newStage gone?
Does anyone know what happened to newStage? It's been down for a while now.

They blocked non-Japanese IPs.

They also blocked the Amazon EC2 Japan IP range, making an easy proxy more difficult.

Re: newStage gone?
Do they just not want BAKA GAIJIN playing their games, or is there some other reasoning behind it?

Re: newStage gone?
They're linking to projects being posted here, but banning non-Japanese IPs? That's really, REALLY shitty.

Re: newStage gone?
I swear to god, it worked just a few hours ago.
Yeah, they are definitely aware of us but don't seem to give fuck. I wonder if they have an account here...BareKnuckleRoo wrote: They're linking to projects being posted here, but banning non-Japanese IPs? That's really, REALLY shitty.

The owner of the site said he didn't change anything but talked about htaccess blocking baiduspider.
Re: newStage gone?
Kind of tiresome. I'm tempted to block them clicking through to here via referrer fields, redirect to a message explaining why.

Yeah it was definitely working earlier. Seems hard to believe they didn't see this thread then block it.

Re: newStage gone?
Do it. If the IP blocking is intentional, fuck 'em. If for whatever reason it's unintentional and they're seriously unaware of us being able to access it due to the 403 errors, it'll at least be a way of getting them aware of it.system11 wrote:Kind of tiresome.

Re: newStage gone?
I can still access it right now. I think this is an internet snafu and not intentional.

I'm still getting 403 Forbidden. :/
Re: newStage gone?
I'm actually getting a 404 Not Found error now.
EDIT: 403 Forbidden now.

Re: newStage gone?
Checked an hour or so out of curiosity and it worked for me. Now I'm getting a 403 error.

Can confirm. It's on their bbs.ARCADIA wrote:The owner of the site said he didn't change anything but talked about htaccess blocking baiduspider.
I don't think this is intentional either. Someone who can access the site should definitely mention there's still an issue on their bbs.Squire Grooktook wrote:I can still access it right now. I think this is an internet snafu and not intentional.

Down for me, so it's definitely not a Japanese IP thing.

Weird. It's coming up fine for me.
Re: newStage gone?
I checked their bbs earlier today, and looking over the recent messages posted, it seems like it's an issue with their web hosting that blocks overseas traffic - the owner did not block foreign traffic intentionally, nor was he aware that foreign traffic was being blocked. He also apologized to the shmups forum (to this thread specifically), but he presently can't do anything about it.
The RSS feed (http://stg.liarsoft.org/rss.xml) seems to be entirely uninfluenced, although if the IP blocking is active, none of the links will redirect properly - but at least the RSS feed itself will still be accessible.

Re: newStage gone?
Worked for me before, didn't work yesterday, now works again.
They must be having some problems and that's it.
EDIT: Thanks Elixir!

Thanks Elixier! I'm glad it wasn't intentional. Currently the site works for me again. Let's hope it stays that way.Elixir wrote:I checked their bbs earlier today, and looking over the recent messages posted, it seems like it's an issue with their web hosting that blocks overseas traffic - the owner did not block foreign traffic intentionally, nor was he aware that foreign traffic was being blocked.

Re: newStage gone?
Kind of a belated update, but newStage is no longer displaying 403 forbidden on my own end. I also checked with a friend, and it isn't displaying forbidden on his end either.
