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 a 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.
