just replace the notepad parts with this and you're all set.

Windows
1. Run notepad as administrator
2. Paste the following content into your notepad document:
--- Code: ---# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost
75.125.196.138 forum.blockland.us
75.125.196.138 blockland.us
75.125.196.138 master2.blockland.us
75.125.196.138 master.blockland.us
75.125.196.138 auth.blockland.us
--- End code ---
(also, check if the hosts file listed below has more contents than just "127.0.0.1"
An unmodified copy of the hosts file should only have 127.0.0.1. If there is more,
don't forget to include it)
3. Save the file to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
4. Restart Blockland
5. ???
6. Profit

There's an outage? :panda:
Mr.Noßody:
Yes. For a large group of people Blockland and all of its websites were down. The websites, like this forums, would simply 404 every time you tried to open it and Blockland in game was stuck on Offline Mode. It was hell.
This however worked. Thank you Kalphiter.
Edit: However, now Blockland Authenticates forever not letting me on servers, and I have to re-enter my pin every time I open Blockland.
Help.
MegaScientifical:
I think Badspot died. :panda:

This is getting old. What the hell is going on?
