Oh dear. Did someone ignore their “please renew your domain” warnings?

I was wondering if I had a virus or something preventing me into getting to gamedev. Now I see I’m not the only one and that’s a more seriouse problem…
More amusing is that ssl errors causes an error that stops your image of an error from being displayed. :)
Maybe you should try and convince WP to not use https for images?

Thanks!
I can’t :(
WP is stinkingly insecure, and the authors have never bothered to fix it. The best plugin I’ve found that enables basic security doesn’t support leaving-out images :(.
The only “solution” is that I have to go buy a cert.
In the meantime … a self-signed cert does wonders for reducing the volume of spam (most spambots die when they hit a cert error. Ha!)
It seems to be back in business now :)
Looks like the problem is solved.
P.S.: Smart way to kill spambots. I may give it a try…
It’s still offline for me :(. Probably the DNS being slow to propagate (reminds me how much we used to hate Network Solutions for being indistinguishable from a bunch of incompetent and/or thieving bastards (I personally lost one domain because they screwed up, and then sold my domain to someone else))
wow that would have been a pretty horific blow to the internet if it was gone for good, what a weird anomaly
From VIC Aus, anyone from here also having problems with the site?
