Is the Sacred International Forum offline at the moment ?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I have both the official german sacred forum and the international/english forum bookmarked..

 

 

just noticed that I can access the german site,

 

but if I try my link for the english forum,

 

I just get "can't find server for adress http://forum.sacredeng.ascaron-net.com/ "

 

was thery any shutting-down or maintenance-notice on the forum before it wen't down?

 

..or, is it only me who can't find it anymore..

Don't work here either, using Internet Explorer BTW.

 

EDIT: What do you mean by finally? do you hope they close it down for good?

sry no, on the contrary:

 

I was afraid that they might eventually do so, and I hope they didn't/won't/will not

 

that is because I think I heard rumours about that in the past..

 

'finally' seems to be understood in that context, sry :butcher:

 

edit:

 

did you try hard refreshing your browser?

I did, cleared all active logins, cookies, cache, website settings etc using the built in dialog in firefox 3.6.2 ...

 

even checked and made sure I didn't accidentally blocked the link for the english forum...

 

could only imagine that its related to my local inet-provider tho I never encountered any problem (no blocked IP or sites..)

 

tried to ping both adresses via cmd console, worked for german site, didn't for the english forum..

 

you all using the same URL ?

 

well, will try again later, maybe its an update issue with my provider anyway

I tried both my bookmarked link and Google. Neither is working at the moment. I'd advise patience for the moment. If it's still gone after 24-72 hours, then you can say it's shut down. Firefox browser for those who want to know.

indeed, you're right about that.

Wow, this is weird. At this point the only thing I can think of is that a major pipeline in europe must have gone down and traffic isn't being routed as before. This happened once before with a site that me and Schot used to check in the States...and for a few days, we were having huge problems connecting. Schot was able to do traceback and discovered the name of the company (forget which...but they are one of the ones that bascially own the net here in North Amercia) that was not routing properly and the site we were visiting actually spoke to their hoster who then escalated.

Edit: I created a topic in german forum about SIF. Hope some with some knowledge will read it and answer.

None of my normal nameservers is finding the ip number of SIF anymore. Some free not so often updated nameservers still have an ip number for SIF but I cannot connect to this number.

I edited the title , hopefully less confusing now leading to wrong assumptions..

 

changed the starting post as well, added the current status as of now which I will update every now and then

 

(between bossruns, and after I returned from shopping, combined with a small walk :butcher: ..finally weather cooled off a bit again. I hate when it becomes hot too fast in the spring)

Yes 90km/h wind speed, 1cm rain in 8 minutes and a lot of thunder and lightning, Westerwald area in germany. Weather did a nice welcome to my kids when they left school today for easter breaks. Too fast too hot

 

I tried again to reach SIF, still no luck.

I know of no maintainance going on, we haven't been told that anything is planned.

 

I could get on before work this morning and can get on now with no problems. Do you guys still have trouble getting on the SIF?

Link to comment

forum moderators on the german side are aware of the problem now and will forward it, updates in the link chattius provided.

 

 

(wee, it was so refreshing outside today :butcher: got quite windy and clouded here too now, but no rain yet.)

Seems to be working fine for me as well. When I tried the SIF about 30 mins ago I was getting the same error message as the rest of you but just 5 minutes ago the SIF loaded fine and still is. Just a kink in the works I guess. :butcher:

PowerPyx wrote in the thread I opened:

die die seite noch sehen, sehen einen gecacheten zustand aus den DNS ihres providers...

 

Selbst eine abfrage des google public dns löst nicht mehr auf da keine Einträge mehr zu dieser Domain vorhanden scheinen.

 

People who can still see the site are seeing a cached/frozen Site from the DNS of their provider.

A request at the google public dns is failing, since the domain no longer holds any entries.

 

A post earlier in the above thread he supposed that they forgot to renew the entries for the forum.

I'm sure they "forgot" to renew the entries, would be quite covenient if SIF got a so called un-fixable problem so ds can host the official Sacred site on their own forum like it was planned from the beginning.
