AO is the main topic, but you can also talk about things like the latest console game you've played, web comics, movies, music, etc. as they pertain to your AO experience.

Hello there. Is it just me or has AO Froobs been down for a while now?
Searches in Google still bring up forum hits but the page is just blank when I try to load it.

Hmm so what is the difference between our connections and Llie's?
No other computers or mobile devices can load it in our house, these are all on the same network. I thought it might be a modem issue blocking it somehow.
But my work phone which is not connected to the network and is on a totally different connection cannot load it either.
I live in Australia. Dunno if this helps.
I'm missing this awesome Froob resource
Any help appreciated.

It's likely just a timing thing where when she checked, it was working. They could be having any number of issues since there are no errors being thrown indicating that the site is actually "down". It's just not displaying information.
I tried clearing my cache and forcing a refresh, but it didn't change. If they switched hosts, it could be an issue with the DNS not having updated entirely. Since there's no error, it's hard to say
Just keep checking.

They seem to have trouble with their server (maybe overloaded). With multiple requests i either get a 200 response with the page loading (very randomly) or a 200 but a white page (which might indicate a termination of PHP), a 500 (which indicates an internal server error, which might be anything).
Bottom line, the page is not responding well right now. Page loading was only about 1/10 of the requests.

I've only managed the blank white pages.
Asked a few friends to check too, even one in Australia just to rule that out for Scritchin

Blank white page for me as well. I then tried ixquik's proxy server and again got more blank white pages.

It works for me also. Probably, there is something wrong with your service providers.

This was resolved a month ago and the site had in fact been responding oddly due to some changes recently made.
Please make sure to check dates when responding to posts
