What happened to the Minutemen?

[ChiefPilot]

It looks like their web site at http://www.minutemanhq.com is down. Anyone heard anything about what's going on?

 

[longeyes]

It's up. Fear not.

I haven't been able to get to it for two days from two different locations (work & home) - very odd.

Am I the only person not hearing about them on the news lately?

I just clicked on the link in your post and got the site. You can get a temporary fix at http://www.sierratimes.com/minuteman.php

Well, you know how it is. With so many being older and retired, they just don't move all that fast. Be patient. Minuteman response times aren't what they were 230 years ago.

A little more sleuthing shows that it's just connections through my cable modem provider that have problems - machines connected to other providers (QWest DSL, for example) don't seem to have a problem. I can get to the site without issue if I route to a proxy on a co-located server I have located in another area.

If I wore a tinfoil hat, I might wonder if Comcast is filtering access to the minuteman site.

Went there with your posted URL wit no problem. Maybe they had a temp problem.

Comcast is my internet provider. I cannot access the Minuteman site.

It's working for me, but with our President - the greatest leader of our time - calling them "vigilantes" I'm not going to spend any time visiting them.

 

[MikeyBee]

Are you with Comcast?

 

[TarpleyG]

I have BellSouth DSL and can get there fine.

No problem getting there on Roadrunner.

 

[Zedicus]

The access problem is down to 2 main Internet providers are having a "Disagreement" of sorts and are blocking each others customers.

Individual ISP's are unfortunately caught in the crossfire, and there customers aren't able to get on many sites.:banghead:

I'm on Comcast and as of 9:00 pm Friday night it's completely accessible. Has been for the last 4 hours. Couldn't say about earlier since I didn't try until I came across this thread.

Well, what do you know? I can access it now, too.

As can I. I think Zedicus nailed it - I remember reading something about that on Slashdot recently.
