I've been getting knocked off too. We get hit by DOS attacks every so often. Or it could just be a busy server, although the board doesn't seem to be that busy.
It took me four tries before I could even get to TOL. And, the last time, I got made and instead of hitting "home" on my browser, I typed in www.truthsmack.com
Then, after I signed in, I couldn't even get to the "active" page for 1/2 hour. Kept getting a message about a busy server. But, when I finally got on, I noticed that there were only 72 people on the site.
Still having them, but not as much as when I first got on. I've also noticed that, today, TOL's dragging when other sites I've gone to are "normal." I know I'm on dial-up, but I've never had TOL go this slow on me.
