Gamesurge Died. Lol

Supernorn · May 2005

Cant connect to Gamesurge anymore. Its been really really crappy for like a week now. Someone must be DDOSing the hell out of it. I highly recommend moving the channels to another server for a few days or something.

Supernorn · May 2005

Oh wait now its working again. I hate this server.

coris · May 2005

Use quakenet like us euros.

don't you lump that Brit in with us Americans. HE'S YOUR KIND

Depot · May 2005

GG on the panic attack guys. The NS community isn't going down the tubes because Gamesurge is temporarily down. If you have a problem or suggestion for the Devs, simply post it on these fora, or even use it's pm/email system.

Btw, it often helps to try a different Gamesurge server, so hit <a href='http://gamesurge.net/servers/' target='_blank'>this clicky</a> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

<b>Netsplits Continued</b>... - 05/27/2005 - Posted by andrew
Again, our sincere apologies for the continuing netsplits. We are again under attack by people who are trying their level best to extort whatever they can out of the network. We are working hard to try to bring this to an immediate end. Thank you for your continued patience.

<b>Netsplits a Plenty</b> - 05/25/2005 - Posted by Cradly
We apologize for today's frequent netsplits. All of GameSurge's servers have been the target of an ongoing coordinated DDoS attack. We appreciate your patience as we work on filtering the attack and stabilizing the network.

<b>Sprint (Florida) Blocked </b>- 05/11/2005 - Posted by GameSurge

Due to problems with a recurring trouble maker and no response from Sprint's abuse department, so far, which we have attempted to contact for the past three weeks, we have been forced to block this range from our our network. The only way to get this unblocked is to contact sprint customer service and ask them to deal with our abuse filing against the user concerned.

We regret this action has been necessary and look forward to getting it resolved as soon as possible.

<b>Update (5/13): </b>Sprint unbanned. I'd like to stress that after making our initial contact with Sprint that they have been responsive to us. They are being proactive and responsive to the complaint in the past day and received several customer complaints by those affected by the ban. We appreciate their assistance in this matter.

<b>Update (5/19): </b>Sprint has resolved the issue, due to repeated user non-compliance. Thanks!

It doesn't seem to be going down much at all today, so either the attacks stopped until sometime tonight (likely) or they stopped altogether (unlikely)

Olmy · May 2005

It is still netsplitting.

urinalcake · May 2005

I'm on right now, 12:32 PM EST, workin fine for a good amount of people, but eh.
I've discovered how much it sucks not to have IRC.

Try using the server 66.90.118.179 if you can't connect to gamesurge. It's the only gamesurge server I'm able to connect to. It was apparently created "Sat May 28 2005 at 11:44:37 CDT", which would explain why it's not listed in gamesurge's server list and why its domain name (Magnet.IL.US.GameSurge.net) doesn't resolve.

(If it doesn't work, blame grepdashv, as he found it.)

I read the thread and every single post. Most of those panicking are suffering from IRC withdrawl as opposed to a great need to idle on #naturalselection.

?

No one's panicking here... someone suggested a different server, someone jokingly said not to include the Brit with the Americans.. no one said anything about NS going "down the tubes"...

To make such a radical suggestion though, infers it. Just .... be ... patient. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

Hardly.

I guess you just define "panicking" differently than I do.

Think about the trouble it would be to change servers, and all the resulting problems that would follow. Better yet, think about having to use Quakenet. It's simply not an option at this point. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' />

Emanon · May 2005

Depot, everything is the end of NS.

When will you learn this.

Depot · May 2005

Hehehehe, true dat Emanon. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' />

typical_skeleton · May 2005

Well, the trouble it takes doesn't matter.

Suggesting a change in venue hardly implies anyone thinks something is "going down the tubes", in fact change can be good and even help the popularity of something.

Once again, I don't view it as "panicking" and even less so as an indication that anyone thinks NS is "going down the tubes".

Depot · May 2005

GameSurge will be back, I promise. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

loofbote · May 2005

Back to the same old unreliable server, eh depot?

A server change would not be hard at all, you would just need to put the new network in the old channels topic. Finding an appropriate server is the hard part.

*edited for clarity*

Supernorn · May 2005

Actually I'm banned from the #NS channel and I have no desire to go back there. I just thought it would be a wise move to get the hell away from gamesurge temporarily until it has finished exploding.

PANIC ATTACK!!!

Depot · May 2005

And by the time they change servers GameSurge will bounce back, and all was done in vain.

withdrawal from not idling in #naturalselection? you mean <b>elation</b>, right?

Supernorn · May 2005

Yup thats a bad case of elation going on there Depot.

You don't use IRC or gamesurge, do you? If you did, you would obviously know that GameSurge has been unstable like this for years, when it was still GamesNET.
