who on here uses Webs DOT com?

[warsawknuckles]

for wantlists and tradelists?

i have a page with them, which i use for my Ryan Miller wantlist, and whatever non-scanworthy cards i have to list.

the HUGE problem is that i can't access the page! not from the link in my "favorites" on IE, not from the link in my sig, nothing. not even from Safari on my iPhone or Firefox (my backup web explorer).

i get the "internet explorer cannot display the webpage" message whenever i try to access it. i did a little research (and i do mean not much) online and found that folks with Virgin internet (?) are blocked from it, due to some alleged content BS or something of that sort.

so my question is, is anyone else having problems accessing the site? and did you figure out a solution?

I'm having problems as well. I'm sure they are aware of the issue.

Outage Update:

Hey Guys,

We're back for an additional update! First and foremost, we'd like to offer our deepest apologies again for this inconvenience. We know how much your sites mean to you all, which is why we're working tirelessly to insure you're able to access them again soon!

A Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack or DDOS attack can be a bit tricky while investigating and pinpointing the exact location of the error. It's an intended attempt to render a machine or network resource unavailable for it's user(s), and the motives for such can vary.

You'd be surprised to see what other very well-known companies have also been subjected to this type of abuse in the past.

The CIA and SOCA
The Sony Playstation Network
The Honk Kong Stock Exchange
Visa, MasterCard, PostFinance and PayPal
WordPress

And those are just a few of the major ones that have been affected. Because of the nature of this type of issue, additional time will be needed to get this fully resolved.

Thanks again for all the information you all have provided thus far. We always appreciate such great assistance from our users!

The network specialists who have been aggressively working on this are hoping to restore service this evening. However, there may been further downtime should these attacks continue and we have to continue working around them.

Again, we appreciate you all for sticking with us throughout this and we'll be sure to provide another update at 6:15PM EST.

Thank you guys!

thanks, Kendall, that explains a lot. more than a lot, actually. glad my page didn't have anything vital on it; sounds like some *** hole decided to screw with a great site.

hopefully, the techs at Webs can figger it out.
