I'm getting a time-out as well. I think I last checked in late April when it was working OK.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ricoh is getting ready to pull the plug - they lost interest in it years ago and, I think, many users have too. I last submitted images in 2016 when it look 6-8 weeks for approvals to come through. I understand it can now take 5-6 months which is a pretty clear indication that not many are voting. Ricoh's lack of interest can be seen by no additions to the Premier Collection for several years - surely there would have been some contributions worth including during that time - and I think Kerrick James has been the Featured Artist for well over a year. Last time I looked, the K-1 and KP weren't even included in the cameras list. It's a pity but I think the PPG's time has passed - even if the server comes back on line.
