Abdalla

Thanks for the prompt and clear response.

This should put the matter as pertains KeNIC to rest. We are all relieved. 

The community however should be interested in finding out exactly what happened. 

1. Was the site hacked and brought down? 
2. Did the the host decide the potato was too hot? 
3. Why blame KeNIC? 

I have said before, we need to be careful about how we use social media and the Internet as a whole.

This is being addressed as a separate issue
