Via Rolf's Facebook:

For no apparent reason, my provider gave me a different IP address, so bots2.net is 'offline' for the time being. I'm trying to find out what's going on.

Will post more news as becomes available.

Update from flor:

I have no idea. I called my provider (they suddenly changed my IP address) and they are not going to fix anything, since I can access internet so it's not 'broken'. I've escalated the issue and now I'm waiting.

(He has no idea about how long it will be down)

My internet provider was unable to give me back my old IP, so I have updated all configs and stuff to reflect the new IP. Just waiting for the DNS to update. Everything should be fine soon™.

Some people are saying on IRC that they are able to get on now, so if you're unable to, it's just a matter of time before the DNS records around the world are updated.

Both servers down for all day long...
And I don't remember the time when both servers would be down at the same time... Is this the end of bots? :/

Lol, ironic, but today is Rapture's 5th B-Day...

Not sure if this helps shed some light on the problem but just before it went down, every single bot name on the fight lists, online etc changed to 'Mr Black'. I then proceeded to log out but could not get back in as it was not recognising the username/pw. Did there used to be someone who used the alias Mr Black perhaps? *shrug*

Any word from the great man himself yet as to whether it's a server error or a malicious attack?
