Since I cant access the irc server I have to post my panic here.

Google has broken!

Google.....broken.


The world as we know it could literally end.


They used to laugh when we told them not to type google into google but just look that they did. Someone shall hang for this.



*Update*

Seems to be fixed (Although it went back for a few seconds).

At least I know it isn't just something on my end for not connecting into IRC.

Aye seems to be fixed, nps here.
My mIRC client on the other hand has been timing out for the past 5 hours, was just debating whether to post or not so glad that's not just me hehe.

Just as I was about to set BD loose and send him round to the server house.... ;)

As for Google, not noticed an issue. First time I've heard of them breaking down though.

Yeah I was surprised to see it really, although they did act pretty fast to sort it.

They crashed a bunch of other servers however as the malicious page warning linked to some sites about it. So they got a huge spike and went down instantly.

Lots of tech sites covering it, so far not much known about what happened though.

Hmmm, I am not really an expert on these matters. I assume you are trying to connect to irc.maxgaming.net and not one of the old mgo connections?

Aside from that, I really do not know. Working fine for the few of us that are in there :blank:

Still no go... trying port 7778 as well as the default 6667 I have. By chance, what is irc.maxgaming.net resolving to? For me, it is saying 72.20.18.19. That the IP addy for those of you connected?

Figured it out... IP addy has changed, so it could be a while for it to propagate. Use 72.20.35.180 if you want in for now.

Cheers dude :thumb:
Managed to connect by typing "/server 72.20.35.180 6667". Still can't connect to irc.maxgaming.net here, just keeps timing out.
