You're welcome, and thank you for your patience....

Quick Update Everyone

The Rooms are back up for the time being but there might be a short down time coming soon to correct a small error. I will be just brief when I do reset the chat if I have to do that. Either way thank you all for your patience again...this one was out of my hands. And to be honest really frustrated me to be in this situation in the first place. If this continues to happen, as I said I'll start looking at other options. This host has been really good for some time though so I am trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

There was a few amount of manual configurations I had to do....and had to locate the issues. Which is another reason for the small delay time frame and with the new IP address I had to wait for the DNS to settle too on my end before I could get my hands dirty on some of the areas that was required to edit.

Hey David ,
Just something I’ve been hearing from a lot of people I try to get to visit my room is that folks that once used to be able to access the site now can’t anymore . I’ve tried to have them enter other rooms to make sure it isn’t just my room . I wonder if this has anything to do with the unexpected reboots of the server ?

Hello,

No, that wouldn't be the issue in this case. It was something to do with the main provider and an issue on their end of things.

However anyone who is having issues getting on can send me an email with the following information

Chat Name :
Current IP Address :

Ip address can be found at www.whatismyip.com

if having trouble sending an email through the form they can directly too

Just so everyone is aware yes the chat server was rebooted again. I'm not so sure this is toward the hosting provider in this case just yet so I'm monitoring over a few things to see if I can track down the issue. Keep in mind everyone I'm working with a software that is nearly 25 years old and is no longer updated either. So there will be bugs as other things do get updated.
