Cloudflare Connection Error

[Haku]

I've been receiving the following error occasionally when I'm browsing the site. I'm assuming it's only happening to users close to my location, because I have yet to see anyone else mention it. This has been happening for about 4-5 days now.

Code: Select all

Server Error! Sorry. We failed to connect you with the NationStates Metaverse.

This may be caused by temporary technical problems, bugs, or widespread political revolution.

Cloudflare is a major hosting service, and someone else they host has apparently made some enemies who like to DDoS their service. We sometimes catch the fringe of those attacks. It's not something we can fix in our own code, and you can be certain that Cloudflare is aware of (and combating) the attacks. In the meantime, just try again in a few seconds.

Welcome to the new Internet, still filled with the same jerks and asses as the old Internet, but with more tools at their disposal.
