Hmm... I'm in now, so I suspect it was a problem with domain name service.

Yup, Sun Sims is not 100% reliable, but it's very close. We're on a lightly loaded shared server on pair Networks, fed by 1-terrabit connections to the Internet; couldn't be much better.

I'm pretty sure that Insimenator is hosted in the Dallas Data Center with network connections that are pretty close to awesome but the site is so busy that sometimes the server gets jugged up. More often, it's the database server that gets saturated because vBulletin is a very database-intensive application, especially the way Insim uses it.

Speaking of Insim, I doubt that Kathy would just pull the plug on the site arbitrarily. She gets frustrated from all the grief people hand her, but she's not crazy. In any case, it's a really good idea to have backups of anything you put on any site, including this one.
