Mess.be's 4th birthday is approaching!
dwergs says:
   

Tomorrow on September 27th 2005 Mess.be will be 4 years old! We have planned a couple of cool surprises for our visitors, so make sure you're around on Tuesday. One wonderful birthday present that hundreds of thousands of you are gonna love, will even come one day early... meaning TODAY!

I'm not gonna spill the beans just yet, but try to visit Mess.be regularly this day if you want to be the first to [censored]...

Yes, i also get a popup containing: "1"
And i got popup blocker on

i only got it once thought and i keep refreashing the page

Mess.be usually have a pop-up ad that appears only once a day. This is so you don't get annoyed by an ad each time, so refreshing will not make it appear until 24 hours. It seems that the ad is malfunctioning and giving an error. I noticed the '1' alert, I also noticed it on another site that has ads. Maybe they need to fix the pop-up ad.

its not the pop up ad, because we have our blockers on, so they never open...

That has been getting reported on the forums quite a bit recently. I don't know whats up with it, but tommorrow there will be a new site launched and hopwfully it will be fixed. And before people ask for previews, the staff doesn't even have a sneak peak yet .

Remember XxRebelSeanxX is a mess.be moderator

Not just because I'm a moderator. Take a look at this:

http://forum.mess.be/index.php?showtopic=11963

Not to mention, it -was- in a newspost apparently, which I missed . I'm still on my regular phone line, my internet line has been cut in half so I haven't been able to be online alot.

yeah well Zero1 has now discounted the possibility of the new site today.

Wait till tommorrow, lets just say something got sent.

Edit: Blah, your  right. No new design. Bloody Zero1.

mess.be isn't loading for me

Yeah the server has gone down again for the 3rd time in the last few hours.....maybe they are updating something, or could be just the strains placed on it beacuse of the early msgplus  release....

mess.be is just a big
404
right now...

Zero1 told me earlier, the download is raping the servers. I'll try to get ahold of Phil, the server admin, to see if he can get things back up.

lol, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to release plus on the mess.be servers a day early

Any link to a mirror of the mess.be version?

im sure its a new design. the server failure is just a cover up
crap i cant even get to my source

A server failure for nearly 6 hours? The servers must have really been stuffed with the MsgPlus downloads

well dwergs.com should be hosted on the same server and its up so im guessing its all a big cover up

forum is down too......If it is a cover there is no reason the forum should be down......unless.....
they could be updating to the newer IPB version?

haha, maybe there just doing this to make you think there gonna update everything, and then they just do nothing...  It sounds like something they'd do

Somebody wake up Phil

Ok guys, I have some new information. It isnt a coverup, I know that much. I think DNS has died or something.

any idea when its gonna be back up?

Its back now

just found out what another thing is going to be (besides the w2m invites)

what do you make of the teaser?

Posted by timothy
A new era of custom msn messenger content has just seen the light as Mess.be’s next birthday present to you all. Don’t settle for pre-made content anymore, because with this special CustoMess update you decide the flavor. With a whopping amount of 44.800 possible custom backgrounds it instantly holds the record of most backgrounds stuffed in a 45.5kb of application. But if you think 44.800 is a big number, just wait for CustoMess 2.5’s full release featuring Avatar- , Emoticon- , Background-, Display picture and font creators.

What do you have to do to get access to this brand new section? Nothing really, just start up your CustoMess RC2 client, and the new version will load instantly, click the “Mess Birthday Special” picture for instant backgrounds!

haha the sites down again, so is the forums

There was a MYSQL error just before it crashed.

some birthday, this is the third time that its been down in the last couple of days

well all these special things (Web2Messenger invites, Early pLus release, and Customess 2.5) are putting a very unusually high strain on the servers. Its to be expected...

We need birthday bashes! not crashes!

Man I have never seen Mess.be crash like that within days.

niether, isnt there still another lot of web2msn invites left aswell? i only have alerts for 3, didn't they say there was 4?

theres 50 left. 100-200 have already gone. (i got one )

lucky you, i left the computer for about 10 minutes, in that 10 minutes the first batch was released, and all taken

you know what i think about mess.be? i hate it i got 7 viruses from it...

Your hate results from ignorance.

Mess.be does not engage in such activities.

Well, not to be by hatin on Mess.be or anything, it was kinda ignorant to think that all there servers could hold an huge additional strain as such a program as Msgplus. The servers are already riding at maximum capacity as it is without such an exclusive, then to not have any mirror list is kinda stupid.

But, I'm sure things will start to return to normal seeing as though Msgplus! 3.60 has officialy been released.

still crashed

PLUS like 80% of the downloads dont work

even if it was on the servers all the traffic to the website deffinatecaused troubles, i just checked mess.be and its not loading again, what a birthday

we could be reading this all rong, dwergs might've just unplugged the server and be having a few drinks in a bar somewhere with it

Even if Plus was on the Mess servers, that's not why it's down. It's the DNS that keeps crapping out.

So its still accessible  with the server's ip address?
