I know there have been some hiccups over the past couple of months with this...

The openvmshobbyist.com site was at John Wisniewski's house, with the licensing
back end still on Montagar. After John passed away, the hobbyist front end was
on autopilot for a while until a power failure at his house. The system was then
relocated and brought back up at the Montagar site, with some quick DNS
changes to make this work. Of course, it seems that not everything was changed
at that point.

I'll see if this can get sorted out. Keep in mind that the hobbyist infrastructure is run
by a few volunteers (who have real jobs), and John W's passing has left a big hole.
