DNS propagation takes time. If it's not impacting you or only a few of the sites are down just wait a while until your ISP catches up.

I'll post this one more time. I'm in Canada and this is what I see when I try to access any of the 4 mentioned sites. I'm not sure if it's any more widespread than FT, PS, UB and AP.

It's true. I can still get to PS, but if I use this proxy service, it fails: http://www.fasterthree.info/browse.p...y5jb20%3D&b=61

For the people that are seeing the notice, can you still play or can you not get on the site?

Stop saying "Works for me in [placename]" !

DNS will propagate soon enough. Whether it works for you now in Moscow or in LA is irrelevant. Soon enough you'll see the notice.

in plain english, your internet service provider might have an old version of white pages which shows your old address. they are going to receive an updated version of those white pages in a few hours which will show your new address.

the games are still going on, this only applies to the domain names. they also didn't touch the .net versions.

BODOG wasn't touched. a few years back they had their name confiscated and changed their company name to bodoglife.com but then won the name back. I suspect something similar might happen here.

Fulltiltpoker.com owns fulltilt.com so that might become their new homepage.

QFT. If you look at official internic whois you can see all the entries were updated today.

folks,

they confiscated the domain names, not the servers or the databases. the games are still going on as usual. all they did was force the registrar to hand over the domain names. when uncle sam and the fbi knock on your door, you better bend over.

Can still play obviously, but the fear is that this is just the first step in a larger campaign. If they start seizing funds while they 'investigate' that could tie up a lot of money for people on 2+2.
