Where’s Blog@Newsarama?

I knew of two ways to get to Newsarama’s blog: Go to Newsarama’s site and click the “Blog” tab, or visit blog.newsarama.com. Now both are sending me to the Space.com “community”. Going to newsarama.com/blog gives a 403 – You don’t have permission to access message. Has Blog@Newsarama gone defunct? Or did someone just misconfigure something badly?
I mean, I quit reading it after the first crew quit and became Robot 6, so it doesn’t affect me, but I found the disappearance very curious.
Update: The site is back. One of its contributers commented that the temporary absence was due to “server updates”.

We’re back now. Server updates.
So thanks for the constructive criticism, Ray.

I was trying to visit it because I was checking out the report that it was missing. Would you rather I’d have posted something without verifying it, just based on secondhand info? :)

Heh. No, it just struck me as an odd thing to mention: I am now going to report something I consider important enough to blog about but which, by the way, I don’t actually personally care about at all, you know?

Oh, the “I don’t read it” was my way of covering in case there’d been a post on Monday saying “we’re going to be down for half a day Tuesday for maintenance” or something similar.

[...] off right, but I completely forgot that the new crew at Blog@Newsarama was still functioning until Johanna made comment of their momentary disappearance. But I also spend about 1/5th of the time on Newsarama that Idid [...]
