Seriously, for the past 2-3 days every singe time I've tried to get to it as found here: http://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/
All I find is some page asking me if this expired domain name is mine. Has something happened to the company? They had some troubles before, and I hope this problem is just temporary or simply some mistake on my part.
Thanks for any help.
Site is up and functional right now. You may have an issue with your browser, or your dns server does not know about the site and is directing you to its "default", "is this yours" page.

Thanks. I was wondering what was going on.
EDIT: And every time I enter that address this is what pops up in my address bar: http://www.makeyourgamelegendary.com/?f
And I get the same darned 'is this expired domain name yours' page. Oh, brother.
Also, try it by the IP address: 198.20.70.218

Thanks, I'll try it.
*sighs* And no good. I have no idea what's going on here.
Whenever something like this comes up you can also check the site out with the website www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com to see if the problem is on your end or theirs.
I checked it out and they said it's just me. Wonderful. Looks like I lost that site.
Are you at work, and do they have some kind of blocking software?
I know when I am at my (very part time) job, I can not get to a lot of "game" sites, even when going thru the "guest" access.

It sounds like it isn't blocked, but is resolving incorrectly.
Does typing the IP address work? If so, it's a DNS problem. Flush your DNS cache, and/or try connecting to different DNS server (Google has a public server at 8.8.8.8).
Oddly -- now if I close out everything else and type the address in manually rather than go through bookmarks, I can get to it just fine. I don't know if the computer is nuts, or it's me, or what.
And thanks for all the advice.

I think bugleyman is correct. Flushing your DNS cache on many operating systems is an arcane thing that's usually done from a command prompt—google DNS flush cache and your operating system to find out how.
(The DNS entry that's messed up *should* eventually expire on its own, meaning if you can't figure out how to flush your cache the problem should fix itself... but then again, it shouldn't have this problem to begin with, so you may *have* to flush to fix it.)

Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
The issue came up because evidently when we migrated our site hosting to a different company, the domain registration did not get migrated and was still tied to the old HostMonster account, so even though we had paid up for 3 years of hosting the domain name expired separately. I noticed the problem a few days ago and got the domain registry renewed so it should be all better. At least, it opens up fine for me.
Hopefully the suggestions here are able to clear up whatever roadblock is still messing up your access.
Well, I can at least get on the site with my home computer, though it's difficult. I'll have to check on the DNS flush thing when I get the chance, though I'm very leery of 'experimenting' with my computer.

Jason's explanation suggests that the problem should fix itself. Basically, when you visited the site during the transition, the "wrong" info (which was technically not wrong at the time) got cached, and when the cache expires, you should be back to normal. Flushing the cache yourself would get it fixed faster, but if you're nervous about it, it's probably not worth it.

Thanks. I'll check with friends of mine who know more about computers to be doubly sure.

Eric, it's nothing to be afraid of. Yes, it requires using that scary thing called a "command line", but it's a short, simple easy command, regardless of what OS you're using.
