    BCG News:

    Host should be getting BCG back online soon, if all goes well it will be sometime during next week. It's looking virtually certain we will be coming back now at least!

    Deviloid News:

    It's looking like Deviloid is closing down permanently on March 31st and the owner is not renewing hosting from 1st April. If anyone however thinks they've got what it takes to run a private tracker then the owner (who I don't know BTW) is offering a suitable person the opportunity to take over and save the site, please see http://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/com..._end_of_march/ for more details. (Update: just found out that Deviloid is an XXX tracker, I didn't know, lol!)

    BCG just come back up, but maybe problems connecting for some that might need sorting.

    Update: Looks like we are back okay!

    Update 2: Some people having problems with IRC and tracker, but should be sorted soon.

    Update 3: IRC and site now okay, tracker needs sorting only now.

    Down again - more details soon....

    Update 4:

    Unfortunately we are down yet again because of another malicious DDoS botnet attack and this has made the host null route us yet again, obviously we are all extremely fed up with all this to say the very least. We were seriously considering other options when our host finally agreed to bring us back online instead for us only to be taken down again in less than a day. It looks like our IP address has been attacked directly and it could be stored in the config on an existing botnet hence why we keep getting attacked relentlessly every time we try to return. Thankfully our host is now looking at bringing us back online again with a new IP address as they agreed to change it around a month ago before we were suspended, assuming this happens okay we could be back soonish (but no definite ETA and work will be required on the site even after returning). I was quite surprised that the host brought us back anyway without a new IP address on this occasion and I knew there was higher chance of a repeat attack with the same IP address, but we hoped that after a month things would have finally calmed down as it's very rare for DDoS attacks to last anywhere near this long, sadly this wasn't the case. If the worst happens and even this doesn't work we have also been looking at other possible options to continue already and we still won't give up.

    Updates are also on our Twitter page directly from our owner and I would like to thank everyone for their replies of continual support that helps keep us positive and determined to continue through thick and thin.

    Update 5:

    Well we just seem to be cursed Our host was going to work on our server to get us back online again shortly as expected, but they couldn't get our server to respond and on further investigation at the datacenter itself our server has been found to be powered up, but not to be posting with no vga signal or operating system loading, repeated reboots has had no effect. We therefore now have a dead server, at this stage we don't know how serious the hardware fault is until it's investigated further. Unless the problem happens to be something simple this is obviously going to keep us offline longer than we'd hoped and the cost of a repair might not be feasible. This really couldn't have happened at a worse time. Options for moving forward will be discussed and I'll update when I have more information. It is still extremely likely we will return however, but now it's not so likely to be so soon.

    Update 6:

    2nd April - I'd just like to reassure our members that we are still here and the owner + staff including myself have definitely NOT given up on BCG despite all our rotten luck throughout the 1st quarter of 2014! It looks like we definitely need a new server however and if all goes to plan we hope to have a solution in place soon including extra measures to keep us online next time we return. Even after this is sorted work will be required to get everything installed and running smoothly on the new server. We will most probably be down for a little while yet, but assuming all goes well we will come back even better than before.

    GGn down for last 15 minutes, no IRC, tracker or website, reason unknown, but will hopefully be back soon.

    GGn now back, was only offline for just over an hour! (Wish I could say the same about BCG!)

    GGn down again for another 20 mins so far at the time of writing after only coming back for a short time, hopefully won't be long, but since I'm not staff there so I don't know what's happening. Going AFK so won't be here to update when it comes back immediately.

    GGn back up.

    PS: Cause of above downtime totaling around 2 hours, "unscheduled maintenance at the host datacenter".

    It works fine for me so I can only assume that your avatar is not degrading enough to women.
    I suggest you try one with a porn star or minimally Hayden Panettiere in short shorts.
    Respect my lack of authority.
