They don't work if there is a proxy server involved if you are calling from Excel.Ultimately, I gave up. 

We're sorry about the inconvenience, but this was done so we could upgrade the servers that run BiggerPockets.Traffic on the site has continued to grow and this move was necessary so we could keep up with the growing demands placed on BP.Additionally, the move should help us to speed up the load times for all members.Thanks for the understanding and patience everyone!

I just retested - very slow to connect to the server, but once connected it loaded as you'd expect.

The owner states serveral times that every customer gets to interact with each other in conference calls so I agree with him.

I really enjoy bigger pockets & I would fee terrible if the incredible demand of investors going to the marketplace for a chance at the swisher collection crashed the BP servers. : )

This is what I use and have a Process Server serve...NOTICE TO PAY RENT OR QUIT TO _________________________________________________________________, and all other tenants in possession of the premises described as: Address _____________________________________________________________PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the rent is now due and payable on the above- described premises which you currently hold and occupy.

Their servers are now being very slow in processing customer payments, fees, invoices, etc.

This is posted on their website"Our servers reside in an access-controlled data center monitored by video surveillance and roving security guards 24/7.We have application level monitoring of logins and transaction activity.We are fully insured for Technology Risk, Professional Liability, Fraudulent Activity, and Privacy Breach."

The servers produce a significant amount of heat, so the ac systems in these buildings are very large and expensive. 

There are a number of platforms that make it easy to sign up and manage your hosting and domains without having to install a web server.
