pbn not loading on network

azndave · 02-17-2012, 11:01 PM

Hi guys,

I have this issue with pbnation.com not loading on my school network. I am writing this from my phone, because when I try to open pbn from my computer, it gives a "could not open" error. It wontopen in chrome/IE/etc, so it is not a browser issue, and it won't open on another computer on the same network.

Thoughts? I am experiencing pbn withdrawal.

Is anyone looking into this?

It has be something on your end. It isn't anything on ours, or more people would be having the problem. Maybe your school did something to their network to not allow PbNation? I would check with them.

It works now. Interesting though, it stopped for the past 24-28 hrs without any hint of a reason why. Hooray college internet

Probably something goofy happening with your school's DNS server. If it happens again, you can always set your computer(s) up to use a different DNS server (OpenDNS or similar).

PBN is being funky again. I just checked with several members and they are having the same issue. I'm using IE and have cleared my cache (several times) and restarted my computer (twice). Other websites are working just fine.

PBN is VERY slow to load pages. It is also very slow going from a general public page to the site after log on.

Just thought I'd pass this along since I am not the only one having this issue. Thanks.

I noticed that too, Kyle probably dropped one of the wrenches he was juggling on top of one of the server racks. Clumsy idiot.

Didn't see anything when OP was having issues, though, which leads me to believe they're separate incidents.

I'm pretty sure the recent hiccup can be contributed to the sudden influx of nearly 5000 people in Small Talk. A thread was posted to reddit and it attracted some attention.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: change the homepage title back to "PBNation: Home of deer gore (and some paintball stuff)".

My bookmark for PbN still says that from many moons ago.
