Seriously wasn't trolling... idk what just happened but about 10 minutes ago when I loaded it I got a single page in some other language that translated to: this has been taken down for criminal actions of 4chan.org, blah blah, and cited some law and the law's ID number.

Now I can get to it again.

Sorry guys, as you were.

Apparently it's from Turkey. I should have immediately done a tracert.

Following this thread. Please update if something comes up.

Are you anywhere near Turkey?

No, and neither is my IP, and neither is 4chan's IP.

This sort of thing has happened before when a country tries to ban a site via BGP, but their ban propagates to other countries. It's a terrible system. That may be what happened here.

Works fine for me. Probably troll post.

Probably. Unless you bothered to read the rest of the thread.

Oh, unless you meant your post, in that case I agree, you got me.

[MysteryMiner]

No, I have read the thread and the turkish message of blocking makes no sense. Unless You were using proxy located in Turkey.
