Anandtech Forums Down to Non-Subscribers--Nevermind..they're back.

I normally just type "forums.anandtech.com" and am redirected as a subscriber, but for the past hour or so I get a tcp/ip error. I can use subcriber.anandtech.com and it works fine. Anyone else having problems? I mean, obviously it isn't a huge deal if you are a subscriber, but it may be effecting those who don't purchase a subscription.
 
The strange thing is that on top of how many users are logged in...it just says like 88 members logged in.
 
I was having problems this morning. Logging onto forums, forums2, and forums3 were all very, very slow. So I said, "screw this." And subscribed. Wow is all I can say. I'm stuck on a dial-up and everything loads, serious, like 10 times faster now.

choke,gasp, opps there goes another cup of coffee 🙂
 
I am dial up and it is worth every penny to be a subscriber and not have to load all the ads and be on the faster server. Besides, if you use a product and enjoy it, why not pay for their service?
 
First time ive seen one of these during the day.. Usually its when were up at 3am neffing the night away 🙂

When I first subscribed I was on dial-up (I have since moved to an apt with cable), & even when I was at home on dial-up the difference was remarkable. The biggest difference was simply responsiveness.

A couple of weird things happened...

First, Athanasius contacted me saying that he thought he had been banned because when he tried to post or send an IM, he got a error message saying:

You have been forbidden to post/reply or edit a message in these forums.

I PMed the moderator, who said that Athanasius's account was fine.

Then, fifteen minutes later, the AnandTech mainpage went offline.

Ten minutes after that, the non-subscriber forums went offline.

I'm thinking that they must all be related.

One thing is for sure, for anyone who thought that the subscribers just had a different NIC on the same server, I'd say this situation blows a hole in that theory!

Yeah I'm a non-subsciber and I can't get it. I'm only able to post this under forums1. The normal formus.anandtech is down and I can't get in at all.
