Tried to go there today and I get a 403 Forbidden error message. Is BoLS down or are they starting to ban people now? Never seen a Forbidden error message before.

Up-status-checking websites are saying it's up, but I'm seeing the same message. Not sure what's going on.

A 403 doesn't come from you being banned, it means the server has an issue where it's trying to find a file (ostensible index.html or equivalent) and is having a permissions issue. Probably something got reset on their web server and is causing the problem.
