Now that we've established why lisp.org and its friends are long-term off air...
The website at lisp.org contained a photo of John McCarthy (and nothing else) since the week he died six years ago. What's the message?
In contrast take a quick look at (say) python.org, a site devoted to really assisting people to use that language.
Do we care, and if we do how do we go about effecting change?

I am concerned that alu.org (Association of Lisp Users), lisp.org and international-lisp-conference.org are all offline, and have been for at least several weeks.
The first two of these didn't really serve anything of use but the ILC site contained proceedings of several past conferences and shouldn't be lost.
Does anyone know what's going on? I can't write directly to the ALU because its site is down and so there's no contact list (and I imagine emailing @alu.org is like talking to a black hole).
