FIBS Board backgammon forum
First Internet Backgammon Server (FIBS) => F.I.B.S. general support => Topic started by: paulie on February 24, 2014, 03:49:18 AM
Sunday night, I was not able to connect to the FIBS server using either Fibszilla or JavaFibs. Ping returned nothing. nslookup also returned nothing. I could connect to any of the other sites I tried. So I am at a loss as to what is happening. As of this moment, I cannot get to fibs.com, either the website or the game server.
The place to go to see if FIBS is truly down is here: https://twitter.com/fibsdotcom Patti posts there when FIBS is down.

Paulie,
You tried all the right geek things to see what of FIBS was working.
This time it was a DNS problem so the lights were on but no body could visit (connect)
But as socksey pointed out Patti does announce up and down notices on Twitter as she finds out.
So it is a good idea to Follow @FIBSDOTCOM

includes Patti's twitter link btw

Cool... but the first icon times out and never gets displayed

fortunately the icon for server down does work -- so assume all is ok if no red exclamation mark
