Site Issues

The site was inaccessible to many earlier today. This was due to a DNS issue.

Simplification: DNS is what tells the internet where a site is. hockeyfights.com lives at ______ (IP address).

The DNS simply didn't respond earlier for most visitors, so the servers were all just twiddling their thumbs, waiting for people.

This has been resolved, and will be improved within the next day or two so it does not happen again.

I just see the ''Red Tails'' ad all over the top and sides above the normal ad. It doesn't bother me but it wasn't there earlier. It's like a background I guess you could say.

I thought Red Tails may have been some sort of fetish porn thing but it turns out to be about an action film about a bunch of African American pilots. lol

Then again, just like for the "Congratulations! You won!", I think the Red Tails add is just there for us Canadians.

Ha, I just got it too. I guess I usually check this site from my iPad, and the side borders get cut off. It's less annoying than "Congratulations you won!" Actually looks kinda cool!
