Finally dpreview seems to be down

I see the following error:

4:50pm MDT, I can still get to it. You might have hit it right when they were doing some sort of reset/reboot...

I have been getting the same error and no site access from multiple machines and with different browsers - my iPad, my laptop, my cellphone (from WiFi). But it is accessible from my cellphone if I turn off WiFi and just use the cellular data. So maybe it is not reachable for some Comcast/Xfinity customers?

I'm able to access it. I'm on Verizon.

The problem was there was a settings change in the firewall that dpreview uses which blocked my IP address. The dpreview engineer debugged the problem and changed settings on their firewall which fixed the problem. So all is good now.

Surprisingly very much so still alive! And they have first impressions on the Z8!

They just put up another update. Not a lot of info basically it says they are continuing to function and will give more info at a later date.

Seems like DPReview got sold to Gear Patrol. Can't say I've ever heard of that site before but at least it's continuing on in some iteration.
