The WHOIS information on their sites was readily visible until we sort of started to use it against them, then all of it - even existing sites - went private.
Except for the original EHWR domain's record, since that's needed in order to be able to learn about Triton Enterprises.
ETA:
I should note that ultimately this is an outgrowth of the very first mistake they made: Tom McLaughlin using as Van Mantra's mailing address in the EHWR domain record an address that could be tied directly to Tom via Google.
That's what initially led us to Mind Storm Labs in the first place. They didn't like that, because right after I sent MSL this email on July 7:

Why is Van Mantra's domain record address for ethanhaaswasright.com the same as an address previously used by Tom McLaughlin, listed as "The Suit" for Mind Storm Labs?
Tom deleted the wedding blog of his that contained the same address, and Van's address in the domain record changed to one in New Brunswick.

By the way, since the domain has now been openly posted in the other thread by the person who has been berating me, are we now simply considering it, for all intents and purposes, "inferring by relevant guesswork"?
Just trying to figure out if I should just put it up on my blog's sidebar now. Heh.

You can if you want, but it doesn't really mean anything until there's something actually there.
The MSL guys must either really like us by now or really hate us. If you or anyone here goes to GenCon Indy, use an assumed name.

Too early to tell. They may decide not to use it at all and come up with something completely different just to respond to us. After all, they already seem to have been paying attention to us (or at least you, Bix), so for all we know, the site may be a deliberate red herring to throw us off the scent. I suppose that, in and of itself, may be considered "in game", however.

For what it's worth, email to info@ the Divinus domain bounces back as undeliverable.
However, email to reservations@ does not bounce back as undeliverable, although nothing, as of yet, responds from it.

reservations@ auto-response not working for me...maybe they didn't believe you had the domain right, b!x, and shut it off after they started getting emails too soon? it doesn't bounce, but no reply, either.

Maybe so. Although I should mention that when I first tried the address last night, it vanished into a hole. It wasn't until this morning on my second try that I got a response. So, last night it wasn't working. But this morning it was.

The auto-response still works for me...
On another auto-responder type thing: Am I the only person who is getting spamed by the MSL newsletter welcome email? Still getting one ever 6 to 12 hours.

Autoresponse For anyone that hasn't received an auto response yet, I just received my first one. This is after 7 attempts over the course of 3 days.
