Chat Issue

It runs under the French/Swiss border, or so I'd thought. I could be wrong though. *shrugs and shakes a fist somewhat indifferently toward France and Switzerland*

Well, as most of you have guessed it is a problem with the vendor's servers, not ours...

We've been in contact with them and have been told they're working on it.

Unfortunately they have NOT given us an estimate for when it will be back up...

Those of you who are regulars in chat know that I miss it just as much as you all do... hopefully we'll have good news for you soon!

Still can't get in,hope it gets fixed soon.

yeah it just broke down on me after just getting in a few hours ago, even though nobody was there, it did work for me then.

Just get a blank page now so I guess they are working on it ... well hoping !

hey jaded
Does everything on your "pc" seem slower after closing the blank page thing?
Mine seems to slow right down...hmmmm

Spike

I was in during the early morning hours (EDT) with DocGonzo for a little bit but now I see the chat isn't loading again. *shrugs* I should probably be doing other things anyway I guess...

Yes but my laptop has been acting strange the last day or two anyway .... hmm might it have something to do with this ? maybe. I doubt it though.
I am being overly paranoid

I lost my internet connection this afternoon for no good reason too. Just reset the router and it was fine again. Still very strange.

Hmmmm..... perhaps CERN really is the issue. They must have created a pinpoint black hole that is sucking the internet into it! I can only speculate at the consequences for all mankind. I recommend immediate panic and looting. *nodnodnod*

I have been losing my connection a lot since the chat issues started...
I hope it's all coincidence....

Spike

ahhhhhh its still not working how does cern affect ats??

reply to post by anti us gov


Didn't anyone explain to you that ATS funded CERN and our HQ is in the same underground complex ?


ooops did I say that....

I didn't see anything >.>;

So, what are we going to do tonight?

i guess we can make this thread a temporary chat room until the chat is back up and running. if that is alright with the mods of course.

Shhhh, they'll never notice us.
It's not like we've done anything productive in the past few pages anyway, how can a few more hurt? ^^

Chat Refugees II



Let's take the chit chat there and leave this thread for discussing actual Board Business / chat.

Thanks

why dont ATS just use the servers here?
that way its more secure and you have full control over it

reply to post by bodrul


My understanding is that it was specifically because of security issues that it was kept off the site because 123 had holes in it that didn't work with the original chat server's java system.

reply to post by Shugo


the thing is even so its external or internal
it requires access to the main MYSQL database of ATS
so people can use their log in from the forum on the chat client.

either way it requires access to user details and
from what i know thats how it is.

reply to post by bodrul


Right, but it doesn't use anything related to java, which as I said, I think was the concern from the get go, and if it's not doing that...well there you have it.
