I haven't had any problems

I can access it on my phone and on my iPad.
However, I cannot access it on my work computer, nor my home computer.

same deal here.

I looked around a bit and it looks like this happens from time to time with forumotion. What happens is, since we are hosted on a server with a bunch of other forums, we have a shared ip. So if one of the sites that is co-hosted with us get s flagged by one of the many watch sites all of the other forums sharing the ip get scooped up and blocked by ISP's.

Looks like it usually works itself out, but if it doesn't soon it will be a major downer to my participation. Typing on phones sucks

I haven't had any issues at all. I wonder why some would and others wouldn't

It depends on the ISP, each one has it's own lists of blocked domains and IP's. Some of them are put out by Government orgs, some are put together by different organizations and companies, the ISP's subscribe to whatever lists they think will keep them out of trouble but typically don't control what goes on or off the lists. We like to think that internet is just free and open, but the truth is that almost all of us see the internet through a filter, courtesy of our government and whoever we pay for access.

I'm able to get on now, but it seems to kind of come and go throughout the day, I'm guessing depending on what server my request gets routed through. Hopefully ist's not getting blocked at all anymore, we'll see.
