Is my website down, or is it just me?

Sorry to bug everybody, but my website seems to have gone kerflunk- http://www.wolfegames.com ... can anybody confirm that it's down everywhere? I have not yet been able to reach my support folks.

It is up from my location.

Oh, good, then it's just a local disaster on the Internet trunks somewhere. That is a lot better than "omg, they forgot to re-register your domain, and it will shortly be used to sell porn" or whatever.

FWIW I get a "connection was reset" when I click your link.

Same for me.

imo that site needed redesigning from scratch anyway. A simple blog style news with small pages for each project would do fine.

That and it was a design disaster, the artwork was subpar, even for you argh, I know you can do far better.

connection reset here too

AF, this is why some people dislike you. Argh simply asks if his website is up and you take the opportunity to say it's crap.

...and you know damn well that if someone posted the same thing in the thread about your website, you'd pitch a hissy fit.

AF · Post by AF » 28 Aug 2007, 09:37

Actually I posted a thread not long ago asking wether ym new design is better or not and people said it was crap. Infact everytime I redesign my website I start such a thread.

And Argh has gone on record in the past saying his website isnt exactly a work of art too.

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 28 Aug 2007, 10:41

Um, it's poorly coded, has bad layout, and I'd agree the art's not the best ever, yup. I haven't changed the front page in over a year, either.

I can't justify spending any time on it than I do, because it'd be pointless. Lots of people look at the website's contents every day, but almost nobody hits the front end.

It's a very minor Web destination, and I've never really seen any point in trying to grow it, when I have more important stuff to do, nor do I think web-traffic would increase much, if I started actively maintaining it, frankly. I view it as storage space that I've made a minimal effort to put a front end on, and the time to edit it and make it pretty seems ill-spent. However, I'll probably rebuild the front page again, when PURE hits Alpha, just to have an update for a change...

Indeed, I think you could get a lot more out of it with little effort.

An install of wordpress or drupal would suffice or even just static html with a similair styled layout.

Also for your 'file dump' you might find a better directory listing script useful. I use one for darkstars that shows icons and thumbnails on mouse overs of images if you want it.

btw where is your site hosted?

You're *obviously* just trying to advertise your site :)
Doesn't work for me (in the UK).

It's responding to ICMP pings but not http requests..perhaps the server software has fubared?

Neddie · Post by **Neddie** » 29 Aug 2007, 00:36

Still up from the UC Berkeley connection.

Guessmyname · Post by **Guessmyname** » 29 Aug 2007, 00:55

And still borked for me in the UK

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 29 Aug 2007, 01:35

Still down for me, here in Indiana

I've written to the host again, dunno what's wrong, if some people are able to see the site, then the problem must be DNS related.

I too am getting a (awefully fast...) connection reset, so I decided to send a ping to the url. Using www .wolfegames. com gets a result from 66.96.132.101 (would that be you?), but adding in http:// gets nothing... course, I'm not yet knowledgeable of the intricacies of netcode, so don't ask me what any of that would mean!

yuritch · Post by **yuritch** » 29 Aug 2007, 08:32

Works strange for me: the site opens, but each frame gives "HTTP gateway timed out" message so that the page is composed of several such messages in subframes.
To Archangel of Death: never use prefixes such as http:// or ftp:// with ping. You ping http://www.somesite.com, not http://www.somesite.com.
