Not to start idle speculation but some dude was being a deusche on irc last night. Could be related to that...

irc

I doubt it would be that. He is running a software shop and selling the service. By selling that service it is no longer at the will of the owner to do whatever he wants. I may be underestimating but I don't think LAX is that unprofessional or stupid. More than likely his ISP took a hit or something happened to isolate his home network from the internet.

It has happened before so I am sure it will be back up at the earliest opportunity.

Is there an alternate IRC.......

Or something that has been put up or is up for when something like this happens so that we can get info or talk?

Frankly, I think you should harass Lax into adding a 3rd authentication server that has nothing to do with his other ISP.

Heck, the 3rd server could just be an on/off switch that lax could set when he's having major ISP problems. In other words, if the first two are dead, he could set it to ON and everyone would be able to use innerspace regardless of authentication during that period. That would be the best in my opinion.

bohika - sorry

If I misunderstood what you meant but I don't know any other way to interpret it. A dickhead in irc can't directly affect the lavish servers unless you are insinuating that that dick was an uber hacker and the irc server is on the same server lavish uses for his forums and the guy somehow used an exploit to crash the server itself. A bit of a stretch and not the first thing I would have guessed but a possibility.

Please accept my apology and feel free to let me know what you actually meant.

Thanks

lax runs all of his services on the same server... Web, IRC, auth... probably an issue with his datacenter...

I can't log into game........

So backup server must not be totally working, I've been a member for quite a while so shouldn't be that it's an older back up either, just keep getting the -114 could not verify error

mkay, you don't have to be an uber hacker to have or have access to a botnet
you don't have to actually crash a box to deny service
not sure why you are apologizing this is an open discussion i'm not god, or even a little bit in charge :)

**edit

depending on how it's setup he may have had to change a dns entry to get the backup server online, try flushing your dns cache if you'r having problems and other people arent
start>>run>>cmd>>ipconfig /flushdns

haha

I understand that you don't have to be an uber hacker to do those things. I exaggerate for effect. I was sort of hoping you were God though. But I guess if you were God I suppose you would have realized I was trying to be just a little funny. How disappointing. I will appoint a new God for myself immediately! You up for it Ama? :D

InnerSpace should work for those that are subscribed. I just let it go for a while and finally it will come up.

Still problems??

I just had to reboot, which I have been avoiding as long as possible because what I was afraid of is going on, I can't get logged back in to innerspace or lavish software
