I lost the following game because I could not connect and when I finally did I had timed out.
You can PM us on OGS proper, or send them as a private message here on the forums. I say to use a PM because itās easier for us to keep track of which games we have and havenāt adjusted when they are centralized for us.

What is the best way to contact administrator?
Each game of master AlphaGo shakes the whole world.

Just to follow up, looks like while yes weāve had a bump in traffic from the AlphaGo/Master news, the actual cause of this downtime was someone accidentally DoSāing us. Theyāre IP has been blocked and things seem to be returning to normal.
Sorry for the downtime folks.

Hi,
Unfortunately the problem persists. I am right now in a game (https://online-go.com/game/7381087) which I can no longer access, as the connection to the game server seem down. Iām sure youāll find the solution eventually, just wanted to state for the record that the issue still remains.
As always Iām grateful for all the great work put in to OGS over the years. Itās a great thing, and as all big projects bound to run in to experience choppy seas (as crodgers nicely put it) once in a while.

+1, problem still persists
Iām a few hours away from timing out of a game in a tournament if Iām not able to play a move, which I currently canāt seem to do. Restoring the rating isnt really a sufficient solution for tournament games since Iāll be disqualified due to timing out a game. Canāt all correspondence games just be paused or something until the issues are sorted out?
That will get me about two extra hours. We are right after a major holiday and I used up all of my vacation time during that.
Pause the game then? like you would with a live game.
As far as I can tell, that functionality doesnāt seem to be working for me due to the current server issues. I can press the pause button, but itās not clear to me of its having an effect.
Oh, never mind. It does now appear to have paused successfully, it just took a long time. Thanks for the suggestion.
Everything appears to be back up and working now for me.
id leave it paused just in case this is the third time the server has settled down now today. Im thinking its each time they block the ip of the person dosing them. They switch their ip and start again. Although i dont know shit about this type of stuff.
My games seem to be returning to normal, but game reviews are still broken: loading takes on the order of minutes, and notes and variations arenāt saving, such that Iām losing my work every time I refresh.
