Weird.  When I go there, I get redirected to alioth.
I did a whois on the domain and see:

Registrant:
   Tux4Kids
   PO Box 57343
   Tucson, Arizona 85732
   United States

   Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com)
   Domain Name: TUX4KIDS.COM
      Created on: 15-Dec-03

   Administrative Contact:
      Hart, Samuel N  sam at bigmannetworks.com
      PO Box 57343
      Tucson, Arizona 85732

...etc.

So it looks like it's supposed to still be Sam's, and good through 2013.

Confused,

-bill!
