Good reference site

Many of you have probably come across this American site but for those who haven't there's a wealth of useful info on it
For example temperatures to watch for on a reflex column when approaching tails was bang on during this mornings run

Their forum archives have a lot of useful info too, but I haven't been able to get them to load for a couple of days now. Is it just me?

Apparently, it is just me.

For some reason, I can't directly access their forums from any of my computers or my wife's. However, I have no problem if I go in via a proxy. No idea what's going on.

Oh well...

The problem is definitely at my end. I haven't been able to access it directly for about a week now, but the forum is definitely active. I can access the main web site and the distillers wiki, but the only way I can read the forums is by going in via www.commieproxy.com

Never mind - stillsmart is much friendlier place anyway!

Did you do something to get banned? They have an itchy trigger finger over there, for blocking IP addresses.

Incidentally, this site is often useful!

I've never posted there, so I don't know how I could have offended them. Unless they are offended that I've never posted there!

... and just as mysteriously as it vanished, my ability to access the HD forums has come back again. No idea what happened, but I'm certain I didn't change anything at this end.
