I haven't been able to reach the DeviantArt site in a couple of days. Does anyone know what's going on over there?

DA has been know to IP ban people...and others get caught in the crossfire, just for being with the same provider, etc.


I had just this happen 2 years ago. I couldn't figure out what I did to get banned & they said it was someone using the same provider. They suggested I have a friend (with a different provider) renew for me since Bellsouth.net was banned. Luckily I have a Roadrunner account as well so I could do it myself. Kinda ticked me off tho........

I think at one stage they excluded every AOL account...as they were getting specific trouble from a few there...

That was a fair few years ago, now...

Hey Dudes,

 

AGAIN.... DEVIANTART DOWN - june 17 2009

Simple thinking...

The reason is "CoolIris" a new Firefox Plugin to view 3D images flows like a gallery road.
The search engine DeviantArt is baked into CoolIris plugin for you browser. So if people seach for Pictures in CoolIris under DeviantArt. hmmm....You all can amagion that to many traffic wil dump on DeviantArt's IP server
CoolIris works without "pagenext" to view some next photo's. just scroll endless in rapid speed.
Also DeviantArt have the plugin on serverside to let people view images into CoolIris

I hope DeviantArt will come back in short time IT'S THE BEST SIDE EVER!!!! hehe

 

See for youself on www.cooliris.com and how it works.
It's the best overview to find images

Necrothread resurrectus

Resurrected by a new user that wants to push his Firefox plug in on us...which is probably viral.

Nothing like a 2 year old thread. They seemed to have it fixed now.

And I don't use Firefox.

Firefox plug in on us...which is probably viral.

actually, Coolris is a neat plugin. He speaketh true. I don't think its popular enough to bring DA down though by itself.
