It's a pity all the links still point to duckandcover.net. Once you've logged out of the forums, you can't log back in because it tries to point you over to the old site.

Oh well.

Suggestion:

Open your windows hosts file (generally found at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts ) and add the following lines:
209.50.233.251 duckandcover.net
209.50.233.251 www.duckandcover.net

Now, instead of looking at some dumb DNS server when you type in "www.duckandcover.net", your computer will simply go to the correct IP! And, most importantly, it will also tell the Apache webserver that you're looking for Duck And Cover, and not some other site on the same IP.
This should fix any and all troubles until Killzig renews the domain.

HOWEVER. Be sure to delete those lines once Killzig has renewed the domain, or you'll run into troubles if DAC ever switches hosts. Also: Don't do this if you're a dumb shit who plans on bothering me for help with this.

Works for me. Thanks Calis, I lub j00.

More info here if anyone needs help (like finding the host file on your system and making sure it doesn't have an extension).
