Yay!
There was some "rant, rant, rant" after I asked counsel to pursue the domain. I don't recall what prompted me to look, but it was when I saw a "parked 'for sale'" sign that I brought the issue up.
I don't know the order between counsel serving notice, and the domain being renewed and stuck back to it's 8+ year-old "Coming soon", but glad that's done with now.
Quoting Brian Wolff bawolff@gmail.com:
I happened to be reading the server admin log, and noticed these entries for April 4:
# 23:17 mutante: wikinews.com now redirects to wikinews.org # 23:11 mutante: DNS update - adding wikinews.com
So looks like wikinews.com now redirects. Personally that make me rather happy.
Cheers, Bawolff
