    So what the hell happened?

    I've been trying to get on TGR all day! I kept getting error messages and it would shut down my IE. Anyone else having this problem?

    Yes.

    It's the DNS.

    It's your own fault for using IE. Firefox is your friend.

    It has nothing to do with what browser you use.
    The only thing worse than the feeling that you are going to die is the realization that you probably won't.

    You must have some very special version of firefox. Mine was not able to magically resolve DNS for tetongravity.com during the period that worldnic.com stopped giving out answers.

    Denied access to my drug of choice, until now.

    So what the hell did happen?
    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

    So what was the deal, just out of curiousity.

    Sure seemed like the site was down but I gather it was here all along.

    I was riveted to my TV watching this Miss USA/The Donald thing unfold before my eyes. Tragic, and yet, cause for hope and redemption.

    Our DNS (domain name system) nameservers went down. They are the things that resolve "tetongravity.com" into the numerical IP address that your browser uses to connect to our site. We switched to a different DNS nameserver (it wasn't ns61.worldnic.com this morning) as quickly as we could, but new DNS information takes time to propagate, as local servers update their caches.

    Sorry we weren't robuster. I doubt this particular problem will happen again.

    I think you guys should shut it down for a week, just to see people twitch and squirm.

    DNS hosting is dirt cheap. Might not be a bad idea to use several different providers.

    Actually, a quick google check shows a couple free backup DNS providers out there.
