DNS Problems

I hadn't seen any kind of post on this, so I figured for the sake of everyone who might be having trouble accessing the wc3campaigns website, I would post this up.

I have had problems accessing this site for the past couple of days in that the site would load about one out of every ten refreshes or so..sometimes more. After a little tinkering and suspicion on what was going on, I figured that I would try to access the website via its direct ip address, in case there were problems with the DNS.

Low and behold, I have (and am) accessed the site without any problems what so ever by typing in the following URL (instead of wc3campaigns.net)

http://66.166.149.149/

This should work perfectly for anyone who's having similiar problems as me..although, I'm not entirely sure how you're going to get to this message :P

I guess making this post was a good idea, this way everybody who is able to access the site will be able to know how to access the site.

Well, even though my url based access was blocked for a majority of the time, there were small windows of time where it would lead me into the site (enough that I would've been able to check the general forum for a solution [ which I did..and there wasn't ] ).

... Well that was random.

Anyways, for the past week or so, I've been stumped as to how to get back to Wc3C. Of course, that was until I noticed that the admin gave all active members an e-mail... About a week ago. Ahahah...

*tries the link*

Cool! It works.

For this week, there might be issues with the domain which result in
some users getting "server not found" when they try to access
wc3campaigns.net.

If you are experiencing these issues you can use the provisional
address http://hilton.gw.oiccam.com to access the site. I ask of a favor
though and it is to not link to that address in public discussions, for
search indexing's sake.

By the way, I did get it twice. I assumed that everyone got an e-mail, but I guess not...
