Banzai Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I look forward to Microsoft?s Examination of this one, Its not like it was just one Server, it was the howl MSN Messenger Network, my guess is it was a mistake in the recent updates done to the core network. Someone?s going to get a phone call on Monday. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/275259-msn-down/page/17/#findComment-585344344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delox Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Sounds to me like the MSN database server was down. That would explain several of the errors. I mean think about it: MSN likely stores everyone's contact lists and information at a single location, so it would make sense if that server went down, the whole global network would go down... Some one tripped over an ethernet cable anyone? :p Anyways, that's my thoughts on the matter. It could also expalin the outages for the webpages too, because Microsoft would likely host all of their passport information (which most pages would rely on) at the same location... Just my thoughts.... Delox Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/275259-msn-down/page/17/#findComment-585344994 Share on other sites More sharing options...

eilegz Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I've been using ICQ since early 1998. Everybody I know has switched over to MSN a few years ago. As for AIM, that seems to be an American thing. Nobody I know uses Yahoo either. 585342881[/snapback] me too i still use icq and tried others IM somehow i feel that msn copy almost anything from others IM (especially from yahoo messenger 6) The only original feature that msn got its handwrite and thats for the latest version and it needs windows messenger 5 MSN Messenger is free as well, what the hell are you on about? I doubt any of them are that reliable as well. Please shut up will you. 585342896[/snapback] yeah its free so what because its free dont mean that they give us a good service is that what i mean. Any of them as you said never got issues like msn and i can tell you that last year msn suffer the same crappy problems like 8 or 10 times so since you dont know anything or you dont even used the others IM at all you cant tell anything so you are the one that must shut up. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/275259-msn-down/page/17/#findComment-585345768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
