I just checked mixnmojo.com and it came up with what I have uploaded a picture of. What's going on?

    Oh no...
    ...
    ...
    wait... it appears to be back up... with a message saying

    "BOOYAH!

    The site has regenerated in order to cheat death. We're a bit like Mojo 9, only with more fun and general buffoonery. "

    Hooray...

    Yeah, same here OzzieMonkey. Perhaps the site just doesn't work for Australians anymore.

    Found the problem. You have to put /index.php after the web address.

    EDIT: It stopped working again.

    That's just the site's new layout.

    All it does for me is time out.

    And there you have it:

    Domain servers in listed order:

    NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM 205.178.190.51
    NS2.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM 206.188.198.51

    I'd say someone forgot to renew their domain registration before it expires... :rolleyes:

    Of course, if some DNS server between you and it's regular nameserver has still cached the old IP mixnmojo.com pointed at you'll still be able to see the site...

    I just tried again and now its not working.

    Edit: now it seems if you have www and the beginning it doesnt work but without the www it does work.

    I'm afraid that's just because a DNS cache will cache www.mixnmojo.com and mixnmojo.com separately (since both could point to wildly different sites), but as soon as that cached mixnmojo.com entry (which is probably cached on your ISPs end, so it'll only work for you and other customers of your ISP anyway) also expires you'll have the same problem the rest of us has.

    Don't worry, this has been sorted, it's just taking a little while for it to percolate through the rest of the internet because of caches and stuff.

    Every couple years folks forget to renew the domain. It's tradition.

    definitely not working. people who do see something might be loading it from the cache. try doing CTRL + F5

    I like how you guys are all reading the thread before replying... oh wait, that's the opposite of what's happening.

    The domain name expired but it is being renewed. The site should be back up soon.

    Holy funk, Mojo is down! I wish Jake would comment on that.

    I think it was hacked.

    Guys, I checked, the site is down. If only someone would clear this up and clarify what's going on... seems kinda rude that nobody has said anything about this yet. I'm assuming the server has exploded.

    (Yeah, I stole Majus' joke. But then so did your face - burn)

    No, I assure you the site is quite well and UP. There's just no domain (at least not mixnmojo.com) pointing at it currently.

    That's like saying an island vanished off the face of the earth just because the only bridge to it collapsed... :D

    same difference if we can't get to it.

    someone should put a redirect for that domain that points to this:

    See, that's the fun thing - if someone posted the correct (i.e. old) IP address of the server everyone could (temporarily, until this is resolved) throw a line like

    123.234.345.456 mixnmojo.com www.mixnmojo.com

    into their hosts file and get to the server just fine.

    If, on the other hand, the server were just a smoldering heap that wouldn't be possible...

    Of course it is. DNS caches rarely take longer than a day to refresh. For most people the bad entries were probably only there for about 12 hours.
