What happened to Tuxmachines??

I 've been trying for the last day and more to get to Tuxmachines and it keeps telling me that

The server at www.tuxmachines.org is taking too long to respond.
The requested site did not respond to a connection request and the browser has stopped waiting for a reply.

.
If you go to http://67.33.45.3/, then Tuxmachines appears, but it takes more than a minute in ADSL2 line.
I guess (and hope...) that it has something to do with its hosting company and that it will be up and running in the next few days. It would be a real shame if the best Linux news site closes...And a real blow on getting new information about what's going on with Linux.

EDIT: TUXMACHINES IS UP AND RUNNING AGAIN TODAY 01 FEB 09!!
