ngworldstats.com is owned by Microsoft now. Maybe they're doing something with it, and that's why it's down?

They should put in measures to eliminated blatant cheating. I hate those fags from ]jau[ that %$$%$ with aimbots and jack their scores sky-high. Maybe thats why they're down.

The DNS is hosed. If you do an nslookup on any of the ngworldstats pages, you get nothing.

This can be one of the following:
- MS pulled ngworldstats completely
- MS botched the DNS REALLY bad
- MS is moving the servers to a new location and did a very bad job of updating the DNS accordingly

Anyway, they are down, and I have over 50 megs of log files waiting to be processed since 9am EST Dec 23rd.

Its a damn shame too, cuz my server was ranked #1 for the past 3 weeks in a row. :(

I've starred out the email addresses 'cos I know some people will start spamming Ms. Gudmundson asking when the stats will be back, even though she's got nothing to do with them :)

(And no, I don't know her :) )
