Sounds like a personal problem. Get some Cialis and it will stay up when you need it. It's never been a problem for me, but I'm not judging, I know these things can happen with older hardware.
haha Good one xD
It wouldn't be a hardware issue, that was just part of his joke, but 99% of the time in a situation like this it is a local issue. If it wasn't a local issue, everyone would be affected. Diagnosing these kinds of issues sucks, so...sucks to thou who art affected.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Well, it could be his router. Or his wireless adapter. Or the wiring in his walls. Or the network equipment at his internet service provider's building.
That last one is probably the most likely. But the first two are a lot easier to test and to do something about if they're the problem.

...except that only RMN was ever affect for me. Other sites and internet access were not affected. (And seeing as how I work in an office that depends on network and internet access, someone would have piped up about internet issues!).
It started happening for me around the same time that that story about thunderstorms in the NE of the USA that took out a ton of server farms and took down Pinterest and Amazon something or other a couple weeks ago.

Guess the tubes are just clogged somewhere between you and the pot of rmn noodles.
author=kentonayou should check out with the server if there a problems (that usually solve it) and if rmn servers is under a server provider you should also contact them for assistant. and do you have weekly/monthly maintenance? this usually solve the servers problems.

I asked the server. He said he was doing just fine. Maybe he doesn't like server maintenance and was lying?
I'll dig into it further.
I'll dig into it further.
This *just* happened to me. I can safely say it has nothing to do with the server. It is a DNS issue. Maybe I will look at moving our DNS locally (this will cause downtime).
A DNS server that you use or your ISP uses has lost contact with one of the DNS servers it uses (or perhaps one of the root DNS servers) and can't lookup rpgmaker.net to find out where it should go. Or maybe it couldn't contact the Nameservers.
I'm not sure if moving the DNS locally will even help, but it's worth a try.

It just happened to me 10 mins ago, and again RMN's server was up but I couldn't connect. A few refreshes finally got to it.
So it means rpgmaker.net's DNS server is having problems (which could they be?) or that it's under attack?
Some other things that could help diagnose the problem:
When this happens to you, run nslookup/dig and tracert/traceroute then post your results here.
In Windows, go to a command prompt and type nslookup rpgmaker.net and tracert rpgmaker.net
In Mac OS X or Linux, go to a terminal session and type dig rpgmaker.net and traceroute rpgmaker.net

Just happened. Lasted at least twenty minutes for me, and I couldn't connect on my cell phone either. About halfway through it did actually let me on for a few seconds, after taking a full minute to connect. Let me open this thread, and submit this post, but if I open another tab and try to connect again, it fails. As long as I stay within this tab that's already on the site, it seems to be fine.
I considered running tracert from my phone but decided that by the time I figured out how the site would be back up.

So, turns out this actually probably wasn't a DNS issue and is probably related to problems at the datacenter where our server is hosted. I'll try to see if I can find out more about today's outage as well as the ongoing issues we have been having.
I couldn't connect for quite a while just then, here's what I've got :

Twice today I got the error that says something along the lines of "Oops, there was a problem. We are probably aware". I hit reload and it loaded the page. Not sure if it's related.

No, not related at all. That is a different error.
