Howdy all -

Godaddy's DNS servers were successfully attacked this afternoon:

We don't host ninjette.org at godaddy anymore, but they are still our domain registrar. This means when your browser tries to go to ninjette.org, godaddy runs the server farm that says "aha! you really want to go to this server over there". I know the IP address of our server, so could confirm that the server was a-ok; but most folks wouldn't have been able to get to it from about 2:15 - 3:00 PM Pacific while the DNS attack was still quite effective.

All seems to be well at this point; sorry for the trouble.

I haven't been able to access it all day. Glad to see we're back.
