I basically can't connect to the forums 80 percent of the time. I know they aren't down so it's something to do with my connection or the website itself..
I usually get a windows saying can not connect to the site make sure you've spelled it right. This problem occurs like 95 percent of the time when I try to join the forums from my laptop.

try start > run > cmd > ipconfig /flushdns and then restart your computer.

also when the forums are down, try going back into start > run > cmd and typing ping steamgamers.com and see if you can even ping it

I can 100% say it's the site and not you. I've had so many people asking my when the site will be back up, when I'm actually surfing it... You just need to wait for the site to finish configuring it's DNS. Saying that, I wouldn't of thought it would take this long...

If you just use Google DNS or OpenDNS the site loads fine.

I used is it up website and it said the site was up. This crap happens around 9pm EST or later. I tried pinging the servers now and it worked fine but after 9pm the ping test fails.
