Title: silvercreator.net is down!?
Post by: Connors on November 26, 2011, 06:13:58 PM
What's up with the site? At the moment I can't connect at all.
EDIT: Cannot find anywhere to download it!
Any thoughts? :C

Thanks again Gan!
Anyone know why I wouldn't be able to get there just from my house? I tried it from a couple computers, different browsers etc. It's weird.

Maybe it's blocked out by your ISP.

Try proxy-open.com.
https://proxy-open.com/browse.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.silvercreator.net&b=4&f=norefer

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize that that site doesn't allow hotlinking.  Go to https://proxy-open.com and type www.silvercreator.net into the URL field at the bottom of the page.

I got in, that's cool! However isn't it a weird issue? I just want to know if anyone has a guess why it's cut off...

There must be a tear in the fabric of the interwebz.
Your request of the website gets sent to the ISP, sent to the DNS, cross checks to find the IP, then is sent to that IP but from the location of your ISP, either the DNS's database result for SilverCreator.net is faulty or there's a gaping hole in the net right next to your ISP that it can't cross over to contact SilverCreator's host.
In short: The bridge from your ISP to SilverCreator.net was destroyed and you have to take the long route over foot hills(proxy) to reach the castle(SilverCreator).
Of course there could be an armada of brigands(censorship) blocking the bridge to SilverCreator.

do you have some kind of parental controls on? cause snet was never down to begin with.

@Gan: Yeah that makes a lot of sense, I looked at google really quick, I think I searched "can't connect to specific website"... One page had a list of things someone tried and maybe if I have the time I'll try it but a lot of it involves Windows specific things... @EqwanoX: No parental controls!
