Site offline?

For the past few days when I try to go to SA main page, it says Site Offline. Is there an issue with the site?

A few members have contacted us over the past few days with difficulty reaching the new sweepstakes page. Most of the time restarting your computer to update your dns cache or clearing your own internet cache resolves the problem. You might also try using a different web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome or Firefox ) if your cache is stuck in one web browser. Further I suggest using the free DNS service OpenDNS and see if that works. https://www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/opendns-ip-addresses/

**Update** Have also found out that there is a DOS, Denial of Service attack going on today causing trouble for thousands of websites. Using OpenDNS will help in this regard as well.

Thank you,

This past week there were numerous DDOS attacks across the internet. To ensure security this morning we started flagging many user accounts on SA and Plus for a mandatory password reset to ensure security. If you are unable to login more than likely your account was flagged for the password reset. Please use the Lost Password feature here to obtain a new password. Please Do Not use an Old Password as your new password: Please login

*Members who were not flagged for the reset are also encouraged to regularly change their password and also make sure your current email
address is on record.

Thank you!
