I'm having problems accessing the site. I'm lucky to be able to be on right now.

Whenever I try to access the site, I well... can't. It always is the page cannot be found thing and says I failed to connect to the server. It takes me like 30 times to access the site. And sometimes I even have to restart my computer.

I'm not a computer wiz, and I don't really know how to mess around with my Internet options.

If someone could help me, I'd appreciate it. I really like this site, and it would prevent me from coming here if I can't access it. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is NOT your computer. It is a problem I'm having with the webserver. I apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for the positive feedback.

Darmonkey is your server hooked up to your computer via Internet? Or just hooked up?

The server that runs this website is a dedicated server located in a world-class datacenter in Dallas, Texas. It is not running off of a computer sitting in my living room. The server has been compromised from a shared hosting customer that did not keep a web application fully patched. I am doing all I can to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Please have patience.

Actually, it's only about $200 a month. Not quite that expensive. Very Happy
