What I found was that the domain rockbox-themes.org is still registered, but the 1&1 nameservers that should be authoritative for it have no (or broken) records for it. So there's no way to resolve the DNS address to an IP address, and since I don't know the IP address there's no way I can know if the site's really dead, or if it's just a DNS problem that the domain owner can fix by adding DNS records. Is the Google cache the only indicator you have for it being down since 2007? Looking at time-stamps for themes I'm pretty sure I got from rockbox-themes.org, it was up back in March 2008. And the DNS records were last updated in June. Hopefully Mark Bright is subscribed to this list & can enlighten us about this. $ whois rockbox-themes.org Domain ID:D123837196-LROR Domain Name:ROCKBOX-THEMES.ORG Created On:04-Jun-2006 17:46:25 UTC Last Updated On:05-Jun-2008 01:24:16 UTC Expiration Date:04-Jun-2009 17:46:25 UTC Sponsoring Registrar:1 & 1 Internet AG (R73-LROR) Status:OK Registrant ID:SPAG-31463401 Registrant Name:Mark Bright Registrant Email:mark.bright_at_btopenworld.com Name Server:NS45.1AND1.CO.UK Name Server:NS46.1AND1.CO.UK $ dig _at_NS45.1AND1.CO.UK +all www.rockbox-themes.org ANY ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 12712 Conway S.
