[tbontob]

Yep, it is.

[Andrés]

PBW!!
I want PBW!
I need PBW!

[General Woundwort]

Still down as of 8:15 EST (and I have a lot of games to catch up on...) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

[Thermodyne]

Geo must be down, I cant even get the server by IP

[Thermodyne]

The IP addy is dead as a door nail. No responce to any probes.

[geoschmo]

ISP problems. I couldn't even get to the net there for a while myself. Should be ok now.

I turned off the automatic turn processing so you all can get your turns in. Hopefully noone missed their turn before I noticed tehre was a problem. If you did talk to your game owner about getting the turn reset.

[General Woundwort]

It's up! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[tesco samoa]

memo to geo.

Tescosamoa takes his Orange Juice and Ceral with PBW in the morning before his day at work.

[geoschmo]

Just doing some maint. Be back in a moment.

11:00 Est died when uploading turn http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I Killed it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

[Roanon]

Dead again?

[Phoenix-D]

Its on life support for me- very slow- but not dead.

EDIT: Ok, never mind.. "Internal Server Error".

[Roanon]

Look for the small button named "reset" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[geoschmo]

It's been running real slow all weekend. I have taken it down now and am checking something out.

[Grandpa Kim]

Geo, I got my KOTH turn in just under the wire. If possible, could you undo that turn for me and I'll re-upload later, just to be safe.

The game is KOTH Phoenix-D vs. Grandpakim

Thanks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The file size is 10.2 KB if that will help identifying a corrupt file.

[geoschmo]

Grandpa, it doesn't look like the turn upoloaded. The Last thing I see for that game was the turn running 45 minutes ago.

The site is back up. Let me know if any of you are still having problems. I think it's running faster now.

[mottlee]

All Hail GEO for all his PBW work!!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Loser]

Nah, don't tell him he's all that or anything. He doesn't need that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Just donate to PBW. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Speaking of which... ehem... ah, concerning the title of this thread... eh... feel free to tell me the problem is on my end, but... umm... well, is it down?

[Cyrien]

It is down for me as well.

[deccan]

Looks down from my end. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

[Thermodyne]

Yep, it went 404 while I was working a turn.

[Thermodyne]

Looks like the server is down or it's address changed. The IP address in my Cache server is not ping-able.

[AJC]

definately down...ugh

[geoschmo]

Hey, it should be back now.

[cybersol]

I confirm that PBW is down. I hope automatic turns are off, because I have been trying to upload turns for an hour that are due any second now.

Thanks,
Cybersol

[Cyrien]

back up for me

[Slynky]

Working for me.

[cybersol]

Back up for me too... Service faster than I can type.

Thanks Geo!!!
Cybersol

[Loser]

Whoo-hoo!

Now if Gravey, matthijs1111, and Lord Chane would do their turns....

Actually, it's probably better that they don't. It's near-on to sleep time.

PBW slow?
Having some real trouble getting the pages.

[Cyrien]

Yep. It is super slow here as well. Can't get the PBW forums to load at all.

[Slynky]

Also, haven't seen Geo in the forum at all today...very unusual http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif .

[Alpha Kodiak]

I'm not having any problems with PBW. With Swen.A ravaging the net, it may be that your path to PBW is being overloaded. I've been having periodic slow downs to various sites for the Last week or more.

[geoschmo]

I'm ok. Just been real busy today. Is the site still running slow for you guys?

[Slynky]

Originally posted by geoschmo:

Maybe it was one of our HUGE combats slowing the server down computing all the damage I did to your fleets, Geo... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif .

[geoschmo]

Just to let everyone know, and I will be repeating it again over the next few days, I am moving. Only a few miles, and my DSL connection is going to the new place, but PBW will be down for a couple days for the move sometime between the 17th and the end of the month.

[Slynky]

Just checked PBW for the heck of it, and sure enough, a turn was ready (yours, Geo). Just to let you know, there's been a bit of sporadic mailing problems lately...I know some problems exist from time to time but in the Last few days, I've not gotten some and gotten others (and then hours later, gotten the ones that didn't come when they should have). Usually, my mail delivery is very reliable.

[Slynky]

Anyone else having problems getting to PBW?

[Roanon]

Also having problems to load the SEIV page. Thought it was down, but it just displayed, I had it in the other window. Veeeerrrryyyy slow loading. About 10 mins for the whole page.

[Slynky]

Looks like it's hit and miss. Tried several times, then after posting this message, finally got through. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

[geoschmo]

Ok, is it running better now?

[Slynky]

Originally posted by geoschmo:

[Loser]

It is good.

[Slynky]

I wonder if Geo's move has "gotten" the server. Can't seem to get to it.

[Roanon]

About an hour ago I could connect to it and read a message (yes! a new message on the home page of the pbw server! A miracle!) that the server would not move this weekend, although Geo wanted to set all games to ALPU in case something weird happend while he was away and not being able to fix it.

Now I too cannot connect, let us hope that there has been no major crash - anything bad can happen when moving...

[Atrocities]

Hummm, looks like I posted in the wrong spot about this. Oh well. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Yup, seems like the move is on for PBW. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Us PBW Junkies must now suffor while we wait for Geo to get moved and get the PBW server back on line.

DAY 1

[Roanon]

No PBW? Oh no, what shall I do this weekend??? Withdrawal syndroms already starting... is there something for us like spaceempires anonymous, maybe?

[Slynky]

DAY 1<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well, according to this, "Once the ISP move occurs there will be some downtime while I relocate the server. But it doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime this weekend", from Geo, the server should have been up today (and tomorrow, etc.). Hmmmmm http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

I figure he tripped over the power cord on the way out of the house. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Loser]

Shall we start a pool?

I've got dibs on 'mover error'.

Or is that too general?

[Slynky]

Well, he said it would probably be up till the end of the month, so unless something came along and changed that (seems like a slim chance), I'd have to say it just went down (for some reason) on its own and he hasn't noticed.

Outdated info, Para. Latest info was:
----
"Once the ISP move occurs there will be some downtime while I relocate the server. But it doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime this weekend"
----
Of course, you cannot read it anymore because it was on the site that is down now...

[mottlee]

6:10 EST PBW still DOA...Emailed turn.....Hmmm

[narf poit chez BOOM]

wasn't there some sort of anouncement about him putting PBW on ALPU?

[Slick]

To players in Anklebiters and NGC3:

I am currently working 14hrs / 7 days a week for at least the next 2 weeks. I will *try* to get my turns in on time, but if I don't, please cut me a little slack. The end of this year will be a busy time for me.

Slick.

I can not even begin to explain to you all the utter hell I went through when I switched from basic cable to digital cable. I kept getting billed for both. My neighbor moved in next door a year ago from just down the road and has been fighting Comcast ever since about getting service to his new home. They keep turn on the cable at his old house and the low life trailer trash that is currently living there are just loving the free cable they get.

Good luck Geo http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Ok, i canoot say with certainty that Grandpa Kim is not correct. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I have been moving all day and only in the Last few minutes have got my personal PC hooked up on dialup at the new house and found out we are haivng a problem. I may have in fact kicked the wire out on my way out the door. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif The server is still at the old house and should be working. I don't think I can get over there tonight but should be able to in the morning and find out what's going on.

I guess a few hundred documents with several important signatures including the president's and from all of the white house staff will be the minimum needed...

[geoschmo]

Ok, PBW should be back up now. Still at the old place. There is going to be some down time when the actual DSL move occurs. Maybe just hours, but maybe days. This will not happen for at least a couple weeks they are telling me.

Geoschmo

[Loser]

Does not seem to be up, Geo.
I worry, but just a little bit.

[Slynky]

No go for me, either. Of course, it mailed me to say a turn of mine was late... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Ruatha]

Got a nag mail awell, but can't reach the site.

[mottlee]

11:30 EST Still DOA, have gotten Email stating turn done...so I don't know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

[farstryder]

well, thanks to E3 and another, i got my SEIV fix via IP. I'm still sad though, 'cause pbw, while down, is still sending me turn nags. and i can't do anything about it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

[geoschmo]

Ah, I think i know what it wrong. I can't fix it right this moment, but should be able to this evening. The server is up and running, but auto turns are off, so noone need worry about it running your turn without you.

I believe if you email a turn it will process it normally. If somone can confirm this for me I'd appreciate it. When you send your turns by email it should notify you that it recieved the turn.

Geoschmo

[se5a]

awww man! I turned the send turn files via email off...

[Cheeze]

Geo,

Yes, email processing seems to be working normally. I uploaded a couple of turns and received answering Messages back from PBW. Thanks!!

On the down side, I'm also covering for a friend's turns, and I've been doing that by uploading the turns to the site. Guess that will have to wait a bit longer. At least the turn won't process without the turn!

[Omnicron1]

*twitch* *twitch* NO! MY cheeze! back! come out of the castle princess...I just wanna talk. Die Hell Spawn! I'll dance on your grave yet! All hail Commander Picard of the BORG! Resistance is necessary!

---Omnicron1 attempts to combat withdrawal by experimenting with illegal designer drugs and as much alchohol as he can find at the same time, at a pre-Halloween party.

[Baron Grazic]

Uploading of turns via email is working correctly.
My wife, Princess Xanthea just sent her Pairs turn via email and received the "[SEIV PBW] E-mailed turn processed" email.

[parabolize]

i just uploaded my koth turn by email and got this: "Failure processing your turn e-mail. Sorry."

i did not zip it was that what stoped it?

[geoschmo]

Can someone tell me if you can get to PBW now?

Geochmo

[parabolize]

YES!!!!

[se5a]

yup its working!

give us the gory details geo!
did you trip over the power cable? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[se5a]

what do we have to do if we change to email turns if moveing the server/isp troubles takes longer than expected?

[Loser]

PBW sure seems to be up but...

Lithuanian vs. USA has been in "Waiting for Processing" for some time now...

Is the game okay?
