Was wondering if anyone is having difficulty getting on to the Bogleheads site, I haven't been able to access it for a few days.
I was last on it Friday about noon. Have not been able to since.
I use this to check if a site is down...
Down For Everyone Or Just Me -> Check if your website is down or up?
That's what I use - I keep it bookmarked.
But the OP didn't provide the url for the site he is trying to get to, so I couldn't test it.
Is this it? - http://www.diehards.org/ ? No 'bogleheads' or 'forum' in that url, but I guess that is their forum? And it does show as 'down for everyone'.

Bogleheads.org
Someone at Morningstar's group said the Comcast server hosting bogleheads.org is down due to bad weather.
Oh, I see - your post was confusing as the link reads "Bogleheads.org" but actually directs you to the morningstar site, which is up, so I thought that "Bogleheads.org" was up, and the OP was talking about some other url.
But diehards.org is down also, maybe that is just another name that redirects?

My favorite site for checking websites that are down (shows how long a site has been down):
Bogleheads.org - Is Bogleheads Down Right Now?
It also shows the service status history. BH forum has been down one whole day and 9 hours so far.
The site was taken down by a massive bot-enabled, DDOS attack, orchestrated by a consortium of actively managed, front end loaded funds, Ameriprise, Edward Jones, and other insanely jealous competitors.
According to a spokesperson for the consortium, who declined to be named, "This is our opening salvo. If this site tries to reopen, we will go at it with every tool in our possession. The American investor deserves serious [mis]management, not the kind of laissez-faire approach advocated by these Bogleheads."
