ED is down March 2012

Update: After SWITCH was contacted and asked for the reason why the nameservers for encyclopediadramatica.ch were deleted, a source responded, "encyclopediadramatica.ch had to be inactivated and blocked due to a court order from the criminal prosecutor of the Canton of St. Gallen.

Update #2: At roughly the same time ed.ch was inactivated, the domain registration was changed to list Ryan's mum, Rita as the technical contact.

Yesterday, the nameservers for encyclopediadramatica.ch were deleted from the registrar for Swiss domain names, SWITCH.

Last October, Sven Slootweg changed the registrar records to indicate that the new owner was Ryan Cleary. Speculation leads to the possibility that representatives of Cleary are responsible for deleting the nameservers from the records, since he agreed to avoid using the internet on condition of his release from jail while he awaits trial on multiple charges.
