[Hisako]

So yaccy has apparenly been having problems accessing the forums:

Pretty funny, huh?

Well, I've already had my chuckles about it (since I'm pretty sure that the site/forums are still up and running) and on a more serious note, she wants this problem sorted out.

Suggestions?

Pixel can't see site, looks like unpurchased page.

Pixel can't see the site.

Worse, it comes up as an unpurchased URL for him.

This is really bizarre. Naturally, it's working fine for me.

How can she be watching two videos at the same time?

Kat: no one gives a fuck and stop being all conceited and narcissistic and thinking everyone cares ilu :3

and also that you're the only one having this problem because you're not

Alex and Tiff are also experiencing this issue.

(but not me tho cause I'm awesome)

but yes fix pls

 

[Hisako]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand apparently Yop is having a problem too


This may be...

:horatio:

... problematic.


ED: Yop just told me that our domain name is probably hijacked, so there you have it. I dunno what happens from there.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Jack it back?

Also:

Hello all,

It seems that TLS' domain name has been hijacked. It's expected TLS will go offline and be redirected to some generic redirect / spam site as the domain name hijack propagates throughout the internet.

I will contact the ISP / domain name registrar and have it fixed ASAP.

In the meantime, you can force TLS to keep working by adding the following line to your hosts file:

174.120.180.222 thelifestream.net

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file) for more information on the file and editing it.

 

[Hisako]

Yeah I saw that.


In any case, it's pretty likely that it's only going to go downhill from here (ie. it'll spread to most of us)

Good night, and good luck, I guess.

 

[Ryushikaze]

Since it's a widespread issue, no reason for it to just be in the staff section.

 

[Cthulhu]

It never was .

Anyways, do the hosts update. I've contacted the host / 'owner' of the domain name and commanded them to fix things or imma sue their ass.

I'll mass-mail everyone in a couple of hours if things haven't been fixed by then.

Worst-case scenario we'll have to find ourselves a new domain name.

That sucks.
Curious that this happened now.
Who've we pissed off recently? I try and track our issues by what inflammatory thing we've uttered recently.

 

[Joker]

shush you how was I to know that more people were having the issue

yes because it's more likely that it is you

AND ONLY YOU

that is experiencing this problem

NOBODY ELSE NOPE NOT AT ALL

freud would say this means you feel like nobody at tls loves you or wants you around so you felt like tls was plotting against you

and that it's somehow your mother's fault that you feel this way (he really was big on 'yo momma did it')

 

[Cthulhu]

It's not, actually, considering we registered TLS yesterday three years ago, fgj .

And we didn't even plan a party .

 

[Dana Scully]

HEY i asked satsu and his was working perfectly fine so ;_;

and i bet freud had mother issues like woah

 

[Tetsujin]

Did the hosts file update although it only works for me using IE (ew).

O.o that's weird. It should work regardless of your browser.

 

[Cthulhu]

Most browsers don't read the hosts file every time. Usually a restart would fix it, or a restart after a while of leaving it off, of something like that.

 

[Tetsujin]

Oh right, that did the trick.

 

[Joker]

HEY i asked satsu and his was working perfectly fine so ;_;

so get on gears woman

 

[Dana Scully]

so get on gears woman

but homework....

ah fuck it

I gots a reply from the host:

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch with us.

Your domain name was not purchased by any other individual, and can still be renewed by you either via logging in at http://www.hostgator.com/domains or by having us renew it for you. As this domain was an eNom domain, it was never set up for automatic renewal as the function to do so did not exist. We have now set up our new billing system to handle automatic renewals however for any domains we add to a billing account.

Email notices regarding a domains expiration are always sent to the listed registrant contact email address, which is not currently listed as your email, which is why you never received a notice. Due to the way eNom works, after a domain is transferred, you must log into the domain to update the WHOIS contact information or it automatically uses the contact information of the eNom reseller account the domain is transferred to.

To renew your domain we would need to create an invoice on your billing account for $15 and we will also add the domain to the account for easy renewal in the future.

Could you please provide us with one of the following: the ticket ID of the original purchase, the invoice ID of the original purchase, the transfer ID for the domain transferring to us, or the eNom transaction ID for the purchase of the domain.

I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause, but this information is necessary to ensure the security of your account.

Best Regards,

I sent them the info, here's to hoping they'll get to fixing it today .

 

[Joker]

omg they're sinking TLS

WITH A GIANT WOOOOOOORM

 

[Ryushikaze]

In unrelated news, nobody take the Brown Acid, it's no good. If you have already taken the brown acid, well, enjoy your trip, man. Hope you come back.

 

[Tennyo]

I was getting the same unregistered URL thing as well. I did the Hosts file thing and now it works.

Is it sad that I would go to the extra trouble to be able to access TLS now when it will be back later? lol
