For a while now I'm seeing my connection to LG fail a lot. But only briefly. E.g., I'll try to send a move, or visit a forum, or view a game, and it will fail the first time but then be fine the second try. Anybody else seeing this?

I see this a lot as well.  I remember reading in the forum that connecting to the server from America encountered more failures than connecting from Europe.  I don't know whether that's true, though.

Hmmm. I wonder if others can confirm this.

Still, it seems like something relatively new to me. When I watch Wanderer run I used to see it go flawless for days. Now every 10 or 15 minutes it dies (I'm assuming because of a connection error) and then has to start up again.

Same here, from the bay area. It's been going on like this for at least a week.

complete stable on my side (germany)

Same thing sometimes happens here in Russia. I thought something was wrong with my computer.

I've been having trouble too (Bay area, just like @z).

Suddenly, at 0.40 pm (Paris time), some java nullscript error appeared, as I was playing a Hex move. Then I discover that I was playing 0 games !  But the connection is ok.

Some other parts of the site became also unvisible (for instance the item “others question” in the FAQ page !)

DId you encounter similar thinks?

How can I call an administrator ?

Same here - already for one hour or so. Seems like something is broken somewhere - usually it is up and running again within 24 hours…. It is a free server for us - so we should not complain too much I guess….;-)

Another symptom:

On the home page, the number of players and number of games are both zero.

Richard must have added new code to detect cheaters and terminate their games.  It turns out that everyone was a bot.  Even me!  I never knew!

We should all look to our ways. Repent sinners!
