The Connection has Timed Out

Hi,

I'm writing right now because the muse has seized my attention and I'm in full pursuit but alas, I can't even get into my account. After loading the main page, I found that loading my account or log in page just hangs and hangs until....

****Suspenseful music Plays***



I get not my account page but this error message page that is all too familiar if you frequent FF.net:


The connection has timed out   Duh, no really?
                            
        
          The server at login.fanfiction.net is taking too long to respond.  The chimps in charge are out of bananas
           
       
  The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.   What you mean, it's temporarily working and very often unavailable or busy.
  If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.  Loads everything else (except sister site, Fiction Press) just fine.
  If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
  No, No problem here.


So anyway, not much going on except wondering if the site will ever work again. Yes it often returns eventually sometimes sooner rather than later but now my muse will not be realized until some life form at this site if there is one realized he or she flipped the wrong switch to get the reward snack.


Oh I did some additional checking at a site to see if the site is down for everyone or just working on my computer and it's response?


It's not working. Check this out:


It's not just you! http://login.fanfiction.net looks down from here.

Adblocker fail

I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else but I can't get to the ad blocker page. I click the link/button and it loads for so long. It then shows the 'Problem loading page' screen from Firefox. I've left it alone, tried in different tabs, and even refreshed the page but it's not working. I despise the ads and miss the option of being able to disable them for three days and not have to worry about it for awhile.

Edit: Well it's working again. Thank god! I can finally get rid of the ads on the pages again.

Site's Back in Service

I logged in a few moments ago and finally got into my account. I had lots of readers today, but of course no reviews.  Hope it stays up for at least the rest of the weekend.
