This is an unfortunate consequence of pushing this site out of Wikimedia's hosting in 2006; the offsite mirror apparently didn't get maintained. :(
From mailing list archives, it looks like the mirror site we redirected it to (sep11memories.org) was hosted by Jeff Merkey. According to WHOIS info he still owns the domain, but it expires on September 26.
It may get automatically renewed.
Most likely Jeff moved other hosting around or something and it's just pointing to some old host that's now a spamfarm; if he's available and interested he may be able to set it back up or transfer the domain. (??)
The same problem (redirect to surveyfinddomain.com) happens with wolfmountaingroup.com And all of the (good ones and the spammy we are redirected to) are hosted in the same ip: 69.6.27.100, owned by the spam company OptInRealBig.com [1]. Seems that Jeffrey lost access to wolfmountaingroup.com last June (the current registration is from 2011/06/20) and the spammifying of that site affected sep11memories.org through the alias. Which means that we can no longer reach him through his @wolfmountaingroup.com email.
