@Korten12 seems to be having problems. He can't log in using IE, Firefox or Chrome and he's flushed the DNS. (It's on his school computer and on his)
Everytime he tries to load the page, it's as if he has no net connection, but he can reach other pages fine.
Any ideas?

(Yes, he has tried turning it off and on again ;))

Seems to be happening to a small percentage of users. I know Sassafrass said he can't get on either.

No idea how to fix it though. :/

I had that problem at 11 AM EST until I gave up at noon. Nothing I did to connect worked, and the 'is it down for just me or everyone' sites all brought me responses of it not being just me. Even when I tried to go to the Facebook escapist page, it threw up the connection error inside of a Facebook window. Got on again at 3PM, works like a charm.

I'd recommend he be patient for a while. They may be doing maintenance.

I can't go to the site on my computer at all, but I can on my phone (this will be the only post I make via my blackberry. Browsing on it is way too slow). I tried clearing out my dns, restarting my router, turning off my firewall, and tried firefox and safari with no luck. I guess ill keep checking from time to time until its sorted out.

Forty minutes later, it's now working for me. Tell Korten to try now. I had problems when I woke up (9AM) then at lunch and then still at the time of my previous post (6:42 PM).

Anyone know what happened?

At first I was like 'holy shit Anon DDoSed the Escapist!' then I was like 'nah it's just technical problems.'
