The service provider keeps having their own DNS server point to itself or another of their own DNS servers so requests go into the big black hole of the internet. Pretty obvious when you look at a tracert.

Haven't you figured it out yet? There is no real life... we're all trapped in a matrix representation of real life... playing games that simulate real life for other fictional characters...
There is no reality... On the other hand... it is nice and comforting that Dumpshock is back |

Since our hosting is kindly donated by html.com, when they rolled out a new billing system, our account got suspended as we weren't actually IN the billing system. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Think of the awesomeness that could happen if, next time Dumpshock goes down, everyone wrote a short adventure and posted it when the site came back up. Harness that downtime for good!

OMG! That was horrible!! I sat here stunned , staring at the screen. My mind was spinning uncontrollably. Will dumpshock return? What Evildoer is responsible for this act of mindless innernet terrorism? HOW COULD SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN?????????
Praise all that is holy, though my Dumpshock is back.!! I can breathe again. and on the positive side, my family has quit calling me "that guy who lives in the computer room " and I got a shower and the dogs will sit by me again. so i guess its a good thing.

As I am typing, I am sick at home, suffering from withdrawal symptoms. OK, suffering from a cold.
Praise ye the Matrix that Dumpshock is back. |

Maybe Dumpshock should be one of the Technomancer streams I keep hearing about?

My hand does not draw maps that are as nice as printouts from Methods honeypot. Figures that "Method" is not a helpful term on a general internet search... About that time my own PC broke and I started to be afraid of alltogether lost info. It was a cold, cold world. |

Say what you will but it sure seems like mankind made most of it's major accomplishments before the internet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
We found new continents, oppressed indigenous people, fought slavery, went to the moon, invented all sorts of thing. Perhaps the internet is what's actually holding us back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Unfortunately, while most people are coming up, some are coming down... So maybe its better to say that the internet encourages mediocrity? -paws Wow, what a depressing thought... |

Hehe... I'm just saying that it sure does feel like we haven't really uh... accomplished anything in the last 30 or so year (I know that's a gross generalization, the human genome springs to mind and CERN) but I mean... if you had to represent the last 3 decades versus the previous 3 it'd be like:
Representative For the 40's-60's: We fought Nazi's and landed on the moon. Representative For the 70's-2010: War on uh... Terror? That was good right? We learned how to genetically engineer glowing rats and plants? No? er... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Look let me be totally honest with the rest of you, this just my way of shaming humanity into stopping all this stupid shit and focus on what really matters. Awesome science. Like permanently colonizing Mars. Yeah! What now! How bout them apples previous generations of man! We might not have discovered the facets of modern medicine or produced mind boggling good art but yEEEEEEHAH! We live on Mars. Right now I just feel like we don't have much to show for ourselves. Well, aside from vast amounts of internet porn. That has to count for something. |
