I had to add the line

to my /etc/hosts file to access this website ?
Is something wrong with the DNS entries ?

The domain has been transferred. It hadn't expired so it looks like someone has hijacked it (whoever transferred it paid for another year so it now expires in 2022 - it was already paid up until 2021).
According to who.is, it was transferred to:
Name: Martti Malmi
Organization: Malmi Web Tech
Address 1: PL 116
City: Helsinki
State: Uusimaa
Zip: 00101
Country: FI
Phone: +358.458581880

, and I almost didn't figure out what to do.
I can guarantee 99% of people won't figure it out..
How is bitcointalk going to fix this ?

I had to google for the old IP address, amazing indeedP.S. Never would have logged in if security of this account was in any way critical -- https broken, browser warning pages, etc. Not sure if mentioning that (on Reddit) would help.
P.P.S. Changing security settings for HOSTS file walkthrough is probably worth mentioning for win/hosts users -- without editing HOSTS, none of the internal links here work.
Oh, and thanks maxmint.

I really would like to see an official bitcointalk Twitter account to get news from admins in cases like this.

That person is a core bitcoin developer. So I don't think this was a malicious theft.
Just spread this message in chatboxes on big exchanges:
Please spread: Bitocointalk.org domain got transfered (probably an error): ADD THIS LINE to hosts file to get access: (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts): 109.201.133.65 bitcointalk.org

I'm gonna take that as - BAD news..When it rains it pours..
if it s has been stolen,theymos will get it recovered in no time
while he ll wake up
in the meantime they should have choosen mod from other parts of the world to get it covered 24h
Just my opinion
