Dang G3D

[irwin]

This is weird today with the G3D stuff.

[Leon]

Yeah, I have to use the IP address just to get here. This bites...

[attgig]

:angry:


well, i dunno if they were hackers or not, but this does bite...
good thing i saved the ip's during the last dns screw up...whew!!!

[attgig]

the smileys won't show :(

but yeahs...you should get g3d to post a link on their front page to the ip address...

[mojo]

when i first tried to get here, i got some weird porn site involving midgets dressed as oompa loompas from charlie and the chocolate factory. oh, wait...that was cruelpupet's home page :D

[Y2J]

Cruelpupped has midget porn you say?
midget wrestling too?

and yeah, it sucks having to use the IP addy to get here

[Speedfreak]

dns problem.

[welfareloser]

yeah... y'all are just trying to move and not give me a forwarding address... i see how it is...

[Markel]

Looks like a lot of people are having trouble getting in today. I had the IP address saved from the last time.

[DoPeY5007]

I was able to get into the chat and got the IP there :)

[Markel]

This is the kind of situation that can distinguish the true hard-core G|A junkies from the rest. :hihi:

Yeah thats for sure :P :D :)

[ribitch]

I was like wtf? I figured gotapex merged with that other site, which i must say blows. Thank god they havent. Got|Apex Rules!

[BADFlSH]

Wow, I thought we had another sight redesign there for a minute. Then I couldn’t find the deals and thought I had been sent straight to hell!

[Markel]

Boy, sure is quite around here. You can almost hear an echo:

HELLO!
...HELLO!
......HELLO!

(Too bad I didn't have the DNS bookmarked at work... I have it at home but not there... so I was (_o_) out until they got it fixed.)
I have the 63.214.181.197 on a post-it note. :)

I have portions of the original message on the front page from their last screw up


Then you are one of the few. Network Solutions has pooched screwed our DNS, so you can only access us from http://63.214.181.197/. Sigh.

I guess it will be working when it's working. But feel free to spread the word.

Oh, I should mention this does appear to affect our email as well. If you need to get ahold of me - not that I can do anything, but still, try [email protected]

[Nanotech9]

me and a few others just started posting on the G3D forums (General topics). Some of us were up to 15 i think :D :heh:

i think they were starting to feel invaded.

[attgig]

in windows command prompt
ping gotapex.com:

pinging gotapex.com [63.214.181.81] with 32 bytes of data:..


that ip is still g3d...
???

[Burzhui]

I was so frigin scared i though it was the end of the world, when i typed gotapex.com in and i was directed to some gaming site, freaked the hell out of me, i had a panic attack and imed Jenny and she told me about the dns problem:P

phew

Maybe one of us with the IP address should have posted it over there to guide the wayward one back home. :) Reminds me of how if you go to www.swa.com (looking for southwest airlines), they have a link (probably paid for by southwest) on the page directing you to www.southwest.com .

yeah I thought it was a redesign @ first as well :eek:

[BrewMaster]

What the hell are y'all talking about? What's G3D? I've had absolutely no problem getting here yesterday and today (this morning and right now).

[Wizard]

Problem was fully server side and I apologize for the whole RealGN staff about it. Rest assured it will not be a normal occurance and we are all doing are best to keep all of the RealGN sites going smoothly.

[g222leav]

yea, when i got up to leave this morning around 5 something, it was gang3d, i made a screen shot just to prove it, i thought it was just me...

[DoPeY5007]

[Markel]

Hey g222leav, are you following the AMD giveway in the Deals section? It's in Chicago (Brickyard mall) tomorrow morning. I don't think I'll try for it - 6:00am is too early.

[TheCorp]

Ahhh yes, this is TheCorp your favorite admin speaking, and as we all know, SBPs mortal enemy =)

Anyways, Ill explain it in more detail later if I get time, but in short, our host told us they were taking back 256 IPs from our ClassC block and we had to move a lot of our sites down to lower IPs. Of course it was really cool that they told us this last night at 11 PM. So ya, in the mad rush to fix god knows how many sites, subdomains, and DNS records, we must have mixed some things up with the GotApex IPs and the rest of our site IPs. No GamingIn3D is not a bunch of hackers, they werent involved in this little goof up, it was all our fault. Anyways, it should be better now, sorry about all this guys, if you are angry at someone, go look up who ARIN (its a group) is and spam them to death =)

[Wizard]

And let me add... If there are any problems with the server, simply I didn't do it ;)

I didn't touch it or break anything.

Blame Jason he's the one with the fat fingers that always messes up on typing, eh Jason? tit ;)

[TheCorp]

Ok lets take a quick look at WIzard's name. "RealGN Slave". Hmm yes thats interesting isnt it. Personally I would have preffered "RealGN's Bitch" but seeing as Got|Apex is a family site...

=)

So yea, dont make fun of my fat fingers, you know I am insecure about that. *sniff* Haha, thats hilarious considering Im the guy who is aptly named skin and bones ;-)

"Your fingers are too fat to use this phone, please mash the keypad to obtain a special dialing wand" - Name that quote, and what episode. =)

To Jason: Don't you know you shouldn't use the forums for personal messages?

To DF: This name stays, this final "incantation" is for use as RealGN's Marketing Guru I have little/no intention of spending time here posting continously... I just don't have the time to do it.

[sbp]

Yes this is the same Wizard from before. He wanted to use a new member name for a fresh start.

[Wizard]
