The reason why LFE was down...
#1
[] 
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 :p

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 :p

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 :(

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......

it seems that some isps simply kicked the internetx listings and didnt take them in again after the attack

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)
