BugMeNot.com is indeed down
I don’t know why, or for how long, or anything. I sent the owner an e-mail, so hopefully I’ll find out why soon.
So this means that the extension will not work, since it relies on the site for the information. We were planning on creating a contingency plan at some point, but obviously we fell short on that. Hopefully if it comes back up, we’ll create something for the future.
*Edit: I just talked to the owner, and he said that it was a slight miscommunication with his domain provider, and it will be back up shortly. So keep your pants on- bugmenot.com shall rise again.*

Geez…it was working just a while ago. (like two hours ago).

*Really* weird. Ten minutes ago it was down, but I’m doing a new Firefox install so I came here to get the extension. I installed it, and it worked! And now it’s down again. Funky.

And now it’s up again! “No accounts found for roachfiend.com”

It looks like you can still get to BugMeNot directly at:
http://bugmenot.nfshost.com
I’m guessing that something messed up happened with domain name renewal.

Is there at least any IP we can put in our host file meanwhile?
Trying to tracert to bugmenot.nfshost.com causes problems at c2.phx.nearlyfreespeech.net [199.1.92.202].

It’s working again. Indeed the domain renewal screwed up (yesterday you got godaddys “this domain is expired”-page).
It appears to be fixed now
Last Updated on: 03-Nov-05
Domain servers in listed order:
NS.PHX3.NEARLYFREESPEECH.NET
NS.PHX5.NEARLYFREESPEECH.NET
It were redirected to godaddys nameservers yesterday. If you’re using your ISPs nameservers the old records might be cached, so you’ll have to wait until the cache expires or use another nameserver.

It was a domain issue, so it’s back up and kicking now.

Blogging has definitely changed my life. I was amazed at how quickly the feeling of community came through. I’ve met some great “strangers” on line. I’ve learned from them and been encouraged by them.
