Hi folks,

A lot of people are having trouble accessing the site (probably nearly everyone) because our web hosting company has changed something without warning us, and so the normal system that converts "pocket-monkey.com" into an IP address so your browser can talk to the site isn't responding. (For techies: They've decomissioned the nameservers we were listed on, and so we're waiting for our domain record update to list the new nameservers.) If you're reading this, apparently you're not affected (yet) but you could be at any time; if so, use http://64.246.18.55 temporarily until the problem is sorted out.

We're getting this sorted out, but in the meantime, game timeouts are turned off.

Sorry for the hassle,

The name resolution is mostly working again, most people should be okay using the normal link again.

Hi folks,

I've reset the "must move by" date on all active games so that they all now have their maximum amount of time to move (starting from now), and have turned timeouts back on. That means that, for instance, even if there's been no move in a 3-day limit game for two days, the player the game is waiting on has 3 days to move starting from now (in case they were unable to access the site because of the name resolution problem).

Enjoy your games!

Can you give me any detail? Seems to work fine for most other people. We haven't changed anything here, have you updated your system lately? (Do you happen to use MSN?)

Hi again,

Please ignore that question and instead answer the questions in this thread.

Thanks,
