    Huh. Yes it did. For about 5 minutes.

    Phew! Glad you're back!

    Me too. That five minutes was an *eternity*.

    An eternal- september

    I actually pulled headers from a different server.


    Oh, what server?

    Easynews. I still do some limited binaries stuff.


    Neat, I'll keep it in mind.

    So, this morning around noon, I pulled headers and even made a post.

    After that, I tried to make a second post and got a 400 Goodbye! message.

    The website doesn't bring up much of anything.

    Did they just shut down today at 17:00 UTC?

    Goddammit. Now they forgot to renew their DNS!

    DNS failures at 17:30-18:00 UTC today so far.
