[Coco] Trump killed the Color Computer Archive site?

[Scott Wendt]

It was definitely an issue with DDoS against the DreamHost DNS system (you can check the status history page) and has been resolved.

My website was affected by the same issue so I was tracking the downtime for that reason.

I agree with David Ladd.  This looks like a localized ISP DNS issue.  If I
remember correcyly the 8.8.8.8 address are the DNS servers for OpenDNS.
