Cant access Iboats from Oz

[Rule303]

For the last couple of weeks, I haven't been able to log on to any Iboats website, forum etc. I'm located in Brisbane, Australia and there has been some talk on local websites about this, so I'm not the only one. Apparently it happens from time to time, if you try to log on from an Australian ISP, it acts like the site doesn't exist. I've discovered that using a US based proxy site allows me to log on ok, but its a bit cumbersome. Does anyone know why this is happening?
cheers

Southern Asia is being blocked due to spam/hacker attacks on the iboats server. Australia is caught under the blanket, an unfortunate side effect. This happens from time to time, the only way to log on is through a proxy.
