This board is a poor substitue for /v/, but it's impossible to get there now.

Ok, i found the fix for getting these boards to work again! Strangely, the fix was posted to an Australian board almost 2 years ago. All you have to do is do a search of your computer for a file called "hosts" (no quotes). it's in the C:/Windows/system32 folder if you want to cut down on search time. now, once you found the file, open it in notepad and look for any lines pertaining to 4chan.org (there will be an IP address followed by (something, in my case "bin").4chan.org. all you have to do is delete any lines pertaining to 4chan and then hit save. and the boards will work again!

Why did you put those lines in your /etc/hosts file in the first case?
This was when they got new servers and the ip address changed and mooty put up a post saying how the dns hadn't propagated yet so for the time being we needed to edit the hosts file ourselves.
