Hello-
I just heard from someone at FPN who shared the scoop on what happened and caused the site to be offline. They have only just now gotten to the bottom of it.
Apparently a DNS change was made at their registrar directly on the registrar's servers, substituting a false IP address for FPN's. (DNS spoofing.) They've gotten the registrar to correct it, but it will take up to 24 hours to be fully propagated all over the internet.
