All I can get is the t-shirt page, too.
It might be a DNS issue, with the site being set up so early. OpenDNS is a free DNS service, that’s really easy to get working with your PC (its also a bit safer than using regular DNS’s). I can find the site just find and I’m using OpenDNS.
I’m in, and packing the french press and the coffee grinder.
I joined up. Thanks Elmwood.
I brought the coffee! We definitely need coffee. Anybody else want coffee? Have some coffee. It’s good stuff.You can never havetoomuchcoffee.Wanacup?
Screw that. I brought pie.
Mmmm…Coffee Pie!
I knew there was something I liked about you.
I’ve registered. Good to know it’s there, just in case.
I’ve registered as well. Thanks, elmwood!
Wow, this thread is a total flashback to my last weeks with McClatchy a few months back. Doom, gloom, the rumors go flying, everybody’s putting together contingency plans…
Maybe partner up with The Above Network?
The user base is much like this one and they maintain everything very efficiently.
Just a thought…
I’ve registered. I have organised the beer and cheese.
Buuuuuuurp scuseme.
Folks. Don’t get excited. CL has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which gives the company protection from creditors while it reorganizes. That’s what we’re now doing. We’re not in imminent danger of shutting down. However, we’re obliged to focus our limited resources on projects that will improve the bottom line. Make no mistake, the Straight Dope is one of those projects, and if you’ll notice Jerry’s latest post in the “status” thread, he’s making some progress. But I make no predictions. I know everyone wants constant status updates, but there’s not much I can tell you.
I don’t wish to alarm anyone unnecessarily about the future of CL, TSD, and the SDMB. I merely point out the seriousness of the situation. As I’ve said before, we’ve got a plan we’re trying to execute. As parts of that plan come online, I’ll explain what we’re trying to do.
Ed, thank you for posting the above. It does not tell us a lot but it does help (some of us) to get posts from you and Jerry. Even if you just relay information to the Admins to pass along it is appreciated along the way.
So thank you,
Jim
I went through the same crap with McClatchy m’self.

I hope the SDMB isn’t threatened by the goings on at CL.
FWIW, teemings.org is propagating … oddly. I’m using OpenDNS, and it worked until just an hour ago, when it reverted to the GoDaddy placeholder page. Strange. DNS propagation should “take” soon.
