www.snopes.com - What happ'd???

Does anyone have the scoop on the snopes (Urban Legends) site? They were there yesterday - I sure hope they aren’t gone!

Any info is much appreciated.

They moved their messageboard a couple of weeks ago, and recommend that if you’re having problems with the domain name you access them via their IP :

http://198.64.129.160

I just did that and it worked fine.

Try

Note the snopes2 part.

I heard the Recording Industries ordered them to shut down their site. LOL

Oh yeah - the whole problem is AOL’s fault according to the announcement on the snopes messageboard.

Thank you for the quick responses!
~When the SDMB was down for overhaul (earlier this year, or late last year) I got the scoop (on someone else’s panicked post) at snopes. I guess turnaround is fair play - and you didn’t let me down.

Though I do not post here very often I am a daily visitor to SDMB.
I love this place!
