Simple, and the simplest of problems are the most difficult to solve.
I cannot get here without a Proxy Server serving me as a go between. 'The connection has timed out' appears on my browser, Mozilla FireFox, and also happens on Internet Explorer.
It worked a week ago.. what could possibly be wrong?
Try using Opera?
I would blame Micro$oft if Internet Explorer does that problem too.
Yes, that's what I'm wondering myself. I'm not sure if I am relieved that someone is actively pursuing the cause to this problem, or somewhat discontent that none has been found yet. Anyway I thank you for trying to fix this issue, I really hope you manage to do so. Using proxy servers is rather annoying actually.
And dammit, Good luck. Seriously.
I would blame Micro$oft if Internet Explorer does that problem too.
It's not the browser.
*Somewhat confused* Who is trying to figure it out? I am, but I can't do a whole lot on my end.
The Browser isn't the problem, it used to work, and the only reason I can think of thats stopping me is the Forum/Site itself, only that doesn't make sense. Unless IP Banning prevents the banned from even connecting to the site, I don't think its that. Its more likely to have a page that says you can't get in, you are banned, something to that effect.
I'm in Japan, if that helps.
My apologies. You see, this post was made a few hours after I called my IP tech support and asked them if there was a problem on their end, such as some kind of routing problem, etc, because I too have been unable to access this site from my computer for about three days and have had to resort to using a proxy server also. It must've been merely a coincedence.
If you say you are from Japan I think it's also safe to assume that many others are having this same...strange problem. I really don't know how to go about fixing it though.
Contact DarkDragon... maybe he'll have some suggestions 😊
Alright, I PM'd DD about it, but I think he's been pretty busy lately. Hopefully we'll add another peice to this puzzle.
Yeah, okay, the exact same thing is happening to me now.
I actually AGN had gone down for the last 24 hours. It wasn't until I got a mail telling me about a PM...
if you haven't already, clear out all temporary internet files, including all cookies, for all browsers you use, then reboot your computer. if it doesn't fix your problem, then i'm not sure what the problem would be...
I'm pretty sure it has successfully been narrowed down to hostrocket as the most likely probable cause.
Wow, against all odds the proxy server I was using itself started \"timing out\" and so I had to find another one. And yeah, I\'ve cleared all my cookies and stuff.
If you can't access the domain, post your IP (the one you can't access with, not the proxy you're using, of course). There are some entries in the .htaccess which might be blocking you.
Is there someone I can send my IP to? I'm not just about to put my IP up for everyone to see. Please respond quickly, I'm nearly out of proxies. However, I FINALLY got registered on Pure ZC (took a month... god damn, those forums are dumb!) at least so I can release my quest. Go ahead and email me at [email][email protected][/email] if you have someone to send my IP to, since I might not be able to get on here to see it.
I've sent the email, though note your IP is hardly secret and is known by every website you visit on the internet.
especially forums 😊 moderators and admin (sometimes only admin) can see what IP you posted with very easily since it is included in each of your posts in the top right corner.
Whatever they did, I can access without a proxy now. Yay

If you're still having problems submitting your quest here, feel free to PM me, if you like, with a template of how you want it to look on the main page, and I can sumbit it on your behalf. Strange that everything is working fine for us now but not you. That sucks man.
Um, how do I check my IP again? *sheepish*
Also, double-check that you still can't access the forums with your original IP; I've been getting "timed out" messages too (caused by our host sucking) but these clear up after ~10 mins.
69.131.29.120 And I'm still getting those messages. Although interestingly enough I can't view the comments pages on quests in the QDB any more because I get a page from the host place saying "We could not find that file."
Link to the broken comment page?
Also, what's the exact error message you get when you try to visit AGN/ZC?
http://zeldaclassic.armageddongames.net/javascript😛opUpcomments('viewquestcomment.php?quest=357'😉 , and it says "The connection has timed out The server at www.armageddongames.net is taking too long to respond."
...and now all of the sudden everythings fine...
...odd...
DarkDragon, I cannot access AGN without a proxy now. My IP is 67.159.47.202. I get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error message when I try to access AGN without a proxy.
I, too, cannot access AGN without a proxy anymore.
My IP is 207.119.226.161
There's nothing blocking you in .htaccess.
You're sure it wasn't a temporary site outage?
BigJoe was talking to me today and claims he can't get to the site.
You might want to start checking with your upstream providers; it sounds like someone's got some problems when it comes to directing traffic.
Okay, I should mention that my IP is actually 74.5.34.79. The one I gave earlier was through a proxy. Without a proxy, my IP is 74.5.34.79.
Still unable to access without a proxy, and in some cases when I can, I cannot send private messages. Regardless, browsing through a proxy is very slow and unenjoyable. 😞
