This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Dumpshock???

Is anyone else having issues going to Dumpshock forums?

I've been checking sporadically all day. other than breifly this morning, the site has consistently taken me to a 'parked site' page. Very odd.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

I'm seeing the same thing. Either they're redecorating or someone accidentally deleted index.php. :)

Speaking of sites with odd messages, what's up with Nothingland?

Same here. I'll see if I can find out more.

Crappy news, I'm afraid:

Quote from: Adam JuryWe're not entirely sure what's up yet, but we think it's a DNS poisoning attack. We haven't lost the domain -- it's registered until 2009 -- so we'll be back when our ISP resolves things.

Sadly, since it's a DNS attack, there's no way we can put up a placeholder page or a redirect or anything like that.

:( :rant:

But someone else could put up DNS pointed to their IP's. I'm currently out of control for domain names and servers that I could nonchalantly fuck around with (Fuck I wish I had an open DNS under my control again) but I could ask around. It'd be something fucked up like dumpshock.somethOtherFuckingDomain.com or something.

Update!

Quote from: Neuron Basher (Admin)As most of you are probably aware, Dumpshock.com has been unavailable for the better part of the day. Our hosting provider is currently working on moving from one datacenter to another and part of those changes caused our DNS system to be completely broken. I'm currently working on restoring it now, but it'll probably be several hours before everything is back to normal.

In addition to this, all of the Dumpshock sites will be going down on Saturday to move to the new datacenter. It could take several days for some of them to come back online. Thanks for your patience.
