Is the Escapist having server issues or under attack? (Eg. DDOS?)

Maybe it's only me seeing this, but I'm finding the Escapist website is unreachable for like 5-10 seconds every few minutes.

I know there are many possible reasons, but it doesn't seem to be my connection specifically, because no other site I've looked at is doing it, just the Escapist.

So is this just some random fluctuation in the net? Or is the Escapist having issues right now?

Update: It keeps happening. Keep getting "This webpage is not available".

Which is what I would usually get when my internet connection is out, but... Everything else online is loading without trouble...

Very strange.

Does the tab title at the top of the page just read "www.escapistmagazine.com"? It does that for me sometimes, though everything's currently working fine. Drop the Tech Team a line and they'll look into it for you. Maybe the servers thought your PC was a bot for some reason:
