Internet Scrabble Club

People tend to arrive on this page to see if there are problems with http://isc.ro, your best bet is downforeveryoneorjustme.com/isc.ro to see if it’s down for everyone or just you.


EDIT: 1/12/08

When I logged into scrabble today I saw this message, thought it might help the folks who got here via google for ISC server status…

Worth a try

EDIT: 2/Nov/08: The isc.ro site’s been down for me (and everyone else according to http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/)  for a week or so. I can still log in and play though… Doesn’t bode well.

Internet Scrabble Club

EDIT: 1/June/08 : Just noticed a spike in traffic for hardcore scrabble addicts wondering what’s up with the ISC server. On their site it’s saying:

The main server is currently experiencing an outage. We do not have an estimated time to repair at present. ISC backup server is running, to connect select from the ‘Open Connection’ window ‘ISC backup server’
We apologize for the inconvenience.

I can’t connect to the backup server though… Hey ho. Looks like it’s back to Scrabulous on Facebook

Just testing a new button I’ve got on me browser that I can press when I want to blog a page I like… My scrabble rating’s presently at 915, highest ever. This year I intend to get past 1000. Sita’s moving over to the dark side though, with her Su Doku, so fat chance of any real world practice…

  1. I’m glad you posted that because I didn’t know what was going on with ISC..never saw it down so long.

  2. Statistics on my site usage… Half the fun of having your own site is seeing where people surf in from.

    I just had 3 decent real-time games on scrabulous.com. One with another ISC refugee. My handle’s gwynf if you fancy a quick SOWPODS game 😀

  3. I WAS PLAYING ONE NIGHT ADN THEN MY GAME WENT BLANK SUDDENLY LOL JUN 18. I THEN FOUND SCRABALOUS OF COURSE TOOOOOOOO : )

  4. Hi qwerty,

    every now and again they have issues in Romania with the ISC servers, they usually publish something on their site if it’s a big issue…

    Facebook’s now banned scrabulous for US/Canadian users, but there is a way round it using proxy servers, email for details 😉

  5. What’s happened to the Internet Scrabble Club? I haven’t been able to connect since Sunday August 31st, and there’s been no explanation. Help – I can’t live without it. Do you know anything?

  6. Seems like lots of people are locked out of it, Chrissie… I just logged in with no trouble.

    here’s my standard email for people asking about it:

    I’m nothing to do with the ISC site, I just play there occasionally.

    All I can tell you is that over the last 2 weeks or so there’ve been lots of searches for “ISC server down” arriving at my blog. I’ve had no trouble connecting though I don’t know if that’s because of my settings (SOWPODS, VOID) or what the deal is.

    Sorry I can’t help, best of luck

  7. anyone:
    please let me know if you hear anything about isc being back up. i’m an addict and can’t live without it. i’ve tried downloading again but no luck. sigh

  8. Wow! Scrabulous.com is down… and was hosted by GoDaddy??!

    I can still get on ISC, but there are WAY fewer people playing. On their site: “Right now there are 5422 players logged into the ISC and 2008 games in progress.”

  9. I periodically, am unable to connect to ISC I have noticed that it seems to happen after I have updated Java. I put off updating and was able to connect and play ok. Unfortunately I got a new pc and had to put Java on and of course it was the latest version and sure enough no connetion to ISC. Maybe its a coincidence I dont know I am not a computer expert Maybe someone out there is and can help.I keep trying to connect as for no reason whatsoever I am usually able to connect after a few weeks and enjoy my game again.

  10. These posts are pretty old, but thank you anyway. I’ve been having trouble getting in for a couple of days. Immediately got paranoid about the possibility of having been banned for criticising the Tile Fairy quite robustly a couple of times. Well I’ve cleared cache etc, updating Java and will try the download of Wordbiz thing again. And if none of that works, I will let paranoia get the better of me, unplug, and run away crying. And possibly doing something useful with my free time. What am I saying.

  11. Just dusted off WordBiz after a lengthy absence, Tyler, and am playing a game right now. So none of this ‘do something productive instead’ defeatism, please 😉

  12. Thank you Gwyn – I’ve done everything in the instructions and nothing has made a difference. But I see up above that you noted 5422 people logged in once – well I’ve seen just 1,500-2,000 logged in over the last 2-3 days, so that tends to suggest there could be something wrong for some servers/countries??? I shall put my paranoia back in its box, and wait. And perhaps offer some sacrifices to the Tile Gods whilst I’m waiting. Lilymac, if you’re out there, it’s MEEEEEE I’m still alive.

  13. Grrrr. ISC is down for 24 hours. I logged on about 1600 BST yesterday so it could be another 8 hours yet – i’m crawling up the wall here. Anyone know anything?

  14. I’ve been trying to log on for two days. Nothing. I can’t stand this! I want to play so bad. I’m totally jonesing here. I’m a Scrabble addict and need my fix!

  15. I THOUGHT if we paid our yearly dues, which I did, that I could at least play the BOT if the site was down but I get NO connection, even to a message explaining that they are working on it.. SIGH.

  16. Looks like it’s back up now (19:25 GMT, 10th Aug 2015), must’ve been quite the outage. Hope everyone’s making up for lost time…
