Everytime I click the link to the Off Topic section, I get redirected to the following website:

http://samurize2.com/

I see the offtopic page loading, but then before the thread list fully populates, bam, I am looking at a cybersquater page.

Need to edit your host file for now. Check the other thread about the server downtime.

Do a search on your harddrive for a file named hosts. You should be able to find it that way.

I'm on a mac or I'd edit the host file. But I don't see why I am being redirected AFTER I start loading the off topic page but before the thread list populates...


*edit*
For OSX People...

To find the hosts file in OS X's graphical interface:


1. Open Finder.

2. In the Go menu, select "Go to Folder"

3. Type /etc for the folder name.

4. In the list of files that appears, you should find hosts. Double click it to open it in a text editor.

5. As in the earlier examples, the format of the file is: "204.11.246.1 www.example.com".
