XDA forums broken outside of the US

So for about a week or maybe more (I haven't come to XDA in a long time) the page hasn't loaded up properly.

some styling problems
Having a few images missing here and there but not such a big deal... until today.

I noticed the computer was overheating and checked the task manager to find this:
JESUS!!!
12-15% CPU time and over a Gig used memory on several tabs (already closed in this image).
So I wandered what could be causing this, so I had a quick look under the hood to find this:
humm

It seems the domain of the logo http://ift.tt/26YTfB5 is down or blocked.
Code:

net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
and both Chrome and Firefox keep trying to load it forever.
So taking that in account I used Hola to proxy my way around the problem and sure enough it worked!

I flushed my dns settings just to be sure that the problem wasn't on my side:
Code:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /registerdns
netsh winsock reset

Now I don't know if there is more issues with the pages I didn't debug the page since using a proxy resolved the problem for me but I urge the admins to look at this problem bot client and server side.
PS:I'm in Portugal
