Not able to access MD Shooters

jpo183 · Jul 9, 2013

I know there is a "site running slow / script error" thread.

But there are many people including myself not able to access the site at all.

I have been trying to access the site from my home since Saturday afternoon and not having any success. I get an error like the website does not exist.

I am using GC and FF. If I access the site via my sprint phone using the cell network I can access the site.

Just a suggestion (it happened to one of my sites) sometimes the hosting company will block IPs that it deems "unsafe" without the domain owners knowledge. This happened to my business site for a client and I use immotion hosting.

I'd appreciate some feedback from one of the admins as the FB site is not getting responses from admins (I did get one but nothing after that)

Have you tried getting rid of all mdshooters references in your cookies/exceptions list etc?

I am one of those, but still haven't been able to narrow down the problem.

I am going to attempt to obtain a new IP for my home system this evening, since I know the ISP hasn't blocked the MDS site (another member is on the same service).

I would try getting rid of cookies first.

It could be mdshooters side denying accesss to your IP addy.

Cookies long since tossed.

This is happening on every PC in the house (and several other members too), so it's looking like a systems thing... just not able to sort out which system yet.

Ditto. Atlantic Broadband is my ISP.

I had the same thing happen to me while registering last night. I got an e-mail to activate my account and then it kept reading Error 403 whenever I tried to access the page.

Fortunately it seems to be working fine today.

I think that some of you are being auto added to the firewall. Some browsers make a ton of simultaneous connections and it triggers the script that is in place to stop DDOS attacks. I'm on travel and busy so I haven't had much time to deal with this unfortunately, but I've just informed my host and hopefully we will find a solution soon.

Let us know if you need our actual IP addresses to whitelist. I've been either tethering or using a proxy for the last week. I thought that perhaps my machine was being used in an attack, but I've been running Little Snitch and Sophos and I'm clean.

on a completely different system right now, and no issues

will be staying on alternate for a few days, and then try firing up the 'usual' gear

If you are being blocked please PM me your IP address.

Not going to be able to check for a bit, but at least I'm on anywhere else I go.
