Things are not all as they seem at NP, in fact control of the most of the group domains have now been taken from RJ as he has let some domains expire. There was talk that he was sick for a long time but he seems to be well enough to frequent the forums to sell his domains...

It is strange that RJ did not at least send an email or put up a notice on the site. To be honest, I am kinda worried. I have multiple projects there.

If you PING the domain name there is no response. The domain should be on 208.101.31.227 hosted by softlayer.com. Hmmm, I didn't check them all, but the first name server for them I tried to ping didn't responde, but the second one did, so it's hard to say what's going on. My feeling is that due to the lack of any PING for the domain and the length of time it's been down I would say something very serious happend, ranging from 1) a hacked server (which due to the financial transactions that take place, would likely result in a complete shutdown/isolation of the system(s); 2) a failure of one or more servers requiring hardware replace ments AND system restoration, or 3) A physical problem like a fire or other disaster.
