Check it out! Looks more like Gearslutsssss now LMAO
Edit: The 'official' explanation: "There was a typo in one of the nameservers and a spammer registered the typo domain name and has done this redirect."
It looks like the typo was gearsluts.com, which uses the same registrar and name servers as gearslutz.com and was created not long after the creation of GS. I still don't understand how or why a manual entry was made.
Pinging 'sluts' returns 176.56.59.10, which is the correct IP address for GS.
Pinging 'slutz' returns 141.8.224.116, which is the IP address for 'sluts'.
Both URLs get you to the 'sluts' page... how does that work?
Further edit: Answering my own question: The nameservers were updated, but my cache needed flushing! Now, 'sluts' redircts to 'slutz'!!!!! Pwnage ;D
