It’s a nasty habit, I know, but about once a day I look in on ol’ Rev.“God Hates Fags” website.
Very late Thursday I got a “The page cannot be displayed” advisory. The same thing happened yesterday and just now. It’s been nearly 48 hours.
Could it really be? Is the nasty cleric off the web?
It might be that it’s under a denial of service attack. In the Columbia, MO dopefest thread, I posted a few weeks ago that his site seemed to be down, but later it loaded about halfway before pooping out. Either way, I hope www.godhatesphelps.com gets registered as a domain name soon.
I’m familiar with the concept of “know thine enemy,” but isn’t once a day more knowledge of Fred Phelps than anyone would want to have?
It’s not working for me. I’m not one to condone denial of service attacks if that is the cause, but if he voluntarily took the site down, it would most assuredly be a very good thing.
Hey, maybe Phelps finally found Jesus!
I’m of two minds when a site like that is removed. I like the opportunity to be able to see into their minds sometimes, a desire much like that to see a really gory horror movie.
Apologies for the hijack, but this seems as good a place as any to ask…
Is anyone else unable to load the anti-Phelps site God Hates Fundies? I know the person who runs it is a poster here, but I forget who. Is it just me or has something happened to the site?
I’m glad that the Phelps site is down. I find lunatics like Jack Chick amusing in a twisted sort of way, but Phelps is just… blech
Nope, I can’t get it to work either.

Ha ha!

(Or God Hates Fundies, too bad, that one is cool)
It’s been loading really slow the past few weeks, and now it gives me a “Server cannot be found” error. Phelps is probably just having server problems.
Or it could be the evil God-hating fag pimps 
www.godhatesamerica.com is still going strong, and godhatesfags.com is mirrored there – so I think we can safely rule out contrition.
I wonder if it’s a DoS attack, or if he has just incurred the wrath of the Host?
Five days down now, eternity left to go!
Maybe Jesus found Phelps, and kicked his fucking ass.
“Turn the other cheek? Screw that noise, you knuckle-dragging troglodyte! Hikeeba!”
I was able to load it earlier today, although it was VERY slow. It had a message like “if the page is loading very slowly visit our mirror at (wherever)” so I suppose they are having network problems (as opposed to just the mental problems they usually have).
Seems to be loading now, though that might just be the cache.
Well, sh*t, I just tried it and it popped right up. I had begun to hope it was gone for good.
His web guy was probably away.
See, Fred was here in town, picketing and condeming children to hell. An asshole’s work is never done, I suppose.
Well, it’s been down for the last day again. I’d noticed that even when it was up(excuse the expression!) that it wasn’t being maintained or added to. Used to be you could find a new flyer or picketing site almost every day. But from the time it came back to last night, no new material was added, or very little.
One can only hope.
fredo runs God Hates Fundies, BTW.
Hate to be a nitpicker, but in the interest of searching for his username/profile, it’s friedo.
