The site is gone. I tried to go to it tonight and it went to a search page. I even waited awhile and tried again. It's the middle of the night, so hopefully they're just doing maintenance

Very wierd what is happening.... I tried first thing this morning and it worked fine. That was around 730am but now it is going to the search page like you both were talking about. Wonder what is going on.

Hm, I checked with Godaddy.com, and the domain is not registered to Gratis, but to some other company (e-mail is mostwanteddomains.biz, so probably a reseller trying to make money off different companies). The strange thing is that Gratis WAS using that domain until today, so they better fix that problem soon) I'll be mad if the site goes down for such a stupid reason)

Probably someone hijacked the domain. However, I still find it unbelievable how they used a domain, that was registered back in 2002 for about 10 days, and now they have problems with it(or at least it shows it was registered in 2002)

Can we still actively pursue getting people to sign up? lol, might be a dumb question but it all still loads up for me!
