Title: I Can't Find Gamesurge!
Post by: A Boojum Snark on July 11, 2004, 12:00:41 PM

Well, last night as I was chatting away in #lunixmonster the darn power company did another one of there sloppy grid switchings and the power was out just long enough to kill my comp. After I get booted back up and all I try connecting to gamesurge in mIRC, to no avail. I try in trillian, still nothing. I ask Path over AIM to try for me, and he reports success. I just give up and read forums for a couple hours then sleep.

So I wake up this morning and start fiddling around with it more. I have rebooted my computer, router, and modem, none of which solved the problem. I cannot connect to irc.gamesurge.net in mIRC or trillian. I also cannot get to www.gamesurge.net in IE or FireFox.

EVERYTHING else works on the internet, other IRC servers, all websites, IM programs. I simply cannot get to gamesurge, everything times out when trying to resolve the server :(

err *pokes abs* thats the same thing that happened to me that one day when i imed you going " omg gamesurge ! " for some reason youre tryin to connect to a dead gamesurge server ... something like that... it should return to work once they fix the server youre trying to connect to ... or try connecting to a diff gamesurge server somehow ...

Well, that day was riddled with netsplits due to a DoS attack on their network. This wasn't happening last night, not to mention, it has been twelve hours since this started, I would think they would have it fixed by now if that was the case. The timing with my short power outage is curious too.

thank BM, he told me

He is getting no praise and I will not let this injustice go unnoticed.
