Saru Posted February 24, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Unfortunately looks like the "Red Hot Pawn" site will be down for up to 24 hours starting tomorrow evening, the following message was issued on their site: Due to some recent technical issues, a site outage will be occurring on Friday (20:30 GMT) for up to 24 hours. During this time you will not be able to access this site. As a result, game timeouts will be suspended for the duration of the entire weekend. Hope that doesn't mess up the UM chess matches too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnSide Posted February 24, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2005 As long as the chess matches stay there and don't get wiped out, i'm okay waiting 24 hours to continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted February 24, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted February 24, 2005 The matches won't get wiped out, so it should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfstone810 Posted February 26, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2005 It's 3 AM Saturday morning here. Is the site still down, anyone know? Before I was getting the site, but getting a message that it was down, but now all I can get is a "cannot find server" page. Oh, well. I can claim that I lasted for days in the two practice games I'm playing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted February 26, 2005 Author #5 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Yeah i'm still getting 'Cannot find server', so they must still be at it. It should be working again later on today hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted February 27, 2005 #12 Share Posted February 27, 2005 2.28 AM - Maybe not long to wait, I'm now getting this 'We will be live again shortly. Thank you for your continued patience.' as opposed to 'The page cannot be displayed' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnSide Posted February 27, 2005 #13 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Well, the fact that they took the time to make something to say they'll be back soon, probably suggests we have a long wait in store. Otherwise, why bother right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted February 27, 2005 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Talon...would you care to match wits with me? Sure, on PHP, Practice or Official? Although I'm currently playing 6 people, I think thats the max amount of matches you can play, so you may have to wait until I finish one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Practise might be good for a start since I haven't played in many years. Whenever you are finished let me know. Chess is after all a game of patience.

Thistle Posted February 27, 2005 #19 Share Posted February 27, 2005 well........saru is picking on me ( he threatened to de-mod me unless I let him him win......cos he's a bully like that ) so I'll have a spare game going very shortly if anyone fancies it. P.S.....it's all true about saru, don't let him try to tell you he won fair and square or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
