Unscheduled downtime on Tues Aug. 18

[GameWinners.com]

As most of you noticed, the forums and main site were unreachable for most of Tues. August 18th. The problem wasn't with the servers themselves, but a router upstream from them, at our hosting company. Until the problem was resolved, all traffic to the forums and main site was stopped at that point. Everything looks like it's back to normal now, and hopefully the problem was fixed permanently. Thanks.

SAME HERE! I thought I had the W32.Blaster.Worm/W32.LoveSANS.Worm. But I got the patch and the Blaster scan. So I knew it wasn't that.

Please shorten your signature, it's not supposed to exceed 10 normal sized lines or 13 small sized lines.

And for the record, it was Tuesday when Al posted this thread, so, yeah.

odd. i didnt really have trouble.

So, everyone who thought it was their modem or a virus decided not to try gettin on any other site besides GW?

[Kaiser]

actually for awhile i was unable to get into another forum site for awhile as well as gamewinners so i just played
runescape all day and actually got 4 lv. up:D

[FDL]

I figured right away it was GW. I went to another site after like 2 minutes. Plus, other people were all having the problem, so I figured it was the purging.

[deat]

i thought that it was because my computer was messing up, it does a lot

[Insane man]

I thoguht it was my computer because i was posting and the around 11:30 my time it wasn't working so then i tried like three more times and i was like what is up with this and then i restarted my computer three times and finally wasa ablr to get back on

How's that?

[The-Joker]

When the forum was down, he said he wasn't having any problems.

Dunno why or how that happened

[deat]

he probably just didnt mean it because all of gamewinners forums had down time so he couldnt have gone on without problems...
