ATS CHATROOM - Anyone Else Having Dramas With It Atm ? [FIXED... or not]

a reply to: The Utopian Penguin

messages i was trying to send were not going through, so i assumed ping time out. When I tried to refresh the window it gave me the 'unknown error' with the log in promt.

Havn't been able to get back in since.

Well i'm going to hang out for 5 more minutes and call it a night.

Chat will most likely be restored by noon'ish

bye.

I can't get on, I can't get on, I can't get on...

I still... can't?

The chat room is still broken,oh no what will I do...

Since chat is broken, we're ALL gonna have to go sit other there.

Pfft !

You say that everytime !

As moderation staff thought it better to close the thread that I have just written I would like to re-write what I have found about chat here... I KNOW that chat is down and has been explained, but would like to also point out this peculiar issue :


I have seen something extremely strange when trying to log onto chat over here in France.

Now Chat is asking for my pseudonym and password???? (AND IN FRENCH TOO???)... has chat been hacked?

This has never happened before... normally you get straight into chat as are already logged in with pseudo and password?

Strange that now ATS has decided to communicate in French too?

Is this just a technical glitch or has chat been hacked? (so to speak)

Kindest respects

Everyones got jokes, but that one made me cringe and chuckle at the same time.

Went through the /_chat.php source tried modifying the href pointer with different strings, tried taking out hashed pass and inputing clear, tried going through the 123flashchat behind.js, went through 123flashchat cache.js, also scanned and ping tested the 123flashchat hosts and subdomains to make sure they were still up, again. I don't know what the issue is **shrugs** It's clear that they probably were not getting hit with a DDoS as SkepticOverlord mentioned they had reported.

What it looks like (imo) is that somehwere along the way 123flashchat is unable to locate or confirm init_user=User_Name_Here&init_password=Hashed_Password_Here. Which I assume (possibly incorrectly) is stored on a MySQL or PostgreSQL type DB somewhere.

People see "Anon" in a nick name and panties get all twisted up. What have you done to help? at least I give a damn enough to try and help the staff a bit. Because I try to have some fun while doing so doesn't mean i'm just sitting back and complaining. So, now, what was a board business issue is now relegated to the off topic forum. Well done.

If i sound frustrated it's because i am. ATS is a long time favorite corner of the internet for me. I enjoy the chat, the boards, the mod team, all of it. If there was more that I could do to help, i would. But unless the bossman suddenly changes his views of IRC chats, or 123flashchat suddenly decides to not suck, I'm pretty much sidelined for the rest of the game.

/end butthurt rant. the propper butthurt forms have been filled out and submitted. Oitment has been applied to the butthurt. Beer has been opened.

THIS IS SUPER FRUSTRATING.

I've even tried opening a new ticket with 123FlashChat. Nothing. Silence.
