Tin Hat: DDOS Attack on www.returnofkings.com?
Almost certainly overreacting but this is the current message when you try to visit http://www.returnofkings.

Quote:This page (http://www.returnofkings.com/) is currently offline. However, because the site uses CloudFlare's Always Online™ technology you can continue to surf a snapshot of the site. We will keep checking in the background and, as soon as the site comes back, you will automatically be served the live version. Always Online™ is powered by CloudFlare | Hide this Alert

You don't need to take a site offline when updating articles so unless Roosh is making changes to the structure of the site why would this be offline? As far as I remember most commercial hosting companies keep sites up better than 99.99% of the time.

Mmm, how weird. Let me try another browser then...

No same thing. Other sites working fine. Will have to try to figure out what's going on.

(http://www.returnofkings.) is an invalid address.

(http://www.returnofkings.com) is a valid address.

Next time please call your helpdesk first and open a ticket. Then if that does not work, open a ticket with Roosh and Tuth.

Haha. I am using the correct address http://www.returnofkings.com/. The above was a typo. Still getting the same message. Front page loads but only articles up to 23 July, and the error message above. Individual pages don't load. "Error 522 - Time out - No cache".

Anyway, must be something local. Maybe with my ISP. Will check it out this side.

Could be a DNS problem. Recently opendns blocked ROK, perhaps your ISP did the same? Try http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com

The solution would be to use a custom name server such as 8.8.8.8 .

there is a thread on this already, search for opendns

If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

Yeah what Storm said. Check your DNS settings. You could always switch to Google DNS servers. 8.8.8.8

OK, so the site loads if I use a proxy server. But I just can't believe that my ISP would be at all bothered with black-listing a site like returnofkings, so I'll check what other problem it could be later.

Probably they just copy paste the opendns blocklist or use opendns themselves.

Might I suggest... Call them and ask them to unban it.

Bad Hussar has not checked back in. SWATTing, bad connection, or kidnapping by the Illuminati?

I've seen this a couple of times lately. But it's always been back up next time I checked. Maybe it was during the 0.01% of the time the site is down. When hosting companies temporarily take sites down they try to do it in off-peak times. Being in Australia these are usually the times I'll be on the internet.

Yep, all good today. Must have been some sort of technical issue.

Tin hat removed.
