No problem; site loads fine. (after remove extra characters)
Might be an IP ban, I know I have done such things to competitors I didn't want snooping around... but for 8 years? I doubt you've had a single static IP that long. Also, although it doesn't take much to implement, the site looks like its owners probably lack that kind of sophistication.
When you see the site as down, have you tried going to the site through a proxy?
try this:
