DV DOWN - domain doesn't exist! HTTP 400

[Moolah!]

I was gone to the gym for a few hours. When I returned I wanted to see if there's anything worthwhile gone on there...



Couldn't even even access the site. WTF. [img onmousedown=travesmilie(this.src); height=22 src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/fragend/confused-smiley-004.gif" width=15]



I'm getting "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)" on alternate browsers and [H2 id=errortext style="FONT: 8pt/11pt verdana; COLOR: black"]HTTP 400 - Bad Request
Internet Explorer [/H2] [P style="FONT: 8pt/11pt verdana; COLOR: black"]

 [P style="FONT: 8pt/11pt verdana; COLOR: black"]Can anyone else access it?

 [P style="FONT: 8pt/11pt verdana; COLOR: black"]If you can, that means the inept admins must have banned me all together.

 [P style="FONT: 8pt/11pt verdana; COLOR: black"](For no valid reason whatsoever I must add, other than calling them incompetent idiots [img onmousedown=travesmilie(this.src); height=15 src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/grinser/grinning-smiley-001.gif" width=15] which I believe is WELL deserved.)

 [P style="FONT: 8pt/11pt verdana; COLOR: black"]So, somebody give me a field report...

Hi Raging Poodle i was starting to wonder if it was just me.. shit.. I thought it was the mods being a**holes again . I bet it is hackers.. Do DO Do..

[raerae]

They COULD just be changing some stuff on it...who knows...

[Moolah!]

Thanks for your feedback some guy, raerae.... I was really beginning to wonder.



I was looking at who's online right at this moment for some immediate verification... It showed 5 guests, myself, and Aboozer.



I figured our boozer friend would be too drunk to say anything coherent at this hour [img onmousedown=travesmilie(this.src); height=15 src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/grinser/grinning-smiley-023.gif" width=15] so I was trying to come up with a way to harrass the guests...

So you're both getting the same error message?



Which means DV got taken down, possibly forcefully.



EED was getting increasingly irate before I left the board and he was threatening to do something along these lines...



Could he have managed to pull something this drastic?  [img onmousedown=travesmilie(this.src); height=25 src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/fragend/confused-smiley-016.gif" width=17]

Hi rae rae I thougt it was your birthday why are you on the computer you should be drunk and doing other things right now.. But seriusly why can't i connect i know you would't do that but i don't know the other mods... I was having a coversation and then i couldn't connect.. I am serious pissed off.  

[some guy]

No but my hacker friends are more then capable.. I didn't think they could actually bring the whole web site down though. I am suprised.

[Moolah!]

Another possibility: The site didn't generate enough Raging Poodle [img onmousedown=travesmilie(this.src); height=25 src="http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/grinser/grinning-smiley-025.gif" width=15] so they couldn't afford to pay their domain dues. And someone pulled the plug on them.

[some guy]

I don't think euro dude could hack his way out of a paper bag but I know some cats that could.. I don't think this is cool thought bringing the whole site down.. f*cking a**holes..

 Yeah, I think that's right about EED. Amazing the hacker bait that they have become.

[shutupUwhiners]

this could be anything from a local issue to a network problem to a router that's broken.

DV hasn't gone away and I don't even have to look to know this.

all of you little whiners just need to unbunch you panties and relax. it'll be back if it isn't already.

Status: Failed - could not connect to "[A href="http://www.discovervancouver.com"]www.discovervancouver.com[/A]".

  Same deal tonight it seems... happened even earlier tonight.

[Moolah!]

Currently site accessable, but the board isn't:

 Perhaps the board alone is being targeted...?
