Why was it gone?

I don't know why it went down but the reason it stayed down was most probably that thibault was on vacation with limited internet access.

do you guys need some technical help to keep the server up all time ?

e2e2 Sep 2, 2012 10:37 AM #10

так почему сайт был закрыт?

It wasn't a ddos, the other site using this IP was up. (also the error that was given was HTTP 500.)

hello all,

The server went down while I was having fun in Iceland, far from an Internet connection. lichesss was unreachable for 5 days, then I restarted it.

Ou, how was Iceland? Was it all ice or green? :P

so is this http://lestroiscouronnes.esmeree.fr/ on the same server or are you renting something?

Guess only mb would know about that kind of stuff XD.
