Bloody JeffK!!

Ah, this explains it. The other day I tried going to the-magicbox.com - down, Magicbox forums - also down, gamers.com - down, gamerankings - down. Needless to say I was outraged Interestingly enough, while the main magicbox site was down, the mirror site, come.to/magicbox.com, was fully operational.

This explains a lot. No wonder I couldn't get into the-magicbox.
