Default USCF Website Hijacked?

Looks like a radio station took it over.

Did Bill forget to pay the registration fees again?

I know what happened.

It became the home page for KZUM 89.3 FM in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Our webmaster, Mike Nolan, lives in Lincoln Nebraska.

It must be that Mike Nolan is also the webmaster for KZUM 89.3 FM
and he posted their home page to our website.

Our ISP made a routing table error this afternoon while adding a new
customer, a local Nebraska nonprofit radio station. It was fixed at
around 6:15 pm central time.

No, Sam was completely wrong. He suggested that the webmaster put the
wrong pages up; in fact, the ISP was directing the requests to the wrong
machine.

Sam's wrong and he's an asshole. We all knew that.

Duncan,

I'm not part of your google group but could you share this with everyone!
Thanks so much.

Thanks to everyone for being so patient with the DNS issue on the website.
We switched over to a new internet provider and as you know...little
mistakes can happen. I contacted them yesterday as soon as I was apprised
of the situation. They handled it with extreme professionalism and very
quickly! I hope that those of you that were able to go to the KZUM website
found it to be interesting. We are a small non profit community radio
station in Lincoln Nebraska...you name it...we play it. You can listen to
us online if anyone of you are incline to! Our web address is www.kzum.org.

Tune in Thursday morning 10 - Noon CST for the best little polka show
around.

Again, thanks for everyone's patience.
