I can read it just fine over here. I don't understand why you think it's a trap?

maybe it's just your internet connection. perform a traceroute against the host to see who's at fault.

My connection does seem to be the problem here. I wonder if it's something that only affects me or if anyone else here is having the same issue connecting to this server. Traceroute times out.

Where does it timeout on? You can probably find out the router that is the issue. If it times out before it gets beyond your ISP, chances are it's your connection. My traceroute looks good here, so it's probably not their webserver.

For me the page didn't load at first, because some script or other was on a host that didn't respond. So maybe try turning off Javascript, it did the trick for me.
