  2. This might sound silly, but you're using play.emc.gs ?

  4. Try using the ip proxy.emc.gs or just emc.gs

  5. I would suggest trying to flush your DNS. Providing you're on Windows, open up the Command Prompt and enter "ipconfig /flushdns". Hope that helps!

  6. smp2.empire.us isn't coming up as on for me... smp2.emc.gs is (but i've never used emc.gs) so it's kind of weird.

  7. actually i typed empire.us into the url and it didn't come up either... maybe he forgot to pay for the renewal? (or disabled the dns) ?

  8. The empire.us urls are down, and that means we can't use track.empire.us to report this bug hahaha

  10. just to update on what happened - I had moved the DNS off of the current provider to my own I use for everything else, as I'm about to migrate the site to the EMC infrastructure instead of where its currently at (Faster server, cheaper, inside the network so some things can be done more effeciently)

    but, I had a syntax error in the empire.us file that made the entire domain fail to have any DNS.

    But that's all fixed, but I recommend switching to smpX.emc.gs anyways - as thats now the "preferred" URL's, and one day we might drop empire.us since its purpose was to be shorter, and we have emc.gs for shortness.
