You don't like it, quit bending over and spreading your buttcheeks. This is where you apologize for being a moron or show how a packet gets lost for 30+ seconds and the miraculously gets processed by the server.

I don't know why myself or anyone is trying to help you after how rude you're being.

Thulack drew you an..adequate picture to illustrate how servers work. If you want to see it yourself, run a trace route from your computer to Project 1999.

Open command prompt-> type "tracert www.project1999.com" ->Look at what it spits out. If at any point in the list you see something time out, you are having a problem with that server/gateway, not necessarily Project 1999. If you want to understand everything, Read this.

I've had it happen to me a couple times. A few weeks ago I was in Unrest and went Linkdead, could barely make it to the server select screen. Couldn't go to the wiki page or Project1999 because somewhere along the lines (Atlanta for me) something was screwy.

Edit to Add: This is also classic as fudge. Just because you are going LD doesn't mean its a clean cut or that everything you're doing doesn't get sent. You'd see this during Live in packed/buggy zones hosted on crappy servers. Ssra, Trak's Teeth and Velks in particular back-in-the-day.
