as the title says I can't get onto bartertown, and was wondering if I am the only one? this is troubling as I need to complete a trade and without access to the site, I can't get the address to send to.

Edit:
its working again, stupid internet.

So I have noticed some issues with this recently. Seems to be up and down some.

Regardless whether I'm logging in from work, home, my wife's work, or my mom's place, I have not had any problems getting on BTown after the recent outage caused by the hosting company.

I've been having trouble getting to the BT site again today. Has anyone else experienced this problem yet, or is it just me?

I was mid-post when it went down on me. I'll be emailing all of the usual suspects.

It just worked for me but it's been hit or miss all weekend. I've seen it go down for at least a half hour (usually I just try a few hours later in the day if that is the case) to a few minutes.

I was on, composing a PM to somebody I shipped to in Canada, because they were expected to pay $65 in (Word Dakka Mods don't like us to use as a pejorative...) government fees that the UPS store failed to inform me of. I had just finished the PM and hit the submit button when it went down on me, and so I can't get on, so I don't know if the damn PM got sent.

Well, I was finally able to get back on Bartertown and send a PM to the person I am dealing with. I've had lots of trouble with the internet in general lately, getting kicked off without warning, pages loading slow (I mean BOLS slow, and BOLS is occasionally even slower than usual, if you can believe that.) It's probably more government interference.

Well, I had issues on Sunday with occasional down-time. Don't know what's causing it.
I suggest a measure I always use, regardless of the site I'm using: Afer writing your message, do a quick highlight/copy before hitting "send," just in case.

Another brief spurt of down time last night. I emailed some specifics to the site owner and lead Admin to be sure they knew the specifics of what was going on.

Hey Erik, just a heads up-I got a "virus blocked" message from avast when I went on Bartertown just now. It appears there may be some kind of virus/worm/malware being attached to your site. Thought you'd want to know and check it out.

Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I haven't had any issues like that. I doubt it's true (probably a false hit), but I'll pass it on, regardless.

Thanks.

I ran searches through a couple sites that check to see if a site is infected or safe. Both came through with flying colors.

Awesome news it's still safe, but I can't seem to get on this morning. It keeps saying server not found. On my iPhone, but I've never had trouble getting on before. Just a heads up

I was offline all last night watching the World Series game 6, but I tried to get on as soon as I saw your messages.
I got in from work with no problem. Only the very slightest delay which is hardly even worth mentioning.

Hey Eric,

Seems like there's a lot of traffic or maybe there's just some site issues still. I've had nothing but problems trying to get on from home/phone/work today. Hope nothing too complicated is going on, I have stuff to sell :p

Ya I've had issues today also. Yesterday, the firewall at my work blocked it due to "suspicious activity". But none of the antivirus programs on my computers have seen anything.

I <3 Bartertown, hope you guys can figure it out. Thanks for your hard work Eric!

The site's up and down sporadically again (still, for some of us).
I received word that the site owner (Adam) is aware of it. Typically, that means he's going to get to it ASAP... like, when he gets home from work. lol

Apparently, it's an issue with our hosting site. I believe he may be heading down there to work over the CEO. lol
