Title: SimHQ?
Post by: Jarhead0331 on November 05, 2012, 07:28:38 AM
Anybody know what is up with Simhq.com?  Hacked? Forget to pay the bills? Technical problems?  Either way, I get taken to register.com when I go there indicating the domain name is up for grabs.  Hope they are ok.

That is really weird.  I'm still getting the register.com pop-up.

Try with a different browser maybe?  I just checked again and the site still loads up fine for me.

I just cleared the cache, logged off my workstation and logged in again.  I'm still able to access the site.  I also tried with my iPhone and I'm able to get to SimHQ from there as well.

Might it be region specific?  I seem to recall reading something similar happening a few months back where some people were able to log into a site but others in different regions of the globe couldn't.

Someone at SimHQ said to try this.

Might try flushing DNS.
At command prompt (at "run", type CMD and enter):
ipconfig /flushdns
and enter.
Try the site again. Probably take care of itself in time though.

Register.com here.  Maybe those who can get in should notify Rim HQ.
