…I haven’t been able to access the website georgewbush.com . At first, I thought that the site was down for a few days, but after a couple of weeks, worked out that there was no way I was getting in! I have tried to access it through netscape and internet explorer, to no avail. Is the site blocked to international viewers? Or is there something wrong with my connection? Any other kiwis having this problem?

[edit] on preview before posting, I found that through google I can get to a cache of the front page, but can’t get to any of the links on the page… [/edit]

Works for me, in the US.

I can get on.

Works fine for me, up here in the Great White North.

Just tried it from Australia. No access for me (using Internet Explorer). Gives a timeout message.

Hmmm …

Could it be a time of day thing? Maybe during our antipodean day it is down for backups or updates or whatever. On the other hand that seems unlikely.

Any UK dopers tried?

I’ve also just tried from Australia and got in straight away.

It’s the vast right-wing conspiracy. They don’t want you there. :smiley:

…oddly enough, I’ve tried to get into the site at all times of the day and night the last couple of days before I posted(I lead a boring life :wink: ) , and haven’t been able to get in… Thanks for letting me know that I’m not crazy and everything though, I was getting worried for a minute that it was only me!

Didn’t work for me either. They don’t want us peeking!

Working fine in France

When I was traveling in Thailand (feb/mar-04) I couldn’t reach it either. I tried a few different internet places but still couldn’t get in. I had the feeling, rightly or wrongly, that it was being blocked by someone, somewhere. And Thailand is relatively pro-US, heck, they even have troops in Iraq.

Ironically, I can easily reach the site in France and Belgium…

Hey Powers106, email me if you have any tips on Thailand. Going there next month…

I got in from Iraq.

I’m trying my darnedest to make the site connectable for web surfers everywhere.
Please be patientious.

…sorry to bump, but just found this article…

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0921-03.htm

…about certain ISP’s whose access has been blocked to this site:

because of fears of hacking… My assumption would be that www.georgewbush.com has been blocked to certain ISP’s, which would explain why some people in Australia could access the site, while others couldn’t…

Just my WAG! (Always wanted to use that phrase!)
