Hi, I'm having trouble accessing the site. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one? Thanks!

Me too. It was working fine earlier today.

And its not just a local thing. I am in COS and couldn't get the site to come up either.

Two posts from her on another board:

 
it's Canada Day here, and everyone is drunk and going to the fireworks tonight (except me!)..... everyone including our hosting company (so it seems). We're doing our best to get in touch with someone who can deal with this today, but it's not looking too promising.

All I can say is we are doing the best we can to get the site back up.

Always,
Gina  

 
It's been confirmed that we are dealing with a ddos attack... which is basically a shitload of bogus traffic directed at a site, with the intention of overwhelming the server and bringing the site down. We've been through this before, and we survived.

The good news is that we pay mega-bucks for ddos protection which means we should never be down for more than a few minutes when under a ddos attack.

The bad news is that our hosting company simply locked the site down when the problem started today and left to celebrate the holiday. They won't be back in the office until tomorrow morning to help us deal with this.... so what should take a few minutes is going to take quite a bit longer.

Hang in there, we expect to be back up and running first thing tomorrow.

For me ..is it back for others too? :

There were plenty of denial of service attacks going on yesterday and today on numerous sites and in general.  Quite a few networks were being hit.

I've been trying to log on for last few hours and still can't!!!
