Anyone know what happened? The domain name now points to asearch100.com

Holy crap!
Their domain registration must have lapsed, and now somebody's squatting there. Shitsnacks.

This can't be right...
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
Seems to be working again... Weird.
Edit: ...and broken again. Some kind of DNS shenanigans going on.

i was going to say, its still down for me.

Yeah, it was working for about 30 seconds...
I get the same "domain parking" result with my ISP's DNS, or with Google's:
> server 8.8.8.8
Default Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8
> www.vintage-computer.com
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

if it works for you, try posting the ip address for us HOSTS abusers
Been working fine for me all day... whois says that Erik still owns the domain and it won't expire till 2023, so even if there was a temporary lapse it should be resolved by now.
The IP is 199.91.126.125 but it doesn't reverse-resolve (odds are they're using name-based virtual hosting)
It was probably related to the spam/DDoS war that's going on at the moment, between two fairly major players...

seems okay now...

Thing is, when it's happening, it's not just my DNS server that's affected, but Google's too (8.8.8.8 in above tests).
On the upside, whenever it does happen, it seems to be back to normal again within minutes.
It's consistent with some kind of DNS DoS attack. Probably not directly against vintage-computer.com, but against the DNS service they use, or something along those lines.

I got to the page but got a malware warning from Chrome.
Are you sure you don't have some kind of malware on your machine that is redirecting your clicks?

Certain, because it's only for a few minutes at a time, then it goes back to normal.
It's on every device on my network, even on my phone with Wifi turned off, AND it's only that site.
Also, it's not just me, others were experiencing it the other day.
It's weird, and I'm not too concerned. It'll pass.

The VCGM was hacked and needs to be shut down for cleanup. Hopefully it'll be back in a day or three.I'll keep you posted here as we make progress.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
