Spacebattles Forums went Blooey
05-07-2013, 12:26 AM
Tried to check up on some forum fics and I keep getting bounced to my router page. I can access the "Are you KIDDING?" Old Spacebattles page itself, but nothing else.
Anyone got any idea what's up?

Always go slow right about now. Every weekday.
But it's still loading for me. Problem is on your end, mate.

it's a little slow for me, but it works.
I'm not sure what would be causing it to bounce to your router's page.

Anyow... things are back to normal but I'm still stymied.
No clue what caused that bit of mess..

It's likely that your ISP had a timed out request for forums.spacebattles.com, and instead of simply returning a http status code (404 Not Found, a 503 Service Unavailable, or even a 418 I'm A Teapot), they returned that router page. After a length of time, it went back to actually checking spacebattles.com again.

All I get when I try to visit the spacebattles forums is a little asci sign for 'the yeti' (also says copyright 2012). 8(
Spacebattle.com works fine, but even using their link to the forums gets the same result. I wonder if they got hacked.

It is working for me, just going really slowly. Just keep refreshing, you'll get through eventually (and add to their server load at the same time!)

Does anyone know what the other project sharing their servers is? That's the actual culprit if I understand correctly.
