When I click the bookmark without a proxy, I get "Sorry 'forum.adultdvdtalk.com ' does not exist or is not available."

Have you tried just going to www.adultdvdtalk.com, instead of directly to the forum page? If you have and that doesn't work, either, then read on.
The fact that you can reach the site via a proxy suggests that your provider may be blocking it. Have you done a trace route to see if your packets can reach the site? If you're not familiar with that, and assuming you're running Windows, do the following:
Open a command prompt. You should get the following:
C:\Windows\system32>
type in "tracert www.adultdvdtalk.com" without the quotation marks, so you have this:
C:\Windows\system32>tracert www.adultdvdtalk.com
Hit Enter and see what happens. What you should get is a message stating:
Tracing route to adultdvdtalk.com [216.55.179.32]
followed by a list of routers (addresses) that pass your traffic on to this site, ending up with this site's IP, as noted above, along with a message that the trace is complete.

We aren't currently blocking any IP ranges at the firewall. I'd be curious to see the results of a traceroute when the site is unavailable. I'd guess there's a peering point router dropping packets somewhere between our hosting provider and you.

Now that's coming from a professional NetEng and 1337 Hax0r.
How many hops?
Do you have firewall? I use IP based firewall and heuristic firewall.
