Investigating subdomain downtime...

Seems like DHN has been inaccessible since Saturday. I'll take a look into this.

Edit - I submitted a support ticket. I was paranoid that this happened because someone issued a complaint to Dreamhost about the site (perhaps another wacko Game Ponder who's upset about having been parodied in one of the sketches or game reviews section). But I noticed that rpgcritic.flyingomelette.com is also down (there's nothing there but a test index page - Crawl was going to archive all of the WD RPG Critic's reviews there but hasn't gotten around to it yet). But since both are down, I think that rules out the complaint theory. Must be a problem with the server, though I don't know why or how it could possibly only affect subdomains and not the entire domain.

Think of what you're saying,
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out
And get it straight or say good night.

They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

Oooookaaayyyyy....now my whole domain is down. I guess it definitely is a server issue...

Edit - Problem seems to be intermittent. DHN is back up, but I got no response from Dreamhost yet.

Dreamhost replied and said it was a server issue. They fixed it.

Do you know what the complaint was about and whether Dreamhost took it seriously?

There was no complaint. It was just a server issue.

I got paranoid because I recently linked a couple of pages on DHN at another message board in a topic about funny game reviews, and then the next day the site is down. I thought there was some chance that someone lurking on that board was either one of the people whose reviews I linked or friends with them. It just seemed suspicious that a subdomain would be down but not the entire domain, but I guess that's just how server glitches can work sometimes.

Okay, I misunderstood. I thought you meant someone complained earlier before the site went down and it was pending or something.

We haven't had any emailed complaints for a long time. Then again, we don't update that much either.

No emailed complaints, but someone did complain about the GH64 jokes. Again.

It's not the GH64 jokes that I find funny. It's the way people react to them that's fucking funny.

Yeah, agreed. It's hard to still find the same jokes funny after so many years, but when people continue to get that pissed about it, it just makes me laugh.

Is that what Troy meant when he told me a Game Pond fag came through here recently? Ha ha! It's funny they're still getting angry over DBDH Arena after all these years.

Wait a minute. I'm confused. Are you guys talking about Slayer who complained about Troy and MYG making GH64 references at my board recently? Or did someone else post here or email the site about the GH64 stuff again?

I thought we were talking about Slayer's reaction to Troy and MYG's posts about GH64 in your game review forum. If someone posted here or emailed the site about it, I missed it.

Jesus Christ, people are STILL showing up to whine about this shit after what... 8 years??

I'm sorry but that really is beyond just normal internet lamer annoyance. That's a serious fucking mental problem.

Pero, I think we all thought that back in 2002.

My favorite part is how he always demonstrates his limp grasp on the english language by attempting to use big words that he invariably ends up misusing. You really need to put him in the RAU Gallery. Or if DH goes through with her DBDH Arena idea, you could have him attempt to use a big word as a weapon, but he misuses it and it backfires on him. That'd be great! lol.

Metaphorically speaking, he already is. Doesn't the idea of a never-ending horde of hive-minded drones taking over everything ring a bell?
