Its likely related to the massive DDoS attack on DNS servers happening today. 

 

or it could be because they host using OVH who gets DDoSd with alarming regularity

wait there was a DDoS attack? Is it over now cause i reached the Community page now...

[guttertrash 184]

I'm not sure it was related but some of the worlds largest DNS servers were DDoSd today and the symptom was the same as you described. 

 

I dont know if its over or all the specifics but it affected a lot of major sites so made headlines on a lot of news sources this morning.

so why would someone do this exactly. i mean I kind of guess that the hacker or hackers just love to fuck with people? Or am I getting it wrong.

[guttertrash 184]

because they can. 

[Zorac 20]

Maybe it is unrelated but sometimes i cant login to the forums. I only get "wrong password" even though i typed in the correct password. Did not have this problem for a few days but just got it again, like a hour ago.

 

Ah well it is all good now at least.

[EmperorToch 58]

because they can.

[Atmosph3rik 607]

Twitter and Reddit are definitely still down for me.

 

I feel so disconnected.  I had to google "Why is twitter down" just to find out what was happening lol 

[guttertrash 184]

if you're still having issues with DNS resolution switching temporarily to other dns servers can solve the issues

these guys DNS servers seem to return results for most of the affected domain names.
