heise online
The Nameservers of the Hoster InternetX were attacked by a DDoS attack (Distributed-Denial-of-Service). Since they're also responsible for our domain LFE was offline a while - like a whole lot of other sites
A tip for germans: the article I found about this is really great, click on "vorlesen" and see how good a computer can speak german
Edit: here a better article:

Actually, lfe still doesn't work for me. Some people say it works fine, others (including ES, HappyHour, and me) can only access lf-empire.de + all sub-domains via proxy like btunnel.com. Dunno why it doesn't work, though

Some pages work for me, others dont.
FOLLOW THE RULES!
Rule 1: English only (+10%, 1 week)
The forum is a meeting place for people from any nation to talk and have fun. Therefore, to ensure that everybody is able to participate and understand you, please stick to English with proper spelling and grammar.
Rule 2: Think before posting (+10%, 2 weeks)
Spam (posts that contain literally no useful information at all), off-topic discussion, gravedigs (posting in threads that have been inactive for several weeks) or generally senseless posts (posts that are hard or impossible to understand) of any form won't be accepted.
If you want to ask questions, search the Mainsite ( http://www.lf-empire.de) or the forums first to check if your enquiry has been answered elsewhere.
Rule 3: Etiquette (+30%, 2 weeks)
Generally, common sense applies here. Do not offend, harass, curse, show disrespect, or be rude towards anyone. Newcomers shall be treated, like anybody else, with respect.
Additionally, sexual or illegal content (such as pirated software, plagiarisms) are not allowed and will immediately be removed.
Rule 4: No multi-accounting (+40%, 1 month)
You may only have one single account on LFE. Bans will be allotted upon disregard.
Rule 5: Follow posting guidelines (+10%, 2 weeks)
- As LFE offers you to select differently colored themes, submitting posts with excessive color formatting is strongly prohibited as it possibly makes it hard to read them in other themes.
- If you submit an excerpt from .dat-files, use [code=dc]Your code here[/code] for clear presentation.
- Use descriptive titles when posting a thread. “Help” does not tell a whole lot.
- Click the [Solved]-button when a thread of yours has been cleared of your problems.
Rule 6: Follow profile guidelines (+10%, 2 weeks)
- Please keep your signatures under 150 pixels in size, including text. Refrain from using animated pictures as they can take longer to load on some computers. Using sounds or anything which interferes with the forum layout is forbidden.
- Do not upload avatars larger than 100 KB.
Rule 7: No backseat moderating (+10%, 1 week)
If you feel that a person has broken one of the above rules, please use the report-button located under each post. You may write the user a personal message (PM) but do not post in the respective thread to inform about the violation.

I start to hate this server. Our server where several other sites are hosted, too was blocked. Probably because of the flooding attack a few weeks ago (not the DDOS!). Well, now it's gone, LFE was not the bad guy, so live goes on

well great, always when I have some free time, the server isn't responding properly :P
However, I still can't access the server properly, just over a tunnel......

i for example still cant access lfe via my isp in berlin (only through proxies aswell) - tho during the week im staying somewhere else and there it works
now im using opendns.com stuff
(all you gotta do is use their dns addresses - https://www.opendns.com/smb/start/device/windows-xp
no registration or anything required)
