If you've had problems getting on in the past few hours, it's because ProBoards is under a is under a Distributed Denial of Service attack, folks.
Here's the word from Patrick Clinger, one of the ProBoards support technicians:
"Hello,
We have identified an inbound DDoS attack on one of our servers which can cause connection issues for some users.
You can attempt to fix your connection problems by taking the following steps:
Windows Users
1) Close all your browser windows
2) Go to Start -> Run -> Cmd
3) In the black window that comes up, type the command "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter.
Then try to load up your browser again and load your forum.

In the mean time, our team is working to block this attack."
I've offered any help we can give over in the ProBoards support forum, but it looks like they've got things well in hand now.
