Anyone looked at the MIMF today?

If this is not a hack it looks like the domain has expired - I am sure they will be back shortly once this is resolved.

I was on this afternoon.

Doesn't work now.

Didn't work for me just now. Maybe it's coming up for you out of your cache, Rod. Can you navigate around the MIMF?

Yup no problems at all for me. I just went to several sections of the forum that I never go to. No problems at all.

You've all been banned

worked fine for me all day, and moments ago, also.

I'm getting a 404 Not Found. Hang on that's the bookmarked address.

Via Google, the domain's expired.

Wonder if they had a move, like the OLF?

Might it depend on the browser we're using?

I also get the expired domain name. I tried accessing from "My favorites"..."Google:...and "www.mimf.com" directly.

All three give the same message.

So far, only our Canadian brethern, Mario and Rod can log in...wonder if that has any meaning? And I'm sure the thread is sure to take a turn postulating on that issue until we have a rational answer. Here's my take:

Canadian Terrorists (an angry semi-pro hockety team) made a raid into Maine in the dark of night, abducted Deb and are establishing a shadow government.

Too late, Greg...an elite group of OLFers in Man-Bags, headed by our own Colonel Billy Dean Thomas have been scrambled and have embarked upon a rescue mission to free Deb and the most-valued MIMF Archives.

This mission is above Jack Bauer's pay grade!

I just heard from Mark Swanson...he said it's the biggest crash he's seen but hasn't heard anything yet as to when it will be back up. I'm sure Deb is doing her best.

In the meantime, Colonel Billy Dean Thomas and his OLF team are closing in on the rescue mission. I would expect to have a direct report from the good Colonel late this morning or early afternoon.

The terrorists are demanding that a team of dentists and oral surgeons be sent to the location...and of course, more beer. Officials believe they intend to change their identity and blend in with the local population.

Truly bizzare.... Here's a screen capture I just took. All looks normal.

Very strange. I brought up a few pages fine at first, but once I hit the "refresh" button I started getting either blank pages or a "domain name has expired" page. Strange...

Forum administration enables the manager to block sections of IP addresses, and numbers within that range. We do this on an internet forum I moderate in to prevent recurring trollers/spammers.

There are certain IPs that would pertain to sections of the world, for example, 80-90.0.0.0 addresses often are European amognst others, and I am wondering if the administrator accidently set a wide range IP ban, blocking out pretty much the rest of the world!!?

So Mario can still get it, it's possible to block regional or national IP addresses, it's all starting to make sense.

Somehow I just knew there was a Canadian behind this. How much more proof does an American need?

I think it's time we invaded.
