Been getting 403 Forbidden on my iPhone

Just today I've been getting "403 Forbidden" message when trying to access Democratic Underground on my iPhone via Safari. I can access DU without problems on my WIndows PC using Chrome. I tried closing all apps on my iPhone, restarting it, and opening DU again, but keep getting the same error. I can open all other sites OK. Any ideas what's causing this?

and some DNS-related hiccups since something got changed in the last day or two.

I'm guessing someone is tinkering under the hood... Hopefully it will get sorted out soon, it's getting worse.
