Well on the bright side, PCFXTOO and PCE Software bible are around... and Brothers Duomazov.

Maybe they gave up on it.

And PCE Dai.

Frankly, PCECP is more or less obsolete anymore, and has been for quite some time. It hasn't seen an update in years, and it doesn't offer much for PCE/Turbo stuff that isn't offered in a better manner by one of the other sites. It's biggest asset for the Turbo fan was the "Cheat/Debug Tricks" tab, as I'm not sure any of the other sites have such a comprehensive catalog of these.

To be honest, the only thing I ever used it for anymore was for PC-FX game info, since it's really the only place that has comprehensive data on these. PCFXTOO, however, has a template in place that will ultimately greatly surpass PCECP once it's fleshed out.

Yeah, PCECP has been a staple of the online Turbo community for years. At one time, it was THE one-stop shop for Turbo & PC-FX game info. Times have changed, however. The owner(s) of PCECP made a decision, conscious or not, to discontinue updates. Stagnation was inevitable, and it was only a matter of time before the site discontinued operation altogether. Whether that time has come remains to be seen, but short of a major overhaul, PCECP in its current form is a relic.

Are you sure you aren't seeing a cached version from your browser? Try clearing your cache & refreshing.

I still can't access it.

Positive, but to be sure, I just cleared all my cookies and ran Ccleaner.  I am able to login and search for whatever game I type in.  I dunno. I am also able to stream the videos they have on the site.

Thats strange.  Why would it work for some and not others?  Im sure there is some sort of technical reason, but hell if I know what it is.  Have the ones having issues connecting, tried other browsers?  I just logged in there, and its loading fine for me.
