It looks like they finally changed the registration of the domain from Copley to Gatehouse and fuzked up their name servers, and it took the incompetent admins at Gatehouse a day or so before they figured it out.
Why it was necessary to change name servers when changing ownership of the domain registration is beyond me. A competent admin wouldn’t try to do both at the same time precisely to avoid screwing up so spectacularly.
Yeah, most rational tech people know that you do things one piece at a time. It’s also hard to believe it took the better part of 2 days to get it fixed.

I looked around, the whois info is now Network Solutions. But, a glance at an out-of-date record showed it wasn’t set to expire until 2011.
