Hi. For about a week, I cannot get to the Dwarf Fortress wiki, getting the following error:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
 
  Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

Since I am posting this, I am pretty sure I am connected to the internet. There are no typing errors since I just followed wiki links posted here and I am pretty sure wiki itself is fine since people here keep liking to wiki, which makes me think wiki is up and running.

But for some reason, it is not running for me  

I used to connect to wiki fine and read a lot of useful stuff there. But then it just stopped working. i thought it was some maintenance or something, but it seems that something is wrong with my connection to it. any ideas about why I can't connect and what can I do to fix it?

Thank you!

Isn't it working?
Do you try to press "reload" on that page?

No and it hasn't been for about a week for me  

Also, where is the reload button? I tried refresh, tried loading it several times throughout the week, but no luck.

What browser are you using?
Also maybe there's something with redirection?
Try this: http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Main_Page

Apparently he's using IE, according to the error message.

Sounds strange. No problems for me, just tested it with both IE and firefox.

From where do you try to access it? I mean from a school or something? Maybe the page got blocked somehow?

Firefox and Internet Explorer. Neither is working.
http://www.dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Main_Page  is not working either...

From home. I am renting a room in a house and don't know if landlord blocks anything, but I really doubt he'd block wiki. I was able to access it before, but one day it just stopped working...

Have you tried clearing your browser's cache? Just crap-shooting possible answers here.

Did it before and did not work... Did that a few hours ago and did not work. Tried again a few times and it did not work...

And now, 5 minutes ago, it WORKED. I honestly did not do anything!  It just started working on its own. I think the problem is that my computer is starting to have a mind of its own and is probably planning destruction of humanity right now...

Thans for help everyone!

Somehow it does not surprise me that Skynet has its origins in Dwarf Fortress. It seems... poetic.
