Ventrilo Update | 12.21.06

[Guildguru]

Well it looks like we are experiencing the 0.3% downtime that DarkStar claims to happen with their service.

Here's what their support says (and guess what server we are on?) FYI - we left their Texas branch because of downtown. :icon_raving: :


Chicago Outage Notification

DarkStar is currently experiencing an outage related to our bandwidth provider www.steadfast.net (http://www.steadfast.net) in the Chicago area. We ask you to kindly understand that our bandwidth provider (Steadfast.Net) is currently experiencing a large network outage and that literally 75% or more of Ventrilo hosts (including us) are experiencing this issue.

We are working with the provider to get the issue resolved, but do not have a current ETA. We are hoping things will be back up and running in the next hour or so. We apoligize for any inconvenience caused and do ask for your understanding with this matter.

Steadfast.Net (our bandwidth provider) provides bandwidth to the majority of the gaming-related service providers out there (including Ventrilo and TeamSpeak hosts, Game Server providers, etc.). We are certainly not the only one affected by this issue.


We will update this page when our network in chicago is back up and running in full force. All other locations are operating normally. However, since we are unable to access client information until Chicago is back online we cannot move anyone at this time. We do not estimate the outage being too much longer.


Thank you.

got an address.

Now listen up, you primitive screwheads. This... is my BOOMstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel... and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. YOU GOT THAT?!

straight from google, cuase its been awhile

All shot from the point of view of the gun scaning the crowd......priceless!

Everything seems to be back up and running.

That is one of my favorite moments in the series....Bruce Campbell is godlike.

I'm still a giant fan of the scene where he buries "Bad Ash"........

Good Ash: "Hey, you got something on your face"

Bad Ash: "Hrmm?"

(ENTER SHOVEL FULL OF DIRT)........classic.

Hey Op, do the providers Pro-rate our service and send a check for the time missed during the outtage? Didn't think so........just like the godless cable providers. The only utility that we actually catch a break on is the Electricity providers......cause when the juice isn't being delivered....the wheel stops spinning. You wanna see people move? Check out the electric company guys after an outtage.....their bosses must go ape$hit on their asses to be fast....
Of course, when you're in Texas or Florida and the temperature hits 110.....you'd probably hold two live wires together if it meant the AC would come back faster......
