluator declared a State of Emergency. Shutting down NES for a day was part of his Emergency Action Plan.

Indeed! I tried a couple of browsers, making sure it wasn't me. Finally called Derek mid-afternoon . . . he was trying to raise the folks that host the servers.

Indeed, glad it's back up, the withdrawal was severe.

Agreed. We should register nesisdown.com and put up some simple forum software just so we can all commiserate together

Without NES up last night, I was reduced to reading the gun laws for Guam... again.

You should just play the zombie apocalypse simulator. That's what I did!

I assumed the server was based in India, and that undersea cable being cut was the reason for the outage..

Glad NES is back!

 

[Fixxah]

I got an email from someone on Cast Boolits.com and they were asking WTF? I told him it is definately down and was waiting for the news that Derek was seen in handcuffs and his gear was being inventoried by THE MAN.......LOL

I think this was a sign from the Great Leader. We are not worthy. The Great Leader is showing he is not pleased and removing that which gives us pleasure. Social isolation is the first step. We must be more loyal or further discipline will be forthcoming.

And Great Leader stood on the mountaintop and addressed his flock. And thus he said unto them, "The greatest commandment, above which all else must flow, is to buy more guns!"

 

[Mike-Mike]

I was really missing you guys

 

[richc]

Yes, Jdubois, more guns will make the Great Leader pleased. Must go now. Must make Great Leader happy. Please, no more outages, Great Leader. We will be loyal followers.

 

[K-DUB]

Glad everything is back to normal!

Thats one way to keep me on task, I was pretty productive yesterday.

I figured that I had won the Shirley Gun Lottery and the Apocalypse has occurred as a result
preventing me from enjoying the only thing I have ever won.
