I know VMK starting slowing very much and I am like wat is going on! I logged in again and am staring at the most dreaded Black Screen!

NO!!THE BLACK SCREEN ZONE!!CURSE YOU!!:10_1_23: :pcpunch:

I got my ultimate high score on fireworks, I was supposed to return to the fireworks lobby, awaiting my credits and my place on the igh score board. I waited a few minutes and got nothing. I tried to quit the game and it was still there. I exited, tried to log back in, and I got the "the site is temeporiraly too busy to process your request" notice. Im sooo upset. has anything like this ever happen to any of you?

oh no black screen is back and terrorizing vmk memebers LOL

Aww Im sorry

Aww that stinks. Did u still get the credits though?

Here is a picture of us stuck in Host_Hula room lol
we cant move or talk
we can only message each other

12434

LOL i just got the idle for too long warning while i was in black screen

I dont know, Im trying to log back in again.

EDIT: uggh... getting the dreaded black screen.

No! i just got disconnected :(

yea i think something happened and vmk had to shut down i was in a prize show and all of the sudden everyone was quiet and no one was moving i started to type stuff cause it was wierd but nothing showed upon the screen. So i guess vmk froze with me weird cause that has never happened in my whole vmk life. It was very strange. And now so am i getting this site is temporaily to busy. What do they want us teenagers doing roaming the streets instead of being on vmk LOL JK about the whole roaming the streets deal

The black screen always seems so depressing. ~MoNkEy : ()

vmk is not working for me

I got my ultimate high score on fireworks, I was supposed to return to the fireworks lobby, awaiting my credits and my place on the igh score board. I waited a few minutes and got nothing. I tried to quit the game and it was still there. I exited, tried to log back in, and I got the "the site is temeporiraly too busy to process your request" notice. Im sooo upset.
Usually the server at VMK Headquarters (wherever that might be) processes your requests (in this case, your high score) almost instantaneously, even if somewhere the wires cross and you get disconnected or you get the "too busy" message.

Next time you log in, you should get your credits and such, though I don't fully guarantee it. Good luck!

I think all i can see is the black screen now..

OMG I'm so mad! I was almost inside the host game and it froze and said "this site is too busy" I'm so mad! VMK kicked me out!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I wonder why, VMK seemed to be fine this whole day.

CL_cookietheft, I hope your right. =)

I have been waiting for 15 minutes and still have not gotten in.

me either... i see a black screen! 0.0

I'm getting the Black Screen, too. This is fishy, since there are only 1411 players on VMK. What's going on here? :shifty:

same as gatorgreen i have the - Due to the lack of activity in vmk you will be automatically logged off in 4:06 - LOL while i have the black screen

right now black is not my favorite color lol

Yeah I'm getting a black screen right now...

I keep refeshing it and the number of ppl just keeps dropping and then occasionaly goes up like two. And when i try to get on, black screen, black screen. oh i figured out how to get on vmk when you loose connection
press f5 before you press ok on the message it will automatically restart.:wave2:

gosh this isn't cool

Anyone ever notice how Schmoofy is always first to post on things? ~MoNkEy : ()
Blame the fast computer/fast connection/constant F5ing of my screens ;)

Um, there is a thread for this.

Something is not right..something..:shifty:

i think most ppl already know about the F5 button but thinks for posting that it will help alot of ppl :)

I am trying to get into vmk and it loads and all but it takes me to a black screen afterwards are any of you getting the same? and also whenever i refresh the page, the amount of players keep going down. So i dont know if it is disney crew's problem and there making enhancements, or they are crashing. If any of you are having the same for logging in to vmk please private message me Thank you :) so i know it is just not my computer

im preety sure the had to close for a bit because like 900 people are on and there have been over 4000 most of today

Um, there is a thread for this.

Yes vmk forums uses a thread by gb shorts

Alright, Astro Blasters cannot connect to DLR right now, so something is up with the Disney internet base, no other reason logical...

i am getting the same thing

now there at the 800's lol

ohh.......

It seems a lot of people are being very angered at this glitch.

From what I see, a lot of people have been in very important things. In line for staff rooms, winning a game, and so on.

I hope it gets fixed soon!

Alright, Astro Blasters cannot connect to DLR right now, so something is up with the Disney internet base, no other reason logical...

Nice find! Is there bad weather down there or something? LOL

I was in a staff game room line :( Drats!

Nice find! Is there bad weather down there or something? LOL
Not sure about that, I am pretty sure every week Disney reboots it's Internet servers, this could be another reason...

In just a matter of 5 minutes VMK has gone from about 4,000 players to only about 850!

the number of player is starting to go up again

I was in a staff game room line :( Drats!
Me too :( :(

has any one gone in yet
cause i cant...
:( so sad

Dc, and black screen, grrr

~Cake

you know i agree with jenngrace black is not my favorite color right now. And i am at the black screen but i am getting messages from vmk. or at least i think they are because no one else is on. does anyone have a reason for this?

nope i still cant get in :( this stinks

the number of player is starting to go up again

true but they are counting the people that have the black screen

i cant get in it keeps saying that this site is temporarily too busy for your request, even on vmk pal!

i am still trying but the number of players is going up that a good sign

this really stinks. please somebody tell me if they got in?

i am still trying but the number of players is going up that a good sign

you sure? It just keeps staying at 870 players for me o.0

they are counting the players with the black screen, so the number is not going up.

I see 1061 players now

yes the numbers are going up but when you get a black screen they count you in vmk so alot of people are trying to get in vmk

Maybe the staff is trying to fix it or something? i dunno i hope so. but i was in my trade room and a ton of people were in there then i dc and couldnt get in at all after that

for me the number in the thousands try refreshing

That is what I'm saying LOL

vmk needs to work because i had my two favorite things candy and vmk! now i only have 1 of my favorite things candy! Candy just doesn't seem as good when you dont have vmk to enjoy the candy with..

now we at 1141
lol that is true

try refreshing i think more and more ppl are getting on. and i am still getting black screen and the music and the messages but nothing pops up even if i do wait for 10 minutes. then it tells me you lost connection.

lilbaybekat the numbers dont matter right now its just alot of people staring at the black screen

Did anyone else get the Shockwave message today?
I did buy my computer would not load it, so I had to go direct to update. I wonder if that had anything to do with this.

i don't even get the music or messages
ok now mine say vmk server down check firewall

try refreshing i think more and more ppl are getting on. and i am still getting black screen and the music and the messages but nothing pops up even if i do wait for 10 minutes. then it tells me you lost connection.

same exact problem here i think that it counts the number if you have the black screen even so mabie none is on just black screen?

it said internet fire wall thingy.....so idk

I just got that message too

wow yes!!

a couple moments later:

noooooooo!!i got in and then lost conection right when i pulled up the guest rooms!!!is that a good or bad sign?

yea but you firewall has nothing to do with it cause it never interfered before
that good sign it mean ppl cause actually get on

Now the site says sign up now

No players showing on home page now

i see that too gr
it might say sign up but you can still sign in
i am getting a little mad now
the firewall thing keep coming up

I think they shut the server down

I've gotten 3 different messages so far after starting VMK up again over and over...

That one that shows up when you don't move for a while...
Disconnection...
Can't enter VMK [due to Firewall/Internet problems, which I don't have 0__o.]

The weird thing is that I can hear my messages sound pop up, but no screen shows. I'm guessing VMK is either fixing something up, or having difficulty, or we wouldn't be having an Virtual Ice Age in 2006.

vmk needs to work because i had my two favorite things candy and vmk! now i only have 1 of my favorite things candy! Candy just doesn't seem as good when you dont have vmk to enjoy the candy with..
i agree and what is really scary is now i dont even have a number on my screen or the person. what is happening to vmk?first vmk now all my candy is gone!! is the world coming to an end? - runs around room screaming :red_eyes: :sadd2: :bawling: :cry8:

the probable did because it say cannot connect to server on vmk and on astro blasters

Virtual Ice Age, LOL! I have an idea, but people will quote me for it and take it for fact. I feel they are adding something, ***MAYBE*** Tomorrowland, but I am not sure if they are even doing anything.

i keep getting this internet Firewall Connection THing

Blame the fast computer/fast connection/constant F5ing of my screens ;)
LOL Schmoofy I love you your so cool! ~MoNkEy

Why on a Saturday afternoon would they do such a thing????

:10_1_23: :pcpunch: :10_1_23: :pcpunch:
Do you get this language?
i understand that and that's what i want tio do right now grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

It says cant log to vmk try turning of your firewall settings.Yep its not working ^_^ it gave me that error once before and it fixed sooner or later.

weird, ive gotten the "check your internet firewall" message twice now..

I keep getting this message:

Help Me !!!!

vmk must want us to go play outside! what i have to say to this..:lachen70:

:pcpunch: :10_1_23: :pcpunch: :10_1_23: There hasn't been an Ice Age for millions of years...why now?

princessshannie lol i kinna agree except its FREEZING at my house and if people think I am going outside they are sadly mistaken. ~MoNkEy

Hmm..VMK had no special event..maybe they are adding Tomorrowland. Normally a kick off like this doesn't happen on a non-event night..This same thing happened when they added Frontierland....

adding or taking stuff away i think their doing

Cratle, i keep getting that exact message everytime everything loads up and i'm supposed to see the vmk screen.

vmk must want us to go play outside! what i have to say to this..:lachen70:

new tomorrowland magic pin they said might be out

1) What tomorrowland magic pin?
2) Who is they?

Watching this thread is almost as entertaining as VMK itself! lol :wave2:
When I first logged on today around 1pm PST I received the Firewall message, a harbinger of things to come. I was able to log on and play until this episode showed itself. Lets hope Schmoofy is right and we have new stuff to explore.

new tomorrowland magic pin they said might be out


WOW i hope so. anyway it was nice talking to you before vmk went down.LOL

The Virtual Ice Age of 2006...I hope it ends sooner than all the other ones...ah!!The Black Screen Zombies!!They got me!!Ah!!

i think they are either adding more special example magic
or adding stuff in tomorrowland
i hope it both:D

jnemo you got on?

i got in, but the friends list bug..

I got in. Not many players. Guest room list not full yet. No rooms more than 1 mickey. Slow moving in rooms. I guess they had to reboot.

i think they are either adding more special example magic
or adding stuff in tomorrowland
i hope it both:D

You click on the flying alien thingy

I'm so lonely! I have no friends anymore!

Forgot to mention, someone said something about the weather possibly being bad and affecting Disney's servers. The weather here is stormy, but I doubt stormy enough to affect VMK, and besides, I am now on YEah hahhahaha

yea ditto what's wrong?!? vmk i love u why do u hate me so much (cries) oh wait yay!!

this happened every friday

doesn't seem to be anything new

I'm not on, but did the people who got on wait with black screens?

EDIT: I'm in again!

My friend Abigal (vmk name) just, somehow, sent me a message and when i tried to reply i crashed. I just got back in and when i click to look at my messages i crashed.



EDIT: My friends are back and i can reply to their messages

I think it just went down again!

yeah. i got dc. and now all i get is black screen. :/

yes all i am getting is the black screen.. i don't like it!

Glad I'm not the only one.

omg not again!

VMK closed again.. I hope they dont close the host game bc the rooms got messed up?

Here we all go again. LALALA ..

Logged in, and map came up, but all areas said "Room Not Available." Now I am just getting a black screen upon trying to log back in.

Michelle :o)

Ughh. I just got back from shopping..

-.- i hate this when it happens it just froze all of a sudden when i waz playing @_@

I'm in the game and there is this lag like no tomorrow

i hate when this happens!! and i was doing something too :(
gah i guess i will have to do something else while i wait for it to open

Maybeh tomorrowland will open up fully?

:D

HA! I just noticed something. When your logging in and VMK is "Updating", my percentage just went to 103%. lol Still just a black screen after that though.

i think vmk shut down shortly. if u have noticed ( like i did ), in 5 minutes, the homepage went from 5,000 ppl to 400

Edit: but i think now it is going back up, cause 4 minutes later it is now 1,000 ppl

Its Big. Its Black. Its Evil. I Hate It. The Evil Black Screen Attacked. Ive Bee Staring At It For 12 Minutes Now. :(

Why is that everytime VMK is going to have a big event or a new HOST game, VMK starts acting up? Like now for instance -.-

Omg this same thing happened yesterday and the day before everyone is getting a black screen again and ppl can't get in vmk
is this happening to anyone else?

Why is that everytime VMK is going to have a big event or a new HOST game, VMK starts acting up? Like now for instance -.-
I feel ya. I just got home, was looking forward to some vmk time, and it is not working -_-

yes i think it is to fix the fact that vmk was lagging really bad again

i see the dreadful 'Black Screen'

I have it too, we are discussing it here (http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29525&page=168)

-coolgogogirl

EDIT: nvm, it got moved before I posted.

yea that true but why do they always have to do it right when it a host game gr

yep, im getting the black screen of death too..

BBallMan: Maybeh tomorrowland will open up fully? :D



lol Keep dreaming.. I wonder how long it'll be closed... I hope it's back up soon. If anyone gets in, please let us know. I want to get in ASAP. lol :)

....I see black screens @_@

hopefully vmk fixes this soon

Maybeh tomorrowland will open up fully?

:D


I thought there opening that in Tomorrowland Month

the number of ppl on is going up.. ^^^ so..

curse you black screen. you may have won the battle, but you haven't won the war!

last time it was down for about 30 min - 1 hour it was hrorible

I thought there opening that in Tomorrowland Month
Tomorrowland month?! Where did you come up with that? LOL

all i got was a black screen after it updated and i dc befor it came to that

I thought there opening that in Tomorrowland Month
Tommorwland month?????? We heard yavn say something about he had to see if it was ready.. That means soon and if u think buzz as a hero it has to do with space. Also someone made a good prediction.. Frontierland opened on a wednesday and the tomorrowland games. So it might open on a wednesday.

it showed 1200 ppl and now 1300 ppl so somebody is getting in
just not me

edit: now 1700

it showed 1200 ppl and now 1300 ppl so somebody is getting in
just not me
Maybe staff..... Maybe they are opening tomorrowland?????

I logged off and now black hole

Maybe staff..... Maybe they are opening tomorrowland?????
I doubt that there are that many staff.

1. every black screen event and ppl say something new . .. 99.9% of the time its wrong ( the events such as racing games usually go on when the black attacks, so that is the 1 % ),

2. i am pretty sure frontierland opened on a monday ( cause stuff i do on mondays i think i was doing right b4 i went and saw frontierland open ). also, the briar room came out a week later on a monday.

I keep trying to log into vmk but it wont work! waah!

I'm taking this convienit time to browse through the off-topic section, and work on songs for my guitar.

-coolgogogirl

^^^^^ Also it did come out on a wednesday. If i remember i think ur right about the room. :)

it happens to me too
ive been trying to log on for an hour

this stinks

There's nothing better to do on a sunday night than trying to log onto VMK.

-DEEPLAKE

Anyone in? :( I'm not... Drat!

EDIT: LOL Deeplake.

i just tried again.. it loads and then does nothing..

how did the 1,000 and something ppl get in and we cant? this makes me sad :(

if anyone is in could you tell us whats happening there are
1998 people in

So I'm not going crazy? Yippie!

Oddly enough, while sitting on this black screen, I got a message saying that they will disconnect me in (insert time here) for being idle, and to press Ok to continue playing. I pressed OK, and stll nothing.

Aren't we glad this type of thing doesn't happen at the parks. Sure a few rides might go down, but usually not all at the same time.

i just tried again.. it loads and then does nothing..
same here I got the most terrifying of all things! Black Screen of course - evil organ music plays -

^^^^^ Also it did come out on a wednesday. If i remember i think ur right about the room. :)


u sure about the wednesday? my dog died 3 days after frontierland opened . .. and he died on a thursday.

they are probably too busy playing the host game right now while there is no line since no one can log on...:(

Im gonna keep a count on how many people are in rite now its 2322

wow it went up...

now its 2417


edit:this is soooo unfair

why are 2145 ppl in vm but some cant get in ?

the number of people also includes the number of black screens
anyone got in yet?

they probably waited a loooooooooong time on the black screen or just got reallu really lucky

That's smart thinking. :)

this is so wierd... i hate it

the number of people also includes the number of black screens
anyone got in yet?
lol, im still trying to get in!

I got this...

http://i1.************/rtg7d4.jpg

PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT CRAZY!!!


o yeah and it went down when i just got the highest score i ever got on fireworks!!! i couldnt even get my credits message~!!!!!!

lol i was looking at my black screen and i got a vmk staff alert saying you will soon be logged out of vmk in 4:59 LOL

Yoho Yoho a pirates life for me....hmm..can't wait to play.

i'm sad and glad i'm not the only one though. just glad it's not my computer.

they probably waited a loooooooooong time on the black screen or just got reallu really lucky wow thats a good idea i think ill try that:wave2:

Maybe we should wait for a long time staring at either vmkf vmkm or the dreaded black screen who knows one time it took me like 5 minutes to get rid of my black screen and into vmk.

the number of players is going down now
EDIT: number of players online = 1659
EDIT:
now it is going up @_@ ???
number of players online = 1721 also I just had a ring like I got a message on the black screen???
EDIT: it is going down again

im going to keep track for how long im sitting on the black screen... 2 minutes

i have trust me it don't work i have been at the same screen from when it first went down

i still cantget on can eny 1 else

wow.. i was just about to finish buying my suit! waah! now i wont have it..

this is soo depressing.. i think im going to go and eat some yummy food! :) hope something happens when i come back

nope lol....................

So I'm not going crazy? Yippie!

Oddly enough, while sitting on this black screen, I got a message saying that they will disconnect me in (insert time here) for being idle, and to press Ok to continue playing. I pressed OK, and stll nothing.
OK same with me except 5 seconds after I got the "You will be disconnected because of this cool new message that kicks off people" thing, I got the "you have just been disconnected" and it wasn't the other message because it still said I had 1:57 left...@_@

AH! Two days in a row now, eh VMK? I hope they fix up the server soon, or whatever is wrong... :@@:

ok creepy thing and clue that the site mite be going down. If you wave ur mouse over the -Enter VMK- button, it twitches. does anyone else notice that?

This is odd..

this is all i'm getting!



LOL

The second day straight for the black screen, I think theres going to be a new update with VMK.

LOL Deeplake. That's all I'm getting!

Yea, Same!
Mad!

LOL Me too, DEEPLAKE, me too!

ok creepy thing and clue that the site mite be going down. If you wave ur mouse over the -Enter VMK- button, it twitches. does anyone else notice that?
It always does that

and after 5 minutes of on black screen.. i get dc :(

now i'm getting the firewall thing.

I just waited about 5 minutes to get in VMK..and now I got the "You have been disconnected HA HA HA HA HA HA HA" message...well, at least there is something other to look at now other than the black screen. I used to get nothing but it.

this is all i'm getting!



LOL
Thats all I'm getting too. It is really starting to be a pain.
Amanda:mickey2:

i got a white page now. it says the page it currently too busy.

Now Their Doing this site is to busy to process your request thing they will try any thing to stall

OFF TOPIC: Woot! 400 Post!

VMK is wasting our life. I can see myself now.... Staring blankly at a black computer screen, drool hanging out of my mouth, my eyes red and puffy... Ah!!! Save us from the maddness! Ah!!!!! Please!!!! O_O
