Hello all,

We are currently aware of an issue causing the obl.ong root domain, and by extension your subdomains, to be unavailable. We are incredibly sorry for this and are doing everything in our power to get the domain back up as soon as possible. PIR, the NIC responsible for the .ong TLD, suspended our domain earlier today for unclear reasons possibly relating to them failing to receive documents we sent earlier last month - we're currently in conversation with them to remove the temporary suspension as soon as possible. We'll update this issue as soon as we hear back from PIR.

Again, we're incredibly sorry for this inconvenience, and thank you for placing your trust in us.

The Obl.ong team

Additionally, I apologize for blasting the v1.3 updates email again to y'all. Our email system is weird and I didn't do enough testing before sending it out. Tracker for replacing that in #62

Status as of 2024-02-07 10:32 PST (UTC-08:00): We are waiting on a response from PIR.

As of 10:07am UTC-6, the serverHold on the obl.ong domain has been lifted and domains have begun to resolve once again!

We once again apologize to our members for this unexpected downtime, and thank them for their patience.

This issue will be updated if any further action is taken regarding this.
