Why does the internet want to break us up? - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

I haven't been able to connect to the tfp from my home internet connection since the server crashed. I flushed the dns, cleared the cache, reset the modem, all that shit. Somehow using an anonymous web proxy allows me to see all you wonderful people here, but without it all I get is a "The server at tfproject.org is taking too long to respond." error.

Did you guys block my ip address? What did i ever do to you? Why do you hate me? Am i going to be forced to use call of duty 4 as my sole means of wasting valuable productivity or what?

Seriously though, this sucks.

No... we just don't like you.

Jesus, you managed to come back? Damn it, we're going to have to find another way!

filtherton · 03-01-2008, 09:30 PM

Seriously, though.

Any ideas?

I think that the DNS servers that my modem likes are lame, but I really don't know anything about that shit, so I really have no clue.

Onodrim has also been unable to connect since the crash. Not sure what the problem is :/

i was able to connect at work, but not from home, then the home ISP DNS servers refreshed and I was good.

probably just crappy DNS caching. it happens. try a different DNS server or add an entry to your hosts file: on windows 2000/xp (don't know about vista) open the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad and add the line
209.50.238.202 www.tfproject.org
(probably want to take it out when DNS updates)
