Is anyone else having trouble accessing armslist?

Yes- off and on for the last day or so

They are doing maintenance. Don't worry it isn't a liberal attack.

Ha, I was just checking on a post and at first was annoyed because I thought they removed it. Then I was all WTF, why is the site down.

There are already rumors flying around the internet that some anti-freedom folks took it down. They announced earlier that they were taking it down for maintenance and updates.. I think it is taking longer then they thought though.

Quite a few dealers list on that site, kind of screwed things up.
Hey mods, can you explain the reason this happened to a site for us non-geeks?

Looks like an easy way to shut things down.

Seems to be up now. I was on it earlier and it kept going up and down most of the morning,

Been trying to post a for sale ad for a week. Hopefully they fixed it

Oh Thank God it working now!

[KevDen2005]

Mine's definitely not working...I have an ad and I am worried that if it get's deleted I will have to retype the entire thing...that would be annoying.

I have not been able to get on all day. I get this:

not verifiedYou have reached a domain that was pending verification per ICANN rules but has since been verified. It may take 24 to 48 hours for the website to come back online.
As of January 1, 2014 the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will mandate that all ICANN accredited registrars begin verifying the Registrant WHOIS contact information for all new domain registrations and Registrant contact modifications.

Frequently asked questions
Why was my domain suspended?
ICANN requires that the domain registrant's contact information or changes to the registrant's WHOIS information be verified within 15 calendar days. If the data is not verified in this timeframe, ICANN mandates that the website be suspended pending the verification.

How can I remove the suspension on my domain?
The suspension of the domain will be removed after the WHOIS information is successfully verified. Please update the WHOIS information with complete and accurate contact details through your domain service provider. Once updated you will recieve a new verification email.

Once the suspension is removed, when will my website come back online?
We estimate it may take 24 to 48 hours for the website to come back online.

Who is ICANN?
ICANN is responsible for the coordination of the global Internet's systems of unique identifiers and, in particular, ensuring its' stable and secure operation. ICANN maintains policies and specifications for registrars and registrants to abide by.

What is WHOIS?
WHOIS services provide public access to data on registered domain name holders. Registered Name Holders are required to provide accurate and reliable contact details to their Registrar to update WHOIS data for a Registered Name.

^ Thats the message that was freaking everyone out and people were claiming it was shut down etc. Perfectly normal. Don't worry about it, it is back up. They were doing maintenance, could have been switching domains or something like that. They were not shut down, hacked or anything of the kind.

That's the same message I got. I am not really worried about it...just annoyed by it.

Impossible to say as there are so many variables. LOTS of stuff goes on behind the pretty graphics that users see when accessing a server based computer system, particularly an online system. I can only imagine the hardware and software infrastructure involved in a site like Armslist.

Seems to be working right now
