Maybe this is an odd question about 'imdb'...

Is there something wrong with imdb.com? Maybe I've gotten some kind of bug or something, but I can't access it anymore.

For the last two days I keep getting a window that says "www.imdb.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again." Even googling it and trying the links provided comes up with the same problem. :wall (I've even tried using different browsers...)

Is it REALLY gone?? :eyecrazy Or is it on some extended hiatus that I'm not aware of...

Whoa! They can ban you? :eyecrazy

Wow... Haven't done anything as far as I know... I just go there to check titles. I've left a message or two on their forums, but that was a looooong time ago [probably 2 years], and absolutely nothing I wrote could be construed as 'inappropriate' or 'inflamitory'...

Geeze, that's really weird...

Oh well, thanks for the info, and sorry to pester people with my problems... ;)

Could have been a problem with your DNS (domain name server). These are designed to rebuild themselves every couple of days or so, which is why you no longer have this problem.

If you want to know if you are banned, use proxy page like this one. ;)

To be honest I was just kidding.

So they can ban you?

I found a thread there that was for fans of Téa Leoni.
I announced that I thought she looked like Tom Cruise (which she does), and the reaction were priceless.

So im sure ill be next for the chop lol
