Monty just posted a mail to the vorbis list explaining why vorbis.com has been unreachable for some time now:

Short answer missing the details: We've been screwed by Network Solutions, who have unilaterally revoked vorbis.com from us without notice and have the domain name locked. They're deleted the domain entry from our account and removed it from the root servers. 

Their own database says the domain is registered and paid until 2004, but their *billing* computer can't find the payment, so they just yanked it. <bleep> 

Needless to say, we're practically screaming at them right now and we're a step or two short of sending in the lawyers.

UPDATE: The problems seem to have been resolved. Vorbis.com should be reachable again.

That page hasn't been updated in nearly six months anyway.

What are you talking about? Vorbis.com had news about WinAmp 2.80 in this month:
WinAmp 2.80 with Ogg Vorbis support!

It has, look at the software news on the right.

There is no new 'Vorbis news', well, because there hasn't been a new vorbis in that time.

I had similar "issues" with Network Solutions. I highly recommend Directnic. I transferred my stuff over to them when NS were unwilling to cooperate.

These naming companies really offer a poor service, for the little work they have to do...
