Today, I received the following email from kossack madame damnable:
Just passing this along. You are the only person at DK whose email I have from The Grieving Room, and I wanted someone to know that Kos is blocked from our host since yesterday. We have a little city owned server called Ashland Fiber Network in Ashland, OR. Some upstream bandwidth provider is either down or blocking intentionally. Raw Story is also unavailable. I've talked to the IT guy at our server and he is working it from his end. Maybe someone at Kos can trace it backwards. Voxel.net, Kos's host was no help.
Please pass this to whomever might be able to figure it out. I miss my DK fix!
Thanks,
madame damnable

From her participation in The Grieving Room series, I know that she's a real person who needs some help, and I hope that someone with the requisite expertise might lend her a hand.
Please reply here if you have any ideas I can send along to her. If you'd like to contact her directly, message me for her email address.
Thank you!
