Maintenance will begin at approximately 9pm Arizona time. To find the time in your timezone, see here: http://everytimezone.com/#2016-7-18,960,cn3 Or here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Sandlot+Maintenance&iso=20160718T21&p1=197 All servers except the lobby will be unavailable for an indeterminate amount of time. We are going to be testing a new chat system (which some of you may remember from before). As many of you probably recall, a long time ago we were having major headaches with a "Proxy Kick" error. This error was caused by the new chat plugin. Now that some time has passed and that plugin has had multiple updates, and we are on 1.8+ across all servers, and we support name changes, I am hoping that those Proxy Kick errors will no longer happen. The only way I can test this is to take all servers offline, have everyone chat spam (the only time where you aren't breaking the rule!) in the lobby and see what happens. If nobody gets kicked, I will bring other servers on one by one and we will test doing cross-server private messages. Eventually I will bring all servers online and we'll see how that goes. If we don't see any errors for an hour or two, then I'd say we're pretty safe. If we do still get Proxy Kicks, then it's back to the drawing board! Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Thanks for continually trying to improve the Sandlot for us. I'm looking forward to getting the new chat system back. Hopefully it works!
Woop WOOP! thanks c0w!!! That'll be fun/funny when everybody is spamming the chat in the lobby ... maybe cause a lot of lag, but worth it! D What's Proxy Kick? Is it a glitch, or a misunderstanding on the part of teh computer chat system? Or someting else? D
I pray, Rose, that you never find out. Proxy Kicks were where you would get kicked from the Sandlot with some error like "[Proxy] Lost connection to the server.". It could happen 5 times in 2 minutes or it could go for half a day without a single issue. It was very frustrating. :/ biz
It is so late where I live I want to spam the chat with MM is evil, MM is awesome, @trubuhl's dirty socks power!
Breaking rules! WOO! I mean yay! I can't wait to test... Thanks c0wg0d for the message! Hopefully I will be available to test.
Yeah thanks for all the hard word and effort you put into this server! And breaking the rules! Sounds fun.
Yay! I'm sure to have fun spamming! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA--*ahem* But I will save the spam for later. Anyways, thanks c0w!
Arizona does not observe daylight savings time. We don't ever switch our clocks here, which is why I have to look up timezones every single time I make a post like this. I wish the rest of America would get with the program and realize how ridiculous daylight savings time is...
I don't really like the spring daylight savings time because I "lose" an hour . I love the fall one because I "Gain" an hour .
Thanks c0w. You work endlessly and put so much effort in for a new version of the server every time maintenance is completed. We love you, you're such a great administrator!
