MSN Proxy is a proxy for MSN (surprise) which has plugin support to enable you to make auto-responders, interactive agents. You can select your initial status when signing in (online, away,…).
By default there is a plugin included called Wut. When you install this plugin, other users can send you a message '!wut' to request if you're playing Unreal Tournament and if do, on which server.
As messed by dwergs and submitted by Hash:
The .NET Messenger Service status of 1/9/2003 - 2:11 PM PST is showing Minor difficulties… again.
dwergs: “of course, right when I need to be on MSN Messenger badly. I hope this is not becoming a habit.”
Some users may experience problems signing in to the service. If you are currently signed in, some features may not be available, such as the ability to receive the latest information on your tabs or sign up with a voice service provider. Microsoft people are working to fix these issues and apologize for the inconvenience.
Microsoft said on Tuesday that human error was the cause of a five-hour outage to its .NET Messenger instant message service.
Technicians were installing routers to upgrade the .NET Messenger Service, which underlies both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger. The technicians incorrectly configured the routers. Service was out from 9am to 2pm Eastern time on Monday. Ironically, the routers were being installed to make the service more reliable.
phpMsgrStats caches the gathered statistics in a database, I’m sure Microsoft wouldn’t like it if people were accessing their servers in such a way phpMsgrStats does every time someone comes to the page.
The database is automatically updated when the first user after midnight visits the page, the update rate maybe increased in a future release of phpMsgrStats.
Its coded by GZ, who is appearantly being very busy these days ;).
As it is reported worldwide and on most of the community sites. .NET Messenger Service is down. You cannot sign in. Rumors say a massive DDoS attack against the servers caused hardware failures. The status page has been updated to Temporarily unavailable
Update: Welcome back on MSN Messenger! Its back online.
Update: The Redmond, Wash. based software maker lost much of its power for six hours to the .NET Messenger Service, the backend component that runs all of its IM clients including Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger. Bob Visse, MSN’s director of marketing, said that the source of the problem was as yet undetected, but the outage was “fairly widespread.”
