Related: About this forumAnybody else having issues with Rootsweb today?
For some reason.....I dunno what it could be, exactly.....I can't access Rootsweb at all. This is the address I normally use, btw: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com
I hope the site hasn't been taken out; I heard there may have been a DDOS attack recently.

We're sorry, but the website is temporarily unavailable. We are undergoing maintenance to resolve some errors caused by the recent DDoS attack and mitigate future attacks of this sort. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, as this may interrupt the work you’ve been doing on the site over the next several days.
We appreciate your patience and support as we deal with this unfortunate incident against Ancestry.
