Its all gone wrong!!!

Dec 04, 2003 19:35 Its all gone wrong!!!
About 3 hours ago I lost my connection to irc.winbolo.us and irc2.winbolo.us, this has happened before and within minutes it's been rectified however this is, like I said 3 hrs later and I still can't get on. I'm recieving a msg saying "unable to connect to server (connection attempt timed out)"

Then this problem seems to have carried over to Internet Explorer cause I can't access a whole load of WinBolo sites, .net, .us or even sheeps command page. So this also puts me out of getting into mIRC through the JAVA chat system provided on .us

Was just wondering if there was any specific reason for this that you knew of, sorry I know its not exactly a .net problem but any ideas would be good.

Cheers

Im getting the same error while connecting to irc.winbolo.us, irc2.winbolo.us.
Also, couldnt connect to winbolo.net for a while.
Im hoping its just a simple problem and will be taken care of soon.

Moved to Technical Help.

It's not just you, same thing happen to me. winbolo.us and wbn were down for me also. Nice to see that wbn came back up.

I could add a paranoid little bit about all the winbolo sites going down, like maybe its just Dubya who decided we are a threat to national security. I do find it interesting right when Kax decides to take a break all this happens, I'm not saying anything, but make up your own minds.

As a backup to the backup, I moved sheepbot over to #wb on network.mystical.net, since it is the bolo irc network and most of the old vets are familiar with it.

for the first time in winbolo.us's crashing history no single person from that server has asked me if i haxed/attacked it......Maybe this is a sign of intelligence from the dark side?

Was it just me, or was irc.winbolo.us being touted as much more reliable than irc.winbolo.com? And now that LRL brought everyone on his server, wow, it's stability sucks. I think its part of a conspiracy.

What's really happened here is that Michael "the moron" Moore has declared war on winbolo. He's releasing a new new movie in the spring about it. It's titled "Right to Life: the LGM story".
