Forum & Website Connection Issues

Post by **Haplo** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 7:59 pm

We are experiencing some difficulty where large amounts of members cannot access Tamriel Rebuilt's website or forum, while others can. The number of members who cannot access TR seems to be a little over half, so if you are waiting on something, or someone seems to be gone, or the forums dead, this is the case. The issue is that the largest data center in Europe (who happens to be hosting us at the moment) was hit by a Denial of Service attack, so they blackholed a large number of IP address. We are hoping to get it fixed as soon as possible.

In the meantime, we strongly urge everyone to join us on IRC, on the ChatSpike server in channel #tamriel.

Thanks,

Management.

Yeah, I still can't get on Chatspike. Is there another program that I can use other than mIRC?

HydraIRC, IceChat, Miranda IM, OrnateIRC, X-Chat

The traffic has been unblocked, and everyone should now have access now.

I renewed the lease on my server for another 6 months.

Sorry for the downtime, I was away during the attack, and was unable to get things fixed until last night, and its taken a little longer than I hoped, but its all sorted now.

Thanks for fixing it, garf. Good Job.

It was getting boring not being able to lurk the forums for several days.
