NationStates Jolt Archive

I'm not sure if this is the right place to talk about this, but I'm not used to having problems with nationstates. I've been trying to log onto NationStates today, and everytime that I try to, it says my connection has been refused while trying to connect. I've tried using both IE and Mozilla Firefox, and neither one will load up. I can log into all other websites, so I was just curious as to if its a local problem, and someone could give me some advice on how to fix the problem, or if there is something going on that I'm not aware of.

Thanks for any help

I have the same problem.

more people seem to have troubles getting on ns....

come on, i need my daily ride along ns!


*starts shaking and sweating*

That means my company hasn't blocked access through the firewall.

Reminds me...must find public proxy sites...

Same problem, connection blocked using mozilla firefox and IE, since approx 18.00hrs GMT (13.00 EST), my service provider is British Telecom if that's of any use.

Yea, I've been having the same problem for a while now too Says "The connection was refused when attempting to contact www.nationstates.net"

another problem, don't know if its related or not, but when I try to load neseconomy it says the nation doesn't exsist, no matter what nation I put in. Just trying to add more info.

It isn't the first time. I'm hoping it's just routine maintenance, it seems to have a lot of bugs lateley.

Same here, and third geek keeps saying my nation don't exist.

Well, if nationstates.net is down, I would assume thirdgeek (nseconomy) wouldn't be able to draw from the xml feed, and would say your nation is non existant.

ThirdGeek gets its nation information via an XML data feed. Guess where it gets it from? If the NS server goes down, TG can't get at it any more than you or I can.

Correct.

Third-party websites that pull data from NationStates will not be able to get data from your nation.

As for NS being down, I will contact the Admins shortly.

I don't want multiple threads on this. iLock.
