SimPE site?

.de names probably aren't recognized by that DB. Plus you're checking a third-level domain. "ambertation.de" itself reports registered and operational.

A quick port-probe and banner-check reveals that the ambertation server is responding and operating normally on all other ports (and acknowledging status as ambertation), but that httpd is down. This happens from time to time, as apache is a piece of shit.

Conclusion: They crashed. This will be fixed whenever someone notices, but does not represent a significant cause for concern at this time.

I decided to leave it 24hrs in case he noticed himself, but at this stage I will see if I can dig out his email address...

Though apart from the GUID database I really wouldn't have minded the excuse to transfer support to a forum that actually has some features - such as "split thread" etc.

ROTFL!  Thanks kiki!  XD

Pescado assures me that even if the GUID database were to permanently crash and burn, the likelihood of GUID conflicts with just randomly-chosen numbers would be pretty infinitesemal, so I guess I won't panic.  Still, it'd be a shame to lose it...

Inge:
Quaxi received his email and has got the site up again :)

I still don't like the idea of random GUIDs - no point in doing it a potentially clashy way when there is a way of avoiding the clashes in the first place!   The simplest way to have restarted a GUID registry would be a "postal" service attached to a forum thread, where a person who wants a block posts and they get a block by reply.   A record of the highest block allocated is simply stored somewhere.  There is no need to record GUIDs by creator.   The creators have to keep their own internal count of GUIDs used up.  That's how I do it.

We'd simply start at the next major number - which I believe is 1!  I think we're still on the zeroes.
