My guess is they just got DDOSed by an angry costumer.

Likely, but who doesn't love DX?

like he said... an angry costumer that didn't receive the correct shipment or something...

Maybe they started celebrating Chinese New Year?

 

[Uchiha Obito]

i don't think that's a reason to shut down the server xD

 

[AshuraZro]

Volumerate is still up so don't worry.

 

[sgand]

It better be back, I ordered some stuff over the weekend.

 

[kobykaan]

As above its NOTHING NEW it goes down at least once a month (those that check daily will know this!) ... my guess its SERVER OVERLOAD or MAINTENANCE as suggested its a popular site probably used by hundreds of thousands daily

longest I've known it to be down is for a few hours then intermittent then back up fully

 

[damole]

I want to order stuff.

I want that cigarette shaped lighter. Woo.

Don't you know?

They finally managed to back-up the whole world wide web!

Well to explain that:

First of all www.blahblah.com is the same as http://blahblah.com the "www" is actually a subdomain (yes it is!) that points to the root directory. If you check your host's dns config of your website you should normally find it.

Basicly when you see www2 or www3 or something it's just a generally accepted form of having the site on multiple servers (e.g. to have less stress on the hosting server when there's alot of ppl browsing to the site).

So in the end, www2 or www or just nothing at all are all subdomains pointing to something. Hence why you can have www.com it LOOKS like there's no address but in reality it's www.www.com or http://www.com or http://www.www.com

Hope that cleared it up

EDIT:

Why people started using a www subdomain is a mystery to me, it's just more characters to type when you're typing in a website url..
