MacSlash Domain Stolen

Posted by pudge on from the sigh dept.

MacSlash's Robert Daeley writes in to tell us that the domain name for MacSlash, the Mac news site, is incorrectly pointing to a generic "Dotster" page, either by accident or by malicious domain theft or squatting. They have registered macslash.net and hope to be back up again soon, and have as yet been unable to get word from "Dotster" regarding how this all happened.

    You can still access macslash.com by dropping www.macslash.com into your hosts file with the IP: 63.238.196.105. Obviously this is only a temporary solution (you'll want to delete it once things have been resolved!), but it'll get you there right now.
    If you don't know how to modify a hosts file: MacOS X -- http://www.macwrite.com/criticalmass/mac-os-x-host s-revisited.php, MacOS 9 and Windows -- http://www.cexx.org/neuter.htm
