We are (obviously) down. But we are not too badly off. The servers are OK. Keenspot's DNS server (which is shared with alot of Keenspot services, but no CG content is on it -- our DNS is on there) died sometime today about three hours ago, if not more. The backup DNS server is down too, died last week and they were trying to repair it when the main server died.
CG user accounts and forums are unaffected, other than being inaccessible. PREMIUM account-only content on CG is affected.
Other Keenspot services such as PREMIUM account content and ad-free surfing, WarpKeen, and other services will be heavily affected until the main server is back online.
Nate and Darren are working on getting a new DNS server up and working, followed by the main server. I have no ETA on ether one.
More as I get it.

Re: More hosts…
Consider all services for Keenspot down and offline. We have no information on that.Anonymous

Never mind, found it. My hosts file so far:66.220.2.24 egscomics.com
66.220.2.24 nukees.com

You have my condolences regarding the untimely death of the DNS servers, but obsessive comic reading must go on. ;)
