Does anyone have anyway of finding the site, it's been gone since saturday evening!

http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/index.php

Everytime you try that link it goes to a youtube video page. And when you try the master link..

http://www.airsoftforum.com/

It takes you to a very long video documentary on Youtube.

Can anyone find out what happened?

Works fine for me. Flush your DNS.

Doesn't for me...

How does one flush their DNS?

Open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns"

Tried that, the link still takes me to that video...

Well, the site works for me. The site IP is 75.126.115.240. So if you do an nslookup and get anything other than that, it's a DNS problem.

Thank you for the tip, I tried it, but to no avail. How does one get around a DNS error or use that IP address to find the website?

Just put the IP address in the address bar.

It looks like their DNS entry is messed up, I even used their authoritative nameservers and they come up with the 64.202.189.170 address. If your DNS entries are older then you'll probably have the old 75.126...etc address but the refreshed address points to that youtube video.

In that case it will probably take a day or two for the new DNS entry to propigate.

Thank you very much for all the help, I really appreciate it.

EDIT - It's been confirmed on other forums the admin did this on purpose and it's all part of a "Operation Sheeple" that has been in the works for sometime now. I for one will never be posting on those forums, nor will I endorse them any longer.

Why not... you afraid the government will exterminate you for be associated with them? Honestly I don't care what the admins convictions are, he has a good forum, so I'm all about being part of it... if he stops being dumb and puts it back up that is

I am not afraid at all. I am however a US Marine and take great offense to what he did.
