disregard that, just a problem at my end, sorry

[willy88]

Hmm, it seems to be down for me, all I get is a blank page....

[doggie015]

just happened to me as well

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://orbit.m6.net/Forum/default.aspx

The following error was encountered:

Connection to 64.34.165.119 Failed
The system returned:

    (146) Connection refused



Orbiter Forum Status: DOWN

[tl8roy]

Damn you M6

[NukeET]

Yes, M6 strikes again.  The Forum is once again down as of 0110 MDT, 24 Aug 2007.

That not right. We only do it while waiting for M6 to get off their collective ass and do something.

[Urwumpe]

We should make a DG M6. Refuses to ignite its engines from Friday to Sunday.

[anemazoso]

Is it just me or is the main Orbiter page dowm too?

[Urwumpe]

Same server, same problems.

[Doug Beachy]

Yes, both the main Orbiter page and the forum are down this time.  M6 downtime is back with a vengeance...

Only the forum is down. The true URL for the Orbiter site is this: http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/
www.orbitersim.com and http://orbit.m6.net is just redirection URLs for http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/.

What's not right?  When M6 is down, you have plenty of choices.

I agree, try PHPBB or something, ANYTHING other than M6
I am seriously considering bringing back my old orbiter forum

PHPBB is a forum software, M6.net is web hosting service provider! So not the same thing!

ORbiterfan, do you ever sleep?!
SEriously, you post at just about any time of day, it's very disconcerting

That has been the case ever since yesterday.

[C3PO]

I've got a theory that M6 is run by some extremely busy people in their spare time.

C3PO a écrit:

That does not fit to the theory of modern management by delegation:

If you want something done, delegate it to somebody who is already busy.


My theory is: M6 is run by the same kind of managers, who run former government agencies, which are now turned into
commercial enterprises. Like the DB (German railways). They work hard for improving their profits...by letting their
infrastructure and their main cash cows (for the railways: The regional traffic) deteriorate.

[tl8roy]

So, Since i've only been on the forums for a few months, did the forums go down during Christmas?
