I don't know how many of you frequent this site but its been down all day from what I can see. I've just wished to bring this to anyone's attention and put it down somewhere that this has been happening.

I do wish to know though if anyone knows why this is going down. Any confirmed reports or just guesses?

Well, whaddaya know. It's down. I do wonder why.

And I was just thinking of stopping by that site to see if there were any videos worth watching. Guess that's out of the question, now.

I got on about hour ago by googling Nostalgia critic and going directly to the list of NC episodes, but that appears to not work anymore.

As a side note, if it's another publicity stunt to tell us about that bill that limits the freedom of the internet, I'll break something.

You know what, I bet it is. Because they really don't want it to pass. Because then they might have to get actual jobs!

I kid, I kid

According to Doug Walker (aka TGWTG) it's the Glitch Gremlin that did it (a reference to the Angry Video Game Nerd if you didn't know). At least that's what he said on his Facebook page.

Also updates via their twitter and facebook say they've been under some pretty harsh DDoS attacks, but they're working on fixing it.

DDoS?

 

[pyroblazejaguar]

To my understanding it means distributed denial-of-service. Pretty much overloads the website causing it to crash.

Who would want to DDoS TGWTG?

Maybe that is their goal. They want us to get so angry we break the spines of every senator who votes for the bill! Insidious!

So...Doug and Rob are trying to cause an armed uprising?

Isn't that treason?

 

[Steven Biehler]

maybe the people DDOS'ing them are the same people who want them to stop telling people to stop SOPA.

They invaded Molassia.

And we all know how well that turned out. I don't think the US government has anything to worry about from those two.

They invaded Molassia. Who knows what those motherfuckers are up to.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that.

How did I forget about that! What are they up to!

We need congress to investigate RIGHT NOW!

Quite a few people I know from the "Crowded Sidewalk" and "The Deceased Colt Barter". While I dislike the site's contributors (At least, some of them), I wouldn't go so far as to shut it down, even if it were within my power.

I thought their site was down a few days ago as well. Strange.
