Can't Get Back on GCCG

[Gwaihir]

I was in the middle of a game when the battery on my computer died (didn't realize I was unplugged) and now I cant get back into GCCG.  Every time I try to connect, the connection fails.  Anyone know what I can do to get back on?

Try this: Make a backup copy of the directory C:\.gccg. Then, delete everything in the original directory except the files username and password.

weird, same thing is happening to me...

:EDIT:
@Kralik: Just tried it, doesn't work.

Is anyone on GccG?

[Gwaihir]

how do i make a backup?

[Kralik]

On second thought, I think the GCCG server is having issues. This happened the other day... people who were in, stayed in, but nobody else could get on. So I just quit out and... guess what? Doesn't work. I guess we can wait it out?

Tried what you said.  Now the folder has the files again.  I guess when I tried to get back on, they reloaded or something.  Is there a way to get it back to the way it was originally?  If I delete all the new stuff, then copy the old stuff back, will that make a problem?

[Kralik]

No, it won't be a problem. But are you able to get in now?

EDIT: Nope, still seems down.

[Gwaihir]

No, still can't get back on, can you?

 hey guys......Every time I try to connect, the connection fails.

[legolas3333]

we think the server is down

[Kralik]

Open up command prompt and type:

ping gccg.servebeer.com

If no response, the server is down.

[Alkarin]

no response...

[Kralik]

The system ... is down. The system ... is down. The system ... is down.

Down down down down...

(interlude)

Boom! It's down.

[Kralik]

Here's something to keep you amused while waiting...
