I am having major trouble visiting wickedlasers.com. I hope they are just having some maintenance performed! This doesn't look good folks. I have tried all day. Anyone know anything?

I cant get in either.

Lets just hope the site isn't down..and they didn't decide to 'go out of business' after getting a bunch of laser orders. But I seriously doubt thats the reason.

The thing is, it probably wont get fixed until late tonight since they are in China and the time difference is about 12 hours from the US I think. So right now they are all sleeping.

Anyone wanna speculate on their outage being a DOS ? (Denial Of Service) They made quite a few folks pretty ticked off.....especially by banning those that were voiceing their opinions. I didn't get banned, as I didn't speak up - but the whole banning from a forum thing is kinda much in my opinion - and that is what forums are for, right ? Opinions ? Anywho - just my $.02.

yea i thought it was excessive too
banning old customers, not a smart business plan
but it did the job, shut people up and started thank you threads

I thought some of the sucking up was excessive too
