Anybody else having issues with Rootsweb today?

For some reason.....I dunno what it could be, exactly.....I can't access Rootsweb at all. This is the address I normally use, btw: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com

I hope the site hasn't been taken out; I heard there may have been a DDOS attack recently.

To be fair, this wasn't nearly as bad as the Miss Teen S.C. fiasco.

People do forget facts under pressure sometimes.....I know that's happened to me.

But I do know all 50 of the state capitals.

From west to east(P.S. not really in the exact order, however. ):

Juneau(Alaska)
Honolulu(Hawa'ii, our POTUS's hometown)
Olympia(Wash.)
Salem(Ore.)
Sacramento(Calif.)
Boise(Idaho)
Carson City(Nevada)
Salt Lake(Utah)
Phoenix (Ariz.)
Helena(Mont.)
Cheyenne(Wyo.)
Denver(Colo.)
Santa Fe(N.M.)
Austin(Texas)
Oklahoma City(Okla., of course)
Topeka(Kansas)
Lincoln(Neb.)
Pierre(S.D.)
Bismarck(N.D.)
St. Paul(Minn.)
Des Moines(Iowa)
Jefferson City(Missouri)
Little Rock(Ark.)
Baton Rouge(La.)
Madison(Wis.)
Springfield(Ill.)
Lansing(Mich.)
Indianapolis(Ind.)
Frankfort(Ky.)
Columbus(Ohio)
Charleston(W. Va.)
Nashville(Tenn.)
Jackson(Miss.)
Montgomery(Ala.)
Tallahassee(Fla.)
Atlanta(Ga.)
Columbia(S.C.)

Trenton(N.J.)
Albany(N.Y.)

And then, San Juan is Puerto Rico's capital, as a bonus.

Fine, I'll say it. I'm a ("cis") male and guys can be feminists, too.

Well, okay, since others are getting into it, I will, too. Honestly, it does bother me quite a bit when some radfems say that guys can't be feminists, because we aren't women. Well.....that's not true. After all, isn't feminism about supporting equal rights, levelling the playing field as much as possible, etc.? Because, you know what? I support all of these things. Wholeheartedly. Then, if so.....am I not a feminist? Simply because I'm of the "wrong" gender?

BTW, I do realize this isn't so much a problem on DU as elsewhere, but I have heard this a few times on here as well and it IS a little unsettling, TBH. So, reply away, as you will.
