I got this record back from a dig, asked for help in #rainbow and got the right ip.
openarena.ws. 3600 IN A 68.178.232.99
this points to a go-daddy parked domain.
if you want the real website for sure, add this line to /etc/hosts
(or c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with notepad if you use a stupidly licensed OS)
76.74.252.88 openarena.ws

Hmmm, so it wasn't cracked, but the domain expired and wasn't renewed. Maybe it's time for another ending instead of .ws, maybe .org? Just an idea...

Yeah , it has expired openarena.ws
...
Domain Created: 2006-11-27
Domain Last Updated: 2009-11-28
Domain Currently Expires: 2009-11-27
...
But hopefully it was renewed and the registar doesn't update yet its records else I cannot explain to myself why the site is still accessible (dig just gives me back the correct address ) |

So, who is the GoDaddy domain account holder?

Not me! The domain is owned by fuzztooth (As is the web server).
I wanted to have a Paypal button on the site to allow contributions of donations towards the hosting and the domain that i'm paying a grand total of $0 for, towards the owner (fuzztooth). The old site as it stands now doesn't have the versatility for such thing, so it's slated for the new one, which is coming as soon as the 0.8.5 patch comes.
I forgot all about the domain's expiry, but GoDaddy should have sent reminder emails prior to expiration. If the .ws is dropped, I can only think of alternatives:
openarena.mancubus.net, but that may make id software angry as Mancubus is a reference to their fat Doom2/3 monster
openarena.tuxfamily.org, but tuxfamily isn't a domain name that signifies neutrality between win32 and mac
openarena.tk / openarena.cjb.net (HAHA JUST KIDDING!)

Right now I have 40 USD on my PayPal account I can donate to OA. It will probably cover 2 years of domain registration, or some of the server costs I guess. What's the e-mail for fuzztooth's PayPal account so I can send him?

A twitter account could come handy in such cases, but I checked and a hater already got it. But fortunately he didn't wrote anything since June, so maybe we could ask the twitter staff to remove it and it give to us. |

I pointed openarena.zvdk.nl to the ip, only the webserver needs to accept the handle
why not pay for the .ws domain btw? how much would that cost.
Will the account on the webserver expire as well? I wouldnt mind running the website.

Around 15-30$ if done within 40 days from expire +100$ if within 40-70 days of expire, 10000$+ if after 75 days. But it is registered to fuzztooth and it is he who can renew it or transfer it. |

I'll do the $ for the domain name - 3 years of GoDaddy is pretty cheap. Contact info (or introduction) for fuzztooth? PM me if needed.

At this point, OA "died" and "resurrected" so many times, that it's pretty hard to think on the death of OA.  |

And even tho, many people are still expecting and awaiting the true death of OA, so their egos will be fulfilled with more ego...
