I reached out to the developer and offered to lend a hand. Here's hoping we can come together as a community and help.
Yea, idk. I know the dev is quite busy with life things, but idk much more than that.
I was just on there last night. And FPR 30.1 was released a few days ago. This is surprising. I wonder if he just forgot to renew it or something.
That could be, I was just on there not too long ago either looking at some of the older pages on networking.
It appears to still be registered to him.
Huh, interesting. Wonder if it could be an attack then, as some attacks use this method IIRC.It appears to still be registered to him.

floodgap.com mail is handled by 10 mx1.netsolmail.net.

If it has expired, who can blame him really? Kaiser is the Riverside County (California) Public Health Officer. He's got a lot on his mind right now no doubt.
He posted over at his blog saying it was an attack on the company and that they are already working on restoring it.
Floodgap.com down due to domain squatter attack on Network Solutions
Floodgap sites are down because someone did a mass attack on NetSol (this also attacked Perl.com and others). I'm working to resolve this. M...

That's what I suspected when it appeared that the domain was still registered to him.
