I have an account there bur rarely go to it. Gimpchat and MTG pretty much my gimp cravings. Nevertheless I'm glad things are looking better for Gimptalk, maybe it will help resolve some of their issues.

Now I can't get to GIMPTalk. A good day then followed by problems again. Let's just hope this is just another tweak to the system. OpenDNS reports these nameservers as the issue.

edit:

Just tried it again (8:30pm my time) and it's up again. Weird stuff. Ali is implementing some strong anti-spambot stuff which, though a little inconvenient, is long overdue.

I tried with Proxy and it times out the Proxy too...

Back running again guys

"Server not found"
"Firefox can't find the server at www.gimptalk.com.

www.gimp.org is down too, but at least my DNS knows an address for it.

Just checked and OpenDNS returned this. Oh well. They will eventually come back up ofnuts.

Thought I would open this one up since it is the official thread (devious I am; I know. lol). Still, my heart's out to GIMPTalk and still do occasionally post there. The more GIMP forums the better I say. Thought they finally got their act together, but still way too many hackers I suppose (maybe I'm wrong this time but I doubt it).

Just thinking about this has become mentally exhausting. And things were just starting to get back into their groove.

Liars and cheaters may be the biblical version of low-life degenerates, but in my world its spammers and hackers. There should be a very special level of hell just for them, that far exceeds the norm of imaginable torture for the others.

2 Days now

Huzah,

Yeah I was really hoping they could stay up, thats the one thing that really keeps me away from GIMP Talk, is that they always go down.

GIMPER did the same thing a few days ago....

Hopefully we are not next

Gimp Chat will be fine.

I don't know what's going on either, alas.

Willy I merged your post with an ongoing gimptalk discussion. I've also made the topic a sticky so that it is easily found.

Okay, I'll just revive this next time, thanks O
