# Too late now, he's buggered off.
I think right now, my only course of action is to just wait. If memory serves me correctly, this has happened before, and it was fine the next day.

But yeah, I think I'll get by without anything dodgy like a proxy. :)

# proxy can be handy in such circumstances
but i wouldn't enter any passwords or personal info. there only has to be one weak link in the chain.

# I'm having trouble too. Guessing it's a DNS error but can't be arsed changing it.
Look up the open dns, or google dns and switch it for the night if you want to try and fix the problem. Takes about a minute.

# Is it just a load of redexes, and the b3tards website not loading?
I think I'll just leave it be; I mean, /board isn't exactly busy right now.

I'm sure it'll be right as rain in due time.

# DNS is the Domain Name Server which basically tells your computer how to find a website's server to pull the information off, every ISP uses a their own default one.
If the DNS is broked for a site then you won't be able to access it, or anything on its servers.
It's a quick fix in your network settings to just change the default to another one.

# Mm... it's something my Xbox loves to whinge about; I feel ashamed I only just found out what it was.
It's a mystery as to why I have to do this in the first place, unless my ISP have changed the default...

# Myeh, they fuck up often enough for people to whinge about them and set up independant ones.
Sites can do it to themselves during maintenance, or the ISP's server had an aneurysm and dropped a bit.

# I think it's safe to assume it's my ISP's fault and not b3tards'.
I've had to phone my ISP on numerous occasions because of this... I'll have a poke around. If I get no joy, I'll have to ring them up and bollock them again.

# Ringing ISPs is a waste of time
Ringing the BT ISP "support" is even worse. Especially late in the evening as the idiot staff are put on to answer the phones. You would get a better response by jabbing a dart into your leg. Less pain.
