Am I the only one having trouble getting on the Atlas website? I even get server unavailable when clicking the trainman advertisement to the right.

IT could be they are down since they are in the middle of a hurricane at this time.
I'm in Texas and the Atlas pages load fine.
Depending on who handles their hosting (and where)....there could well be routing issues up in the NE.

It could be; I'm in the same storm and have been up all day.
Perhaps they don't have Verizon FIOS.
I can access every other sponsor link on the forum pages, but still no joy on Atlas O.
I've had problems with the Atlas website on and off for weeks. Call it up and you get an error message; half an hour later everything works fine.
I can't load Atlas either. I exited OGR and tried to load from safari. No luck there either. I'm sure it will be up and running soon.
I can give you a quick update from Atlas. Unfortunately the storm hit northern New Jersey quite hard and there are still wide-spread power outages. Atlas is currently without power and there is no estimation of when it will be back on. Until power is restored our web site will be down and our office will be closed. Many Atlas employees are without power and some have suffered wind-related storm damage at home.
Those of us who are fortunate enough to have power are able to work remotely. Please keep those without power in your thoughts. The forecast is for very cold nights this week in our area...not a good situation.
I was wondering if Atlas was hit by Sandy. Hope all gets back to normal for Atlas and its employees soon.
If Atlas is out of electricity to power everything, how will they be able to take all the orders that are due on November 7th, 2012?

PLEASE, people...give those along the eastern seaboard who have been severely affected by this storm ample time to get their lives back together. Whether it's a case of individuals or businesses, all of those folks have far more important things on their minds at this time than toy trains, and far more important matters to attend to.
The last thing to be worrying about at this point are train orders, preorders, shipping, and the like.
And thanks, Rob, for the update on the folks at Atlas. Do keep us posted when you can. All the best to all on the Atlas crew, as well as their families.
Best wishes to the entire Atlas family and prayers for their recovery.
Some of the stories coming out of NJ about long gas lines (and short tempers) are really scary.
Because the power is out and they need some sort of generation of electricity for refrigeration and radiant heating, which organization will be able to supply the area with a temporary solution?
This storm cancels normal business for at least a month, even if they get electricity and gas back in a week.

I really don’t care much about Atlas anymore since they have jacked up the prices.
They never resolved the issue that they caused concerning the incorrect screws breaking the bolsters on the T-man gondolas either.
I’m done with Atlas O.
Bill Serratelli of Atlas has done nothing for me or my customer to correct the issue in almost a year.
