Looks like Manafont maintenance started early!

Maybe we'll get to see the BLF tank E07 sooner too!

Keeping fingers crossed and PP ready.

OOPS! - A team of highly trained wizards has been dispatched to deal with this Website Maintenance.
Manafont will be back 100% very soon.
For any urgent matter during this maintenance, plesae contact us at manafont.temp@gmail.com

I like their style, and using an external temp email address is a good idea.

Still not as cool as dinodirects "guru meditation" messages. :)

Almost a week early? Certainly the, "OOps", doesn't sound like this is the planned maintenance.

4

They got my order out just in time :)

5

I hope mine goes through. It was rather large.

6

They are back!

7

not quite.

8

D*mn! I was just about to place an order... Hope they'll be back up soon again.

Works for me, spambot (18:35). Check it again.

10

Works for me but no E07 yet.

11

Strange, cause I'm still getting the maintenance/wizard screen : (

Edit 1: Great! I can access manafont just fine via proxy but if I try accessing it directly I get the maintenance page, odd...

Edit 2: It looks like manafont hast two servers, and this one: http://ns2.manafont.com is up...

12

Or your PC is just displaying a locally cached page on your own hard-drive.

13

No, cause there are two certain new arrivals there. (wouldn't be in my *outdated* cached version if that was the case)

Edit 1: I can also access pages that I've never accessed before on manafont, so unless my browser has cached the entire site in advance that would not be possible.

Edit 2: made a temporary workaround by rerouting "www.manafont.com" to the ip I got when I pinged ns2.manafont.com, now perhaps I can place an order?

14

NS1 and NS2 are name servers for DNS - not the web servers themselves.

15

Might be so, I am not knowledgeable in that area. I simply rerouted "www.manafont.com" to the ip I got when I pinged "ns2.manafont.com" and suddenly I could access manafont again.

16

ns1.manafont.com is directing correctly too. So if you still can't get to MF simply via Manafont.com then the only place you could be getting the "OOps" page from is your own hard-drive.

17

The order I placed during the redirect is still there. So yeah, Success! xD

Whatever was wrong before is fixed and www.manafont.com now works as it should. Wonder what was wrong, any ideas?

Edit 1: and now it sadly no longer works... again, lol

Edit 2: and now it works again, but for how long?

18

Weird.

19

Yes, and it affects both ie, ff and chrome at the same time...

At least my order got through : )

NS1 and NS2 are name servers for DNS - not the web servers themselves.

They can be/often are the same machine/ip, which is why it worked. Both of their NS are now same IP, which implies they don't really know what they're doing and just plugging in random values in a console somewhere until it works.
