Is Kel-Tec out of business?

[divemedic]

Or did someone in the Kel Tec IT department drop the ball?

I'd imagine your guess is correct... They probably forgot to re-up their domain name... Happens to me and my websites every year or two

Notice: This domain name expired on 05/01/10 and is pending renewal or deletion

The site seems to be working.

It came up for me this morning. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

 

[zombienerd]

The site seems to be working.

They've probably re-upped already, but it hasn't propagated through all ISP's DNS servers yet...

It's not working for me, or divemedic, so there's a good chance that it's 50/50 for most people right now...

If you're seeing it, means that the DNS distribution process has started, and everyone should be able to see the site again within a day.

Perhaps the site was down for maintenance?

They are definately not out of business. I was just there on friday afternoon and it was business as usual.

Probably forgot to renew it in time but they've got it for the next year. Perhaps they are trying to get a better domain name than kel-tec-cnc.com

Thàts a coincedence, I was trying to get on their site today and some other weird name came up for me too.
