They let the domain expire? Typical laziness.

Can they do that? I would think you'd have to use the NetSol monad and force evaluation.

Next time you think something is odd please explain what that is. Please.

I have to admit that I'm a little puzzled whenever this happens on a well-known site. Do not all registrars allow you to set up auto-renew on your domains? I have to explicitly choose not to renew a domain.

The latest I've heard is that it wasn't due to expire for another year, but Network Solutions decided it was expiring anyway.

They probably bought a long registration and the card they used expired during that period.

It seems that they let the domain expire. This should get you by: http://hpaste.org/42369/haskellorg_ips

I'm confused - this simply appears to be the usual Haskell landing page. What is it that's happening that you're claiming to be "odd" ?

The domain was expiring and got redirected to a Network Solutions domain parking page. It looks like it's been renewed, but the correct dns settings don't seem to have propagated everywhere yet.
