I tried to connect to the server last night, and it never showed up. I've got the direct connect on the shortcut, so I was wondering, is it the server or is it my computer?

Yep, she's down, but not out!
The server has had some problems recently, and Timoid has plans for upgrades that will fix the failing infrastructure. And he has said officially he's not going to shut down the server.
It has been down for long periods in the last few days; I don't know if he's working on it, or if it's just crashing. I do know that it will eventually be fixed.
I know some AFers also Play FLU (67.173.27.173) so if anyone wants to use that as a backup server, it might be a vialbe option.
That having been said, I also know that if AF is up, we should try to make that look as busy as possible. Busy feeds busy, and that's how to get it really hopping again.

Thanks for the information TBK, had me worried it was my computer for a while there.

I really hope that the new server will fix the / commands, like /ping and /frags. I miss checking how many kills I have on GraveDigger, I believe Riddler was my 2000th kill. ;D

I'm guessing some of the special features are turned off until the hardware gets fixed, but I could be wrong.
It's funny--now AF is up and FLU is down.
I've got a sabre in theta, with a lancer and a starkiller on it, and I'm going after the fugutives around Planet Pygar (Zoner's planet). It's cool picking off one or two of the gunboats, and then heading back with Sunslayer torps and CodeWeps. It's easer to go after the gunboats at the back of the formation. There are a lot of guns facing you if you go to the sides.
I just got a new comp, and I'm happy to see missiles tracking, even if I am alone on the server and the target is moving at a snails pace. ;D

Good to see your missiles are tracking better TBK. Pity it won't help in system battles when I'm up your behind the entire time.

Good to hear that you got your new comp TBK, maybe we can do some missions or trade runs in space

I logged into AF last night, and was running about 280 ping, which is about normal to me, so I'm assuming everything is up and running again...
