InsanelyMac Homepage Down

It appears that the Home Page of InsanelyMac is redirected to a GoDaddy Domain Page. Any Idea? I can access the forum manually through a Google Search, lol. =)

How come the homepage doesn't show up correctly?

Author Update #2 @WinLinMac01 2008-05-06

Now if you go to the forums "page" directly through Google, that works, but when you click on the InsanelyMac forum page, the page that displays all of the latest news/stories end up on a GoDaddy Domain. This could be last year when the admin wanted to put his domain up for auction. Oh-no, not that time of the year again. =O

Author Update #3 @WinLinMac01 2008-05-06

I'm not using a search engine naquaada. I only used it because sometimes that works when certain sites are down . The link you gave me is what I tried before and that works, "but" go to the home page, and you'll see what I mean. =)

Field Note #1 @naquaada 2008-05-06

It's all ok for me. Clean your browser's Cache, quit it and try again. If it's still not ok, post a screenshot. (Use Alt+Shift+4)

Field Note #2 @naquaada 2008-05-06

Hm, it's still normal for me. Try that link: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act=home ↗

Tip: Don't always use Google, only why it's so well known. I often experienced better results with Yahoo. Example: If you use a picture search for 'Leopard' in Google you get more about the tank and the OS, in Yahoo and Alltheweb more about the animal. Alltheweb is also a good search machine:

allthe web.com

Field Note #3 @naquaada 2008-05-06

Hmmm.. not this happens also for me. But at my former posts the main page still worked, also after cleaning the caches.

Field Note #4 @zuz242 2008-05-06

maybe some malware redirecting?

its working for me ..

Field Note #5 @naquaada 2008-05-06

Which browser? Empty your caches or try a second one. But the page can't be down, otherwise the forum wouldn't be available. The favicon is also still to see.

Field Note #6 @zuz242 2008-05-06

now checking from hackintosh, other isp, firefox -> running as usual!?
