Something's Up !
Someone (probably complich8) changed something (probably a DNS entry). You should check again in however long the DNS timeout is (which should be about 3 or 4 hours).

It has been 3 days since he was able to access gotwoot from his house. I have not encountered this on my home pc. Should he change something in his internet setting? Thanks!

Clear history or try a different browser.

Which one? Clear history or using a different browser?

Clearing history worked for me. Although I was away only one evening due to it. When DS mentioned the next morning on irc he never had any problems, I checked the forums from my phone and they worked perfectly. That told everything that needed to be told.

Something stupid like this is definitely something Mozilla should fix. I only use Firefox so I don't know if other browsers suffer from such idiocy.

I had that same problem, wasn't able to access GW for like a day and a half until i tried Internet Explorer instead of Firefox and it worked, so i cleared the cache in Firefox and it started working fine again.

Well assuming you didn't use the other browser to access gotwoot for a while, it'd be the same thing as clearing history/cookies/cache. I don't remember which of those holds DNS info, most likely cache.

@Kraco: I had the same problem with Chrome.

Why the hell would having two usernames make one more accessible than the other?

And you know some of us converse off GW forums.

I had the same problem. Couldn't access the forums on Chrome for days. Then though, "Hmm, maybe I got banned."

Opened an incognito window in Chrome and was able to get in fine.

Read this thread, cleared my history, and now it works again in non-Incognito Chome.

You sound guilty of something.

Well, I am being quite a dick in the Hunter x Hunter thread.

Munsu wouldn't be as petty as to ban you over that.

Assassin and Xan totally would, but not Munsu.

Is this the first time DE has posted in OT?
