ping times and dns are not related -- if neowin is farther way from you than google, then yeah its going to be a longer ping to them.

Google has servers all over the planet - so I would hope the would be closer to you then neowin -- which only has the servers in 1 location.

I'll be honest, I've been having loads of connection issues with neowin and neogamr in the past few weeks.. loads of server not responding pages.. But I've just not really had time or motivation to report it. xP

I'm going to close this, as it seems to just be inviting unneeded attacks against an undeserving member.

BudMan is indeed correct with his point, and I thank him for bringing it to our attention. I have raised the TTL for most records as I said earlier. I realise the setting of the A records for neowin.net. at 300 may seem a little low, but trust me, it's like that intentionally, and for good reason.
