Since Thunt requested in his blog not to make posts elsewhere, I've gone ahead and edited out discussions regarding the situation I made previously on the LFG forum.

Though I remained polite with my posts there, I'll honor Tarol's wishes, and I've got my fingers crossed that this is all resolved quickly.

My apologies to Tarol if my posts were not helpful or what you would have wanted.

Sorry to spoil it all for you:
He later tweeted the following:
Looks like we have to wait a lot longer for it.


And GoblinsComic is now affiliated with HiveWorks who deliver the ads. The ads are not back because .com returns.

Also in other news: is it me, or is the countdown clock frozen? Might just be a glitch on my computer. Wanted to know if anybody else has had the same problem or noticed.

Oh, that was me. Sorry. I snuck over and trapped Thunt in a bubble of frozen time so that he'd be able to relax for a bit. It should pop soon, but it's hard to predict exactly when, given that we're talking about time displacement.

Well, it's not the code. That hasn't changed. So it's the server-side which sets the "var update_countdown_secs = " in the page source code, when it delivers the page to you.
This might be wordpress related, or the general server-workload problem.
Maybe the ad-on which sets the "var update_countdown_secs = " has been stopped to ensure server-stability. I have not received any "Error 500" since the clock "stopped".
(BTW: In the browser the clock runs fine, just every page refresh causes it to reset to 303520 seconds ("var update_countdown_secs = "), 3 days 12 hours 18 minutes and 40 seconds ).

Nope. It's the DNS server structure that needs time to update.
I also still have .org
