Anyone? It seems the usual domain has been hijacked or sold.

Yeah, I read on Wikipedia that their domain registration expired and they're working on a solution. You can still access the site in a limited fashion via its IP address.

I seem to remember this happening once before, a few years ago.

Try accesing through http://209.120.136.195/ if you want to see the database. If you want to download something, you may need some messing with your hosts file.

Ya posteé esto en Meristation. Si quieres acceder a su servidor, puedes hacerlo a través de http://209.120.136.195/ (la dirección IP original del servidor). El único problema lo tendrás si intentas descargar cosas. Como necesita tener puestos los referrers en su sitio, sus descargas no funcionarán. Para solucionarlo, tendrás que alterar tu fichero hosts y añadir una línea que relacione www.the-underdogs.org con la IP 209.120.136.195

Thank you. Nah, I don't need to download anything. I was just making some sort of cross-reference along mobygames regarding running a game that I didn't know using DOSBox.

I am sure Underdogs will come up and running again soon (I hope).

They lost their domain name to a cyber squatter once before when they let the lease on it lapse.

I think Underdogs sometimes goes a couple of months without updating her site, which is probably what happened (she probably forgot about the expiration date or something).
