Is anyone else not able to log in or view any of the other links on MARP? It always says contact server admin, page not found.

Marp is not the most stable site on the net, you'll notice
that "special" screen from time to time, GameBoy and Pat might give
and update or two but Zwaxy maybe be the one we have to wait for
who's eventually got to fix it.

OK here's what's occured:
<p>

4:30 pm eastern Friday - site goes into Internal Server Error mode.

<p>

5:15 pm Friday - I immediatly contact Prophet of Retrogames of the
problem.

<p>

about 6 pm Friday - Prophet comes back and says there's no problem.
This was incorrect because I wasn't specific enough. Because he was
going out - I tried Opi of Retrogames.

<p>

about 8 pm Friday - Get a bounced message - seems it doesn't accept
any mail from yahoo.com or something - Contacted Prophet and gave
more specific information.

<p>

hmmm... about 9am Saturday - Seeing no reply - I went to Atila of
Retrogames and see if he couldn't solve it.

<p>

11am Saturday - reupload python files from a backup. No go.

<p>

7:30pm Saturday - nothing back in my inbox. This is down the lines
of "what in the devil can I do?" The waiting game is the only answer
I can think of.

<p>

I'm going to mention this: if something doesn't happen by my Tuesday
afternoon... we may have to call an "evacuation"...

<p>

When the site does come back though - What I can tell you, Richy, is
that I'm looking forward to seeing your uploads. :)

Hi guys.
<p>

I think the site should be working again now. It appears that
somebody deleted some of the Python library files from the web
servers (not the MARP scripts, but files which are part of Python's
standard library).

<p>

I've mailed the ztnet administrators telling them about this and put
a temporary work-around in place. Please email me if I've missed
anything.

<p>

Chris.

I don't know if it can help but through the short adress
(marp.retrogames.com) it still partially works (but not for the
submitting)
