TehParadox forum problem

**yoco** · 23.04.10, 22:40

So, I'm on this forum

tehPARADOX.COM Online Sharing Community - No stupid slogans here, find out for yourself!

and they've been down for server upgrades or something similair. Now the thing is, this was like 2 weeks ago. Every time I try to open the forum either it takes forever or I get a message "server is too bussy". The reason I'm writing this is cuz I still get messages of post reply on my email, and I asked a few people and they said the forum opened for them. So if anyone has any more info or suggestion what to do.

Try the usual tips, clearing cache and cookies. If you added any entry related to TehParadox to your hosts file, remove it.

Tried with cookies and cache.
Where are hostfiles again?

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

tried using OpenDNS instead of your isp own dns servers?

OpenDNS | Internet Navigation And Security

There's a mini-tutorial on that site:

What is the point of registering in the site then?

I thought by registering they will provide you with the new DNS address

Using the parental controls and features like that.

you don't need to register yoco, just go to control panel -> network(or something) -> find the network adapters -> edit the dns and alternate one to:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

I experience slowdowns with tehPARADOX too..
probably a global thing.. is it in a level that you can't surf tehPARADOX at all?

It opens the site, but then it's pretty much useless, cuz I can't read any thread, it won't open.

forum works fine here. no problems. just clear cache/dns. "ipconfig /flushdns"

So you guys wanna know how I "fixed" my problem?
I first deleted every cookie then I opened the forum and I registered again under different name and email. It works fine. I heard they decided to just simply "block/ban" some of their users. Which brings the question, why me, I never done anything wrong.
