I can't seem to connect to the site unless I route my traffic through somewhere else. Is the site having temporary trouble right now?

No trouble connecting here. But I'm already at somewhere else... [lol]

Same issue with me. I can only login through a proxy IP address. Maybe we've been banned??

No problems here?

Oh no! They banned us without telling us.

I remember this happened once before and it had something to do with our internet host where certain people couldn't get to the site in certain parts of the country and stuff. Jay did something to take care of it I think, but I can't remember exactly.

Ok, I found the old thread on it> http://www.imminst.o...f=177&t=9774&s=

If you read through it, you can see it was very similar to this issue, although I think it was a hosting thing on the last one, and we have upgraded since then. Hopefully it is just temporary thing and will be fixed, and isn't a DoS attack or anything.

It seems the people from outside the USA have less or no trouble. Probably a temporary routing issue.

48-Hour Internet Outage Plunges Nation Into Productivity

BOSTON—An Internet worm that disabled networks across the U.S. Monday and Tuesday temporarily thrust the nation into its most severe maelstrom of productivity since 1992.

"The local-access network is functioning, so people can transfer work projects to one another, but there's no e-mail, no eBay, no flaminglips.com. It's pretty much every office worker's worst nightmare."

"When American office workers are denied access to vast, complex streams of ever-fluctuating and evolving information, they tend to get a lot done," said Nicole Dansby, a business-information analyst employed by the New York Stock Exchange.

And Nate was so opposed to work that he actually found a way around the issue.

This is true. Necessity is the mother of invention.
