Is funkypool.com down today? I've been trying all day to get onto it and I'm getting "The page cannot be displayed" with "Cannot find server" as the page title. I'd have posted this there but obviously I can't get on, so is there anyone else here on FS who can't get onto FP?

Working fine for me mate.

Hmmmm... then that's strange. I think I got on once and posted something, then had to do a restart or two but it ain't worked since.

Maybe they've given me an IP ban...?

Okay, I've restarted and it works now... strange...

How do you do that ping thing..?

Go to a command prompt and type ping "web address". Cant be counted on 100% either because some servers/networks will block ping requests at the firewall.
However both funkypool and funkysnooker allow ping requests.

Oooh right. Thanks mate

Emm... it's not working again..... I got the game window open but it's kicked me out again...

Looks like you will have to stay on snooker for a bit, you must be in dream world

No need to cry, snooker won't leave ya

Still nothing - I can't understand it. With no way to access the website, how can I make contact with the FP staff? I know there's staff common to both here and there... but still, what's the best way?

Aah God, someone answer me

Can you access the forums there?

No. Only once in a blue moon, and then only for about 2 mins. Then I can't access anything again.

Very strange. Id message an admin mate to check out your account over on pool. Otherwise Id clear out your temporary internet cache and retry.
