X-Scene BlackOut Posted by XanTium | March 26 16:30 EST | News Category: OffTopic

As you might or might not have noticed all X-Scene/Scenyx services were offline for the last 28h or so. Together with the help of some great people we did everything we could to restore normal operation as soon as possible. News posts will restore shortly. Njoy your stay and we'll do our best to avoid another outage like this.

welcome back

Thanks for the update, I was starting to get worried!

Click the ads to help X-S out

Done and should be done on a regular basis to help the scene.

phew!
I though xbox-scence was added to my works blacklist.

I was beginning to think the mighty MS had been naughty

Glad to see you back Any details about what happened?

Tell me where you work and I can have them add it to their list.

It definitely shocked me. I hadn't been on in awhile... then nothing.

I know the Scenyx name servers were unreachable effectively knocking the xbox-scene.com domain off of the internet.

As for the outage itself we'll have to wait and see if anyone lets us know if it was hardware / network related.

Welcome Back X-S!

Been hacked?

Anyway yeah Welcome back!
Keep Cool

Still a better track record than compared to XBL's downtime

Glad to see you back. I really missed my daily fill of "I bricked my Hitachi" posts.

Thought I was banned from the site for some reason.

Glad you're back! I was worried. Any ideas as to what caused the blackout?

yeah, i was shocked to see the main site go down. in the past i remember the forums going down but the main page staying up

Definitely!

I was missing my daily hit of X-S, I was having withdrawl symptoms. As far as Xbox news goes, this is definitely the place to watch!

certainly surprised me...

I got about a dozen emails asking me what happened... I don't know why people asked me, I still don't know what happened

i'm sure Xbox-scene will never let that happen again. I do not remember this place being off for that long. It's weird. The uptime is like 99.999% usually. Maybe the digital backbone that the ISP is connected to got attacked. Had to be physically cut. Construction in the area? Who knows. Maybe Chancer knows.

I overheard Chancer talking to Dave.......
