To give you a heads up with what is happening with Yuku - they got bought out a few weeks ago. If you don't remember or never read, Yuku moved to Amazon's cloud hosting service back in the summer (horrible idea). With the cloud hosting service from what I have been told, Yuku's IP address changes every few weeks. The chat software was not developed by Yuku - it was purchased by them and integrated within the site. Whenever the IP changes - chat fails until Yuku's techs physically update the new IP address so chat can connect. So today - the IP changed. It might be fixed by gametime but if it doesn't - that's the reason.

The new company is fixing the hosting solution from what I have been told so there might be some outages on the board/chat room like we have seen in the past week until they sort things out.
