I cleared my cache but still cannot get drama addicts! Anybody got a suggestion?
(Also that guy Merky is clearly a bit of an ass, judging from his instructions: "Update your host files. Don't know? Google" almost guaranteeing that I will now want to e-mail him every fifteen minutes for the next week just to annoy him. )

Never mind. I was able to get it.
For those in the same boat, just emptying the cache is not enough. I had to reset Safari
completely. Then it worked. (If you're using Safari and don't know anything about computers, like me, just click "Safari" at the top of your screen, and choose "reset safari" from the drop down menu.)

Sure, just update your host files, its in your windows/sys32 folder. dont know, google.

Just wait.
Technical explanation: DNS (name to number lookup) answers get cached; in particular your local ISP's server still has a stale answer which is why you're not seeing d-a as back again yet. You're not going to get the ISP to reload their nameserver for you so you just have to wait for their cache to time out. The "host files" thing that blog is talking about is basically a way to tell your own computer "don't ask the internet about this, always assume this name is this number". This is a bad idea because you'll forget about it and then if/when d-a changes server in the future you'll have no idea why your system is busted and nobody else has a problem.
(All this caching is rarely a problem because there are ways to make changes appear seamlessly if you plan ahead and do things in plenty of time; it only bites server admins who do things at the last minute :-))
ETA: if fiddling with safari was sufficient then either safari is caching things it doesn't drop on 'empty cache' or you were just lucky and the DNS server's cache timed out while you were fiddling.

Sure, just update your hosts file, add 'd-addicts.com' to the list. Wait, what?
Just think if everyone said 'just Google it'. Then we'd, you know, have a list of results that say 'just Google it'.
Anyway I was able to access it immediately yesterday or whenever without having to do anything. Now I can go back to never visiting the site but glad it's there.
