Is AFF down?

[MrMaxwell]

Hasn't been working for me, all day,
W3 link checker says it's working..
I've been to ALOT of sites today without issues..

Thanks.

It is loading fine for me.

probably just a glitch in the matrix

It could be a routing problem with your ISP. Mine does that from time to time and I contact my host thinking my sites are down when in fact they aren't. Doing a traceroute will usually tell you that much. If that is the issue it is usually fixed within 24 hours on my end.

On a side note, when I want to do a remote test to check the status or lag time of a site, I use pingdom tools:

EXACTLY what I was thinking..
Fucking cox cable never has been a genius with their routing.
And W3 said it was loading fine, too...

Then I did a traceroute

I don't know what the fuck to make of this but I don't think I can blame cox for THIS one. I cleared the dns cache and everything. What the fuck is this fucking thing fucking doing?
Thanks

Apparently Spybot S&D put something into HOSTS making it redirect me to the loopback thing
I fixed it
