NationStates Jolt Archive

Right, I recently just tried to get onto nationstates.net, only to find the following message.

"The Connection was refused when trying to connect to nationstates.net"

Now does anyone know why this is happening? Any suggestions?

Same thing happens to me, so it's not just on your end of things.

*Wipes brow* Thats atleast not just me, I was afraid I had been IP banned, not sure why though. I have only ever done one thing

Yeah, and we've just been waiting to slam you on it. We're just waiting for the right time, when you least expect it ...


Everyone is getting a variety of errors on a regular or irregular basis. Some of them relate to the datebase, some to the connection status (page not found, etc), others to the server software. Just reload the page, you'll eventually get through.

Meh, I've been trying since I saw this thread, and I still haven't gotten through yet.

I didn't mean that as a insult or anything, I was mearly stating I would be confused if it had been, because I as far as I know I haven't done anything against the rules, thanks for the advice.

Just now when I tried to log onto Nation States I got this error message

I've gotten other errors before, but it was always failed to contact NationStates.net or something like that, does this mean I was banned or something :confused:
And just an hour before I was on NS and just logged off.

Thanks for that, I was scared I was IP banned even though I haven't done anything.

I just had the same problem, I was scared i was IP banned so I posted in Moderation, glad to see it's just a techie issue.

So... the mods do keep grudges, I KNEW IT! The conspiracy theories are going to roll out now. :D

Try maybe the site is down... :headbang:

Second time this month...it IS the Apocalypse.

You too?

Wait, I think I've figured it out! The mods have proactively blocked us from creating UN multi rings BY SHUTTING DOWN ALL OF NS!!!!!!!!
:eek:

Those wacky mods and their psychic powers... Next thing you know, we'll be getting warnings before we ever start even playing NS.

This server shutdown does not mark the inauguration of the NS Department of Precrime, and posters will not be monitored by specialised teams of telepaths.

Oh dear Gods no!!
Mental image *Pokes eyes out*

What's being done to resolve this issue, I've been trying to get on to NS for over 1 1/2 hours, I really need to read my TG's and send a few, and check out a region my friend made.

So any idea what's being done. :confused:

Patience, young grasshopper, patience. In time, all things will be resolved. Worry about later later, enjoy now now!

Yeah, your right, I just hope this is resolved before the update, I need to defend.

That technology was supposed to predict when the next break-up of the Ramones would be! Noooooooo, don't push the red button!

I'll give the mods the benefit of the doubt, if only because I'm pretty sure that if Mods held grudges to that extent at least 9 of them would deat me on sight at the first sign of doubt in their awesomness. So, to repeat, Mods rule. Yay. Go mods.

On a more serious note, it could be a DoS attack. Has anyone checked?

I'm having the exact same problem and I've been trying to log on for the last half hour :headbang:

(Normally it's Jolt and not NS that crashes...at least when Jolt is down I don't assume that I've been IP bannned in the evil m0dz0r c0nsp1racy of d00m :p )

Yeah, same here, and the mods are a cool bunch, they've help me out on 1 ocassion, and warned a nation in an other display of the great all-powerful Mods

This is one of those times when "eventually" might mean "tomorrow".

www.nationstates.net is down, and won't be up until an admin resets it.

I think we kind of figured that Fris. ;)

And at least I know that invaders won't be able to raid if this takes till tomorrow.

*Passes out NS withdrawl recovery kits* :D

Since NS is down..have any ideas?

*comes back from alter*
Well i just sacrificed a baby lamb, and prayed to the NS Gods (Mods), we could start an RP, or maybe just a joke thead? Or you could read this Scary Story (http://www.forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=414208)

Oh, Pope Hope thanks for the kits.

If you were IP Banned, you would have got a page that said that you were IP banned. But with the server down we get what we got. Hope it doesn't last too long. I've noticed that there were a few problems for the past week, so it hardly was a surprise that they might be trying to fix it. I just wish that there was someone official to explain things for sure.

At least it will be eventually back up and running. I'd hate to think that there is no more NationStates. :(

On Thirdgeek, I typed in alot of nation names and it said "This nation does not exist!" So maybe all of our nations have been erased to? That would be a buzz kill.

Thirdgeek generates nation reports from the live NationStates XML feed. If the site is down, so is the feed.

somebody go pour cold water on the server admin to wake them up :rolleyes:

I think I'll let them be. After all, it's not yet six in the morning (in the UK), and on a Satuday to boot!

What time is it in Australia? :cool:

4.29 in the afternoon :).

The main sites been down most of the day for me too. Guess this is one of those times when patience is a virtue :D.

couldn't they just hire a night crew? :confused:

Whatever, I just want Nationstates back up.
This is the second time Nationstates has been down in a month, yes?

Something like that.

*Prank-calls Jolt and plays the "Green Acres" theme song on repeat*

Does anyone know why NationStates.net is down?

Looks that way.

No shit Captain Obvious.

Something like that.

I tried to talk to you on IRC, but you weren't there :(



And just to keep this post on topic. Damn Nationstates being down again! This is the second time this week!

Does anyone know why NationStates.net is down?

Read the thread, Fris has given a clear explanation on things, NS is down, and it won’t be going up until an Admin resets it. Just cope with it, your nations will be back...... in good time I'm sure :p .

Correction, until an admin wakes up.

It's fricking noon in the UK :headbang:

And if either of the NS Admins lived in the UK, that'd mean something :p

Here I am enjoying a nice snooze, and the site goes down and awakes me from my slumber.

What to do?

I know! I'll log into the forum until we come back and look amusedly at all the people griping about a free service that burped!

That's allways good for a few laughs :)

YAY!

St. Peter is guarding the gates of heaven. He's gotta piss like crazy, so he's looking around and who comes walking along but Jesus.

St. Peter goes: "Hey! Jesus! Come here. I gotta take a leak like you wouldn't believe. Can you guard the gates for me for a bit?"

Jesus replies: "Well, I don't know Pete, I've never done it before and..."

Peter cuts him off: "Look, it's easy. By the time they get here, they've already been screened. You just have to make them feel welcome. You know, ask them about life on Earth or something. I'm outta here."

So Jesus stands there and waits, and it's a slow day in heaven and no one's really coming through until this little old man walks up.

Jesus goes : "Welcome to Heaven!"

Old man: "Thank you, thank you."

Jesus: "So!... What'd you do on Earth?"

Old man : "Well, I was a carpenter."

Jesus: "Really! That's very interesting. My father was a carpenter."

Old man: "Well, that's very sad. I lost contact with my son when he was very young."

Jesus' eyes widen and he goes : "SERIOUSLY? Can you tell me anything about your son? Any distinguishing marks or anything?"

and the old man goes : "well, he had holes in his hands and his feet...."

and Jesus goes:" ... Dad?"

and the old man goes:

"... Pinocchio?"

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to
be eight again." she replied. On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her off to the local theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, every thing there was. Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. Right away, they journeyed to a McDonald's where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake. Then it was off to the movies: the latest Star Wars epic, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, and her favorite lolly and M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, Well, Dear, what was it like being eight again?" Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. "I meant my dress size!!!!!!!

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's gonna get
it wrong.

its back
Yay!
