I can't ping it either, but it is resolving to 71.98.33.94. Another weird thing. If I type in www.arcanesystems.com, I can't hit your site. BUT, if I type in arcanesystems.com it comes up. It could just be that I'm at work though.

EDIT

Oh yeah, your site looks really good. I might hit you up for some pointers on getting the dynamic DNS working. I'm running Fedora 7.

Wierd. I can get it with www.arcanesystems.com. Also, I don't know how much help I'd be with dynamic DNS, because my IP hasn't changed since I started this in July . I'm pretty sure it's never changed. For all I know, the FreeDNS service is doing nothing except slowing it down .

I still wish I knew why I can't ping mail.arcanesystems.com. I have a CNAME entry called "mail" pointing to "mail.arcanesystems.com" and an A entry called "mail" pointing to my IP. Isn't that how you do it? Have a CNAME point to an A? If not, that could be the reason. My MX Record is still fine... Speaking of which, what should any others be? 1 isn't very smart... Just like mail2.arcanesystems.com?

Alright guys, so I gave in and got a paid-for account. I'm way to busy with life right now to work on this, and for $35, I got a year of service, 10 accounts, a gig of space each, spam protection, and 24/7 support. That being said...

IT'S LIVE! From this point on, you can register, post, and browse to your hearts content. And I urge you do so .

Also, if you do decide to join, give the registration email a little time. It wasn't immediate for my test user, so I doubt it'll be immediate for you.


Edit: Also, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me at maleficus at arcanesystems.com. I'll try to help you on any Linux/tech/modding questions you have. That's the point of the site .

Man CrazyB, sounds like a nice package. For $3 a month, I'm happy with the email plan I got though. If only I could get fscking Thunderbird to work with it...
