By the way. The aioe usenet server seems to have been off line since
12/8. I went to see if their website had any info and it's missing
too. Does anyone have info on what's going on with them?

Dunno. I had an account with them until early October of 08.
They dropped rec.crafts.metalworking so I signed up with Newsguy.
