Anyway, to the question. Last week on Tuesday, I saved my place with a bookmark, as I only read some when I have free time at work, and went home. When I came back to work on Wednesday, all I could get was errors saying the page could not be found. I wasn't too worried since they'd been down for most of a day about a week earlier due to server problems. Only now it's been effectively a week and it's still down.
Does anyone know if the site has changed or if it's down for good or, well, any news at all? I feel like I've turned off a movie halfway.
I think it's just you/your ISP.
It could be an ISP issue like Za said, or perhaps the archive layout has changed. When you go to the home site, is today's comic down for you?
What I'd suggest, is to check the properties of the bookmark and post the URL that you're having problems accessing here. I think they may have changed the format of the archives, and if so, then the bookmark may link to a page that's no longer valid.
Without actually knowing what the URL is, however, I couldn't say for sure.
Okay this is weird and I don't like it

Bajah had this to say about Robocop:
If I type in www.sluggy.com and hit enter, I get the same thing. And I find it odd that it would suddenly get blocked. I mean, I can go to porn sites if I wanted to and they're not blocked. And since I'm in IT and friends with the guys on serverside, I know it's not blocked. I can't even ping the hostname.
Never had a problem with any of the other comics I check daily either. Grr.Okay this is weird and I don't like it
Well, so much for the bad bookmark theory
I tried pinging, no problems here. Downed router in TX, perhaps? Maybe someone overreacted about Rita or something? What's the tracert say?
The tracert gets 3 hops on the internal network and dies, so I'm sure it's a Schlumberger issue, then. I'll assume it's something to do with Rita (they did move a lot of servers and communications equipment to Arlington in preperation for the hurricane). I'll give it another week or so before I whine about it to the guys on the server team.
Hope it's fixed soon.

I read those after a few years... then dropped it again because of Kitten2.
