When I first heard the news from SSpideRR I couldn't believe it--CP was not available because the Disney company forgot to renew the domain name. How could this happen? I searched Google news for confirmation of this and very many newspapers and websites reported on the problem. Here's an excerpt from one report:
Disney was willing to pay up to $700 million for Club Penguin, but apparently forgot to renew its domain. Parents can’t be happy.
If you go to Club Penguin—like my daughter did—you get an odd looking Network Solutions page. It’s the page you get when you haven’t renewed a domain name. The page has been down for a good chunk of the day. CBS News reported that Club Penguin returned about noon, but a lot of folks still can’t get to the site. The outage has been widely reported on Club Penguin blogs such as the Club Penguin Insider.
“The domain name has expired, but has been restored, but everything is getting back to normal,” said a Disney spokeswoman. Some players can’t log on, but most of the service has been restored.
