ISP blocks URL. Should I be concerned?

Hello there! I'm brand new to ZooVille, and as I was typing my introduction, it seems that my ISP cut my connection to the forum. I'm excited to have found a forum like this and I admit that it was naive of me to sign up and browse via my primary web browser with no protection. I've downloaded Tor Browser to continue and post this. Should I be worried that my ISP is now aware of ZooVille?
 
How do you know your ISP blocked the connection?
And by all means never use your regular connection to do anything that may be illegal.

I was tabbing through a couple threads while also writing my introduction (that I unfortunately did not post), when all of a sudden I lost connection to the website. I tested to see if it was only offline for me, by accessing the forum through Browserling (an online virtual machine for testing websites), and it loaded up perfectly fine. I'm on Tor Browser now to access ZooVille and it's also fine. If I try to access the site on my primary browser (which I'll no longer be doing), it says that it cannot connect.
 
The forum sometimes has outages that make it not load. So you may have hit one of those times. But I do not know how your ISP operates so it is not completely impossible that they could have blocked it.
 
There can be many reasons that doesn't mean the ISP is now watching you. If people that have comcast was on this site, Comcast would've done something by now. Unless it's really breaking laws there's nothing to worry about. Accessing a porn website won't land you 30 years. Of course if it's something else that's forbidden by the FBI, than you're SOL.

If you're accessing from a public Wi-Fi location. Don't be surprised if they decide to block it.
