Nothing really changed today, other than the DNS entries.

At 14:35z approximately, I diged forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com and:

> dig forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com

Furher digging sp-forum-elb-2033387385.us-west-2.elb.amazonaws.com I got:

(there's no ANSWER SECTION)

So apparently the new team is trying to move Forum into an Elastic Load Balance on AWS, but until this moment no DNS entry for it was registered.

In time, Wiki has being working all this time.

Oh, well... Still waiting so.
