Default Server offline?

Is there something wrong with the server? Been trying to get Pwnboxer
started for 1 hour and always get a connection timeout...

Nothing wrong with my internet connection, everything else works fine.

Or am I the only one having this issue?

When starting up it times out with "checking the registration of Pwnboxer"

Hey all!

You're 100% right, the primary Pwnboxer server went offline, the data center provider had some issues. The backup just went online (some backup!) which is actually a new data center that Pwns the **** out of the old one.

Things should be working again, I see lots of users connecting. If you have issues, try doing "ipconfig /flushdns" from a command prompt and then rebooting to get the new Pwnboxer servers.

All should be good, sorry for the issues and thanks for the heads up!

For the record, things had issues from approx 10am CST until 12:19am CST. A little over 2 hours of downtime in the past ~year? 99.965% uptime, that's not too shabby

Edit: Math fail, that is actually 99.977% uptime!

Edit #2: I just saw about a hundred people restart PB and connect in the past handful of minutes. Wow, so many people are multiboxing this morning, sort of humbling to think how people use PB.

Edit #3: Thanks for the "tip" John if you are reading this. I appreciate the extra license you got, you didn't have to, but I appreciate it. It'll go directly towards extra Starbucks over the next couple days!

Edit #4: Thanks to Peter for the original heads up on the issue. He emailed the Pwnboxer support and said exactly the right thing to let me know what the issue was!
