It wasn't 404. That implies that you were able to connect to the server, but that the page was not found. This is not what happened.
The DNS server that holds the IP address for the forums was not functioning, so your ISP was not able to work out where TTLG was. If you knew (or worked out, like Nameless Voice) the IP address you could use it normally.

Yeah, I was lazy to limp to nearest DNS lookup... :p

I thought I'd been banned & someone forgot to tell me .....
Well! I'm certainly glad that's over & done with.

Internet Explorer reports almost everything as a 404; you gotta read the fine print to see what it's really bitching about.

I just logged into #thief and asked digi what the ip address was.

I'm Firefox... I say 404 anytime any browser can't find a site just out of habit.

FF was telling me it was a DNS issue.

Does a forum exist of nobody's around to read it?
Only if a tree falls on it.
