HELP! ADMIN/PARKER PLS HELP!

Everytime i try to play on PYD either Spoutcraft or just regular Minecraft it give me the error: Connection Refused. WHAT DO I DO?

This is an uncommon problem that shows up now and again first you need to make sure you are using Minecraft version 1.8.1, you can also try a force update. If those don't work try turning off you router and/or modem for a min or two after that turn it all back on and give it a shot.

Servers been down most of the afternoon.

Its happening again. It's not my router and it does not signify that the server is down on the Minecraft Servers Website.

Well I can tell you currently that the server is down. If you are using 1.8.1 you should now have a ping to the right of the server. When you bring up the Multiplayer screen and it polls the server if you get the "Can't reach server" message then the server is down regardless of what any website says.

Parker will fix it when he fixes it. Just go outside or something till its done.
