Hi guys, I got this from another board:

As of March 21, 2006. Home of the Underdogs' website is currently unavailable, due to the domain name registration having expired (the server is still accessible, though, via its IP address, at the URL: http://209.120.136.195/

As it seems they have lost their domain, but downloads and the site are still available over the IP mentioned...

All I can say is: Big relief!!!!

As ts seems, opera can still access the site by www.the-underdogs.org. This doesn't work with IE or FireFox...

Heh. That's the second time that's happened in two years, I think. Used to be just theunderdogs.org, some squatter grabbed it and wanted $800 to sell it back.

I did wonder anyway, how much money they make with this page...

Umm... negative hundreds of dollars? The annoying popups and all pay only a tiny portion of the ridiculous bandwidth costs, most of it Underdogs pays out of her own pocket.

I see now... it took a bit for my DNS cache to synch.
I guess I'll be playing a bit with /etc/hosts
