Is anyone else having problems with blackboxvoting.org?

I have been trying to access their website for days, with no luck. Is it just me or my computer, or are they down?

5. yes, from windows

it's weird -- at work -- i cannot connect from my windows 2000 box, either from IE or firefox. the index page title loads, but the page contents never display. but bbv.org works fine in firefox from my linux box.

15. The online signup form works even though they say it doesn't

and don't bother with crew@blackboxvoting.org. I've been emailing it for 2 weeks with no response. I think they are busy in Florida and decided that it was more important to be there than to take care of the site or answer email.

7. I haven't been able to get on either, the page will access

but not open up. If others have been able to get there, I'd say just keep trying, or try to get there from a link, possibly, or try at different times of day. Sometimes I can get there at night.

9. Maybe a DNS problem related to your provider ...

Try running the command "ping blackboxvoting.org" or "ping www.blackboxvoting.org" to confirm if your computer is trying to connect to the correct IP number. It should be 69.73.175.180 for now (subject to change if BBV changes their hosting arrangements).

11. I have never been able to get that site to load . . .

:cry:

I haven't tried again lately. My connection is so slow that trying to access that page slows down my browsing in all the other pages I have open.
