ummm... what happened?
 

When I tried to get to GFF this afternoon, I kept getting redirected to some site advertising some casino thing or something (I don't remember what it was, I didn't really care). Even searching google just took me to the same site, even when I tried to go into certain areas of the site like certain threads. Is our domain name commandeered like this often?

I would have to suspect so as no one else seems to be saying anything about it...

Look in this thread

that doesn't really look like the same issue, but... ok

the issue wasn't logging in, it was that gamingforce seemed to cease to exist for a few hours. It doesn't look like i was the only one, there's something like a 3 to 3 1/2 hour gap in activity this afternoon...

It just seems like it's GFF's time of the year again.

For some odd reason for the past two years, the site seems to go dead just around this time for a short amount of time.

It kinda just seems normal to me at this point.

It was Shin's birthday recently, you should have known some sort of downtime (even temporary) was imminent. :p

As far as I and others in chat could discern, there appeared to be a hiccup in the DNS registries that the ad site took advantage of when it got updated.

Basically, the domain registration expired and Hostway never sent me a reminder email. Kudos to Teioh for alerting me.

I've renewed it for 5 years, so it'll be a while before I pull another Bobo.

Waiting for the drunk blah in Cancun pictures to surface.
