Where is OGS??

Since we now have a place to talk about turn based servers, I will start us off with the question that got this forum created: What's happened to OGS, and when will it be back?

Now I get a different message when I try to access the site:

Could not connect to DB: Too many connections

instead of:

Bonjour,
Un problème technique sur un de nos serveurs nous oblige à bloquer tous les sites.
Revenez plus tard.
Désolé pour le désagrément,

Alas, OGS seems to have gone away again as of a few hours ago. One hopes its masters are aware of this.

Glad it's not just me, then. Is definitely offline from Australia.

Indeed

I'm afraid I have no idea why, and haven't managed to get hold of Damien...

It was renamed: the Offline Go Server.

This is the longest that I can remember it going down without some kind of information. Sad day.

It is up now, but most of my games timed out so I hope they are still working on it.

Yes... back online now, but hopefully the admins will adjust the clocks. One of my opponents timed out -- I won't claim the win, of course. That was a long one, I must say. Probably worse because it started on a Friday.

Edit: I wistfully recall a time when topazg was a lowly Kyu player and spent his time keeping OGS alive and well.... Extended down times never happened back in those days.

I should not read this in library. Almost burst into laugh loudly :twisted:

How do you not claim the win?

Well, the OGS admin has already added time to clocks and restarted the timed out games, so I can't confirm this, but: As I recall, when a player times out, the OGS system waits for the other player to claim the win. (I'm a bit uncertain because I think maybe this doesn't apply to tournament games.) Anyway, this allows the "winning" player to use judgment about the timeout -- maybe the timed out player has always been very prompt, so you think something may be preventing him/her from getting online.

In this case, I saw in my games list that my opponent's remaining time was "Timed out". But it was still in the game list, not removed, as it would have been if I won. So, I left it there, given the 3-day down time.
