Darren Ellis site?

[Dixieblade57]

Does anyone know what is going on with the Darren Ellis site. Yesterday or the day before it was working fine. Today this all I can get, no matter how I try to access it! Its like a pop up or something that keeps the real site from coming up! Even though my pop blocker says it has blocked the pop up!
I even tried deleting my book mark and reinstalling it from the net!:jerkit:

Thanks, Fitz! I also just discovered this link that seems to work!

So guess it is true, "there is more than one way to skin a cat"!
Funny thing is the first one I posted was working fine yesterday, I think it was!

Yes, it works now for me, also; it didn't, earlier.

When Dixieblade first posted it went to one of those pages that has a bunch of different linked terms. It is almost as if it had been pirated to advertise other info based on keywords off the original page. "Buy refractory here", etc. Like what happens when a domain expires and someone scarfs it up and uses it for advertising. I don't know the proper term for it.

Darren has had issues with that link for months. He's worked to straighten it out, but problems seem to creep up periodically. Many people's anitvirus will pop up a warning and block it.

Hey guys, site is back up....domain expired today before I got a chance to renew it, so the site was down for a few hours.

Last week, our ISP got hacked (again), no data was compromised, and Goggle had it listed as an "attack site", which sounds worse than it really was, but it's all fixed now. If anyone is still getting the google warning, clear your browser cache.
