.org Registry Offline - Not

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bit-an-oops dept.

einer writes "According to the The Register, the registry containing all of the .org tld information has fallen off the planet. The article is light on details, and doesn't list any potential consequences. " It looks like it's the server that maintains the records for who owns what .org domain - and a big "I Told You So" for Verisign. And of course, now it seems to be working just fine. Good work, PIR.

    i didn't need to read the article since i know that the .org TLD is not run by verisign anymore, and the news poster said "i told you so, verisign" when verisign has nothing to do with the .org tld anymore.

    I knew the earth was flat but nobody believed me.

    I went to this site, and I wondered - what in the world does Florence Henderson have to do with the earth being flat? The mystery is almost too much to bear.

    More information on the Flat Earth Society is available here, at a .org address no less.
