This is strange, i went out for a few beers and came back and cant load this site or xfire, i am here now using a proxy IP which seems to work, it's like i have been Ip banned lol from here and xfire or could it be something else ?
any help would be appreciated thx

How many beers did you have?

You haven't banned or blocked in any way from our end.

Try using a different DNS server.

I was having problems with Xfire earlier also. Its working fine now.

Yea might be my isp, never had this before, just seems to be this site and xfire tho i did use this proxy on the xfire site and it came up with maintenance tho u would think the xfire app would connect.
Edit: yea xfire app works now

@Polaris573 not that many lol, well enough but not enough to become a noob at pc's

Since you are in the UK and the servers are in the US, it could be a minor glitch in the transatlatic cables or something.
disclaimer : I could be completely wrong.

Seems fine now, must have just been my isp

I was getting the same thing. I was still getting email alerts, but trying the site timed out. Pinging it timed out, too.

Has there been any sort of DNS reconfiguration either with TPU or externally somehow?

there was a us connectivity issue for some european users a few hours ago, wasnt tpu's fault

probably that

=======================================================================
SoftLayer Emergency Maintenance - GLOBAL [12/30/2010]
Date: Thursday, December 30, 2010 (12/30/2010) Start Time: 05:00 PM CST End Time: 07:00 PM CST Services affected: Public / Private Network
Location: Global
Duration: 2 hours

==================================================
SoftLayer Engineers will be performing emergency maintenance on BBR01.EQ01.WDC02, BBR02.EQ01.WDC02, and BBR01.WB01.SEA01 in an effort to correct routing issues customers are currently experiencing to various destinations including AT&T residential services. In conjunction with Cisco, Engineers have identified a bug that has resulted in the router entering a degraded performance state. To correct this degraded state, the router must be reloaded.

Customers can expect to see latency / packetloss as routes reconverge across redundant routers on both the public and private networks. While the maintenance window is set for 2 hours, we expect the maintenance to take no longer than 20 minutes during each router reload.

Customers in the Seattle datacenter will lose backend connectivity to all other datacenters (local Seattle private network traffic will not be impacted).
