What's up with TMC?

Or rather - is it down?

Can anyone else connect to them? I've been unable to for the last 15 hours or so.
Is it just my server?

It's been down all day for me as well - unavailable from work, from home, or from my android.

Re: What's up with TMC?

Maybe a European connection issue then. This should be an interesting test of how much those Euros really matter to the viability of mudding.

Re: What's up with TMC?

I was getting an error message the day before about the TMC server having too many open processes.

TMC could be under a DDOS attack, though it's probably something else.

Re: What's up with TMC?

Down for me as well. I'm curious as to the actual physical location - I seem to recall it being in the southeast, and it may be affected by all these power outages we've been having.

/is fine, alive, and has power again, btw.

Re: What's up with TMC?

Wolfpaw is up, I thought TMC was hosted there?

Re: What's up with TMC?

TMC is not down for everyone. Anyone try through a proxy or shell?

Re: What's up with TMC?

As far as I know Wolfpaw is still doing Host for Perks with TMC.

I looked up the IP address and that still works, so it must be a dns problem of sorts. I've heard of dns servers dropping domains in the case of DDOS attacks, so that theory still goes.

Re: What's up with TMC?

Who on earth would ddos Mudconnect?
I know there are a lot of jerks out there, but honestly, it doesn't seem a likely scenario. The activity is low, and there hasn't even been any flamewars on their board lately.

It must be something else. I hope the reason isn't that Iccy tired of running it after all these years.
I'll try e-mailing him.

Re: What's up with TMC?

Yup, some server problem apparently.
TMC was up, but the nameserver wasn't running, according to Iccy.

Funny how disturbed one gets when a habit is broken...
