51. That site is slow because they won't pay for enough bandwidth

to support even their pathetic traffic. Every time they do an update, the site is down for hours, and gets even slower.

Right now, there's a note at the top of the home page telling people that they've enabled their DDOS protection, but that slowed the site down even more.

If you can get the site to load, do look at the names in the forums. On November 9, some of those names will start appearing again on DU. We should not forget.
