perhaps that happened to us, we played for around 20mins this afternoon, now none of us can connect. i was joining and dropping a number of time because i was tweaking graphics settings.
and if so could we be unbanned please? we're eager to play Sad

edit:, this morning its working again for me, thanks.

It's a protection feature of the server.  If you drop and join too much too quickly, the server gets mad at you and automatically bans your IP in the firewall.  This is done because some players in the past have used this to either annoy in-game players or as a way to try and crash the server.  At that point, the server basically falls off the face of the earth for you for a short time--it won't respond to queries, pings, or connection attempts from that address until the ban is automatically removed after it expires.  Don't worry though, auto-bans are temporary by design since they're just an automated protection feature and automatically expire after an hour.  The other day was a bit different where they weren't expiring is all.  I had to fix that.

The protection allows for:
- 20 connections within an hour
- 10 connections within 35 minutes
- 4 connections within a minute

If you exceed any of those checks, it will issue a temporary ban.

The last clear was 2,739 days ago as of March 28, 2012.  We're more or less eternal by this point.

Light from our sun has been to all three stars in the Centauri system since, passed Barnard's star years ago, and will be visiting Wolf 359 this July (2012).
