Quick Question: CDKeys with letters in them

[UserLoser]

Ringo -- Good news. 0x0B works like a charm. I just logged into BNET without a problem. Thanks.

BTW have you considered hosting BNLS permanently since Skywing's BNLS doesn't exactly have an excellent record of uptime? Or at the very least, let Hdx host it?

To make it easier for people to remember, and as my thanks for your being willing to host BNLS, even if you intend to keep it temporarily, I've set up the following address:

bnls.dementedminds.net

To redirect to your bnls server. The redirection is permanent. Thanks.

BNLS has always been up with excellent uptime.  The past couple of days is the first time in several years that I can remember where it wasn't running.

That's strange, I can remember it going down a couple of times in the past year. A few of those times were for a day or two. This time is the longest that it has stayed down. A server that had 99.9% uptime would be good. ;p

[Don Cullen]

his ip is not static though

What makes you say that?

[Edit] Damn, sorry abt the double post.

[Hdx]

I can remember several times throught out the last year they BNLS has been down for spans of 12hrs-5days
I can remember them because every dammen time I'd get like 50,000,000,000....... nubs asking me to fix there bots.

50 billion? Surely you jest.

because I know

[Don Cullen]

Yeah, Ringo confirmed it in the other post.

Take the number of idiots with bots, multiply it by the number of minutes in an hour, divide by 5, and multiply that by the number of hours BNLS is down. Then cut that number in half. The total is half the bot user population, whining every 5 minutes that their bot is broken. Not always to the same person. Then add the number of bots out there divided by three to that total (to count the bot writers who think something's wrong with their bot). The equation becomes

Code Select Expand

IdiotCount * 60 / 5 * BNLSDown / 2 + BotCount / 3

The question is, there are like... 8 BNLS IPs.... do they all go to the same server/cluster? It seems like they're all down every time something goes wrong. They should be individually separated somehow... though that makes updating them harder, it also allows for testing one server and then upgrading the rest (like BNet does).

[Hdx]

From what I have been told, they all point to the same box, the reason they have multiple ips is because sometimes a spacific gateway goes down, not the server itself.
IIRC the server is hosted on a box in sky's basement, right next to the bed where him and Yoni like to make love!

And yes that was exageration, but seriously I get thousands of complaints a day

[Barabajagal]

In that case, I'd recommends putting google ads on the forums, getting enough money for a second server, and using one as a failsafe.

Edit: Also, I'd recommend moving the server away from the bed. Half the downtimes are probably cause it gets knocked over!

Hmm I disagree.  In the past years there have been DDoS attacks multiple times, the domains have gone though several changes and at times the domain bnls.valhallalegends.com was no good, but the server was still up~  This was discussed already too that it wasn't actually down, just unreachable (not BNLS's fault for that)

BNLS is not running.  Someone needs to start it

I think I found your request:

0x1A Failed CR lockdown-IX86-12.mpq Starcraft Hash - 8B 60 01 44 93 69 49 46 67 9F A1 5E 24 A2 18 69

But It looks flawless.. even tho it failed to find a match on the hash.
Are you useing 0x06, 0x07 by any chance?
Im kinda out of ideas im guessing it maybe a hash I dont currently have for lockdown 12, so if this is the case, it should work if you switch to a differnt bnet server ip. If not a few connects should get through, other than that im out of ideas.

[rabbit]

I've tried the all the realms on a whole bunch of different IP's, but my 0x1a result is always "failed".

And BNCS/BNLS packets 0x06, 0x07?  I don't use any of them.
