Is the Baton Rouge Advocate web site down?

Isn't it 2theadvocate.com or something like that?

Yes, somebody said it had to do with letting the domain name expire. Earlier thread

From their Facebook page this morning:

ETA: still down for me too.

Yep. You can get to the NO Advocate, and they have a tab for Baton Rouge stories, but that tab has a technical glitch on it too

It hasn't been 2theadvocate in years.

If you are on a mobile device, their app is working fine.

It's weird. I checked into the site several times today w/o issue (using Google's DNS server on my Cox connection at work). Now, when I get home, I'm using the same 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 DNS servers, but I'm not able to access it via Bellsouth (or AT&T or whatever) DSL. To confound the mystery, NetworkSolutions showed the site (theadvocate) as being available for purchase earlier this evening, but they wouldn't let me complete the purchase. Now, the site is no longer available for purchase at least, so maybe they finally got it back under control. It's hard to believe they managed to let it expire in the first place. I still get renewal reminder emails for domains I registered for a company I was with 15 years ago....

Try just advocate.com.

Still down for me.

This is embarrassing.
