I can access rybkaforum.net including new postings from minutes ago.

The command tracert shows me 89.145.79.118 for that URL, but the page cannot be viewed directly if I use the IP numbers in the browser. I do not know if that is the old IP or a new one of a server they have moved to, but anyway it works (currently).

Maybe the problem will go away if all DNS servers have been updated, as it often seems to be in such cases.
Regards, Mike

I am sure you also loaded just from cache without reloading.
The domain is expired... ahem
The domain is not expired

I even saw response to a post that I had that I did not see earlier in the following link:

http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/forum_show.pl
Nope, not for me... and if you look at the full domain WHOIS report.
I always get the same site...
The Rybka forum was working for me about 2 hours ago, but now I get the good looking chick too. :?
The only ones who still can see the Rybka forum, are from a very small
area in the world. May be it takes a bit longer there to update the caches
with the real site.

It looks that the Rybka forum has been hijacked by a hacker. This is why you get the domain page.

Hi Shimon,
There are decent people in the computer chess community that are posting in the Rybka forum,but their number compared to the morons are rather tiny....The Rybka forum is a full chaos....
CCC is the place to be regards,
