OK, first an official disclaimer - I didn't promise 100% it will be opened today. I promise, though, it will be good enough, while some might , as always, not like it.
What I figured out is the method of getting it, I miss one important thing needed about it.
What I do wish, and what isn't there, is an ability to play the game partially. For example, you're given a screen with 6 Warriors and one city, and can manage those online, with limited space and options, but still something! That isn't there  .
Yes, I really am excited about this, almost as excited as about the game.
Friday I've been monitroing possible restarts of server, by giving it pings all the time. Of course, while restarting, server wouldn't respond to any requests.

I don't believe you. Why don't you prove it by telling us what it looks like so when we see it we will know you were telling the truth. Or better yet, grab a few images off of the site to show us.

Well, I guess it isn't today... 
But lets just hope it is soon, and if it is another week, then maybe Solver can give some input on what is on the site!!!

solver doesn't know that an impi is just an upgraded warrior so why would he know anything about the website?

I think it is nearing completion. Now I do get taken to a proper website but just get a 'you are not authorised to view this page'. Previously I just got directed to a silly IP. I think it is close. Within the week perhaps?

Tell us what. You know how desperate we are, we can get everything for it.
EDIT : This post should come AFTER Sabre2th post. There are server time problems again.

I am confused  What does rebooting a server have to do with putting up a website? What, everytime they upload something they have to reboot?

...has much more sophisticated, server side security measures than some JavaScript that anyone can see.

Yes, they do. Mostly all of infograme's websites are .asp So, if you can truly sneak in and see it's contents, then you must have hacked their server. I find this highly unlikely, as well as a stupid thing to do for a game.

Solver,
Did you really get into the site?
Or are you guessing what the problems are with the site?

These allegations of Solver sound a bit fishy, with no apparent evidence
Oh, whatever. Maybe I'll just play Homeworld through one more time.

If the Firaxis site is down, then that means that they might be changing the civ3 section so that it links you to civ3.com!!!
Lets just hope that is what is really happening!!!
