I've no idea... They've been down quite a bit lately... Server issues?

We've had problems here in the past, but somehow it got righted... Maybe chasing out the fangirls and fanboys did the trick. :mrgreen:

yes, i remember the time that we had the same problem.

Maybe chasing out the fangirls and fanboys did the trick.

to be honest, I think this would be an impossible thing to do. :hehe: it feels so scary if you are not particular fan and have a different opinion about their idol's drama. they will eat you alive. no point in agruing your point of view. :beaten:

Ruroshin had posted a day or so ago that they were having server (and maybe host... I can't remember now) problems and he was working on it, which could result in the site being down for a day. At first he thought he had the problem fixed, but apparently not.

Good time for me to go see Star Trek... finally. :good:

Good choice... It's really good. :victory:

The site isn't down. There are just some nameserver problems so that the domain name (www.d-addicts.com) doesnt resolve to the server's IP address (89.149.244.109).

You should be able to access the forum through http://89.149.244.109/

To be independent from any name servers you can add the following lines to your local hosts file. (You need admin previleges on your computer!)

[code:1]89.149.244.109 www.d-addicts.com
89.149.226.178 wiki.d-addicts.com
89.149.226.178 fansub.d-addicts.com
89.149.226.119 d-addicts.net[/code:1]

see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file for more tech help on the hosts file

Two things... Currently, both DNS servers that host "d-addicts.net" (note the dot-net and not dot-com) had its A-record deleted, probably due to hackers. Second, although seeding continues for a given torrent, BT can survive with zero trackers, either via the public DHT network, or with other peers within the swarm you established contact with prior to the tracker shutting down.

The site appears to be down again.... Or at least, intermittent. :sweat:
