I believe they changed the DNS address of the site during the power outage. Your browser likely has the old address stored rather than making an attempt to look up the current address.

edit: did you mean to say mathoverflow.net, not mathoverflow.com ? I didn't know mathoverflow.com was in use.

Our New York datacenter is still experiencing power issues. We are in the process of moving the Stack Exchange 1.0 infrastructure to our datacenter in Oregon. Please update your DNS records to point to:

69.59.197.25

It will show a down for maintenance page until we are ready to bring the sites back online later today.

I've updated the DNS records, so we should be back up soonish.

Hopefully we'll be back up tomorrow.

As of approximately 8:45AM EDT, all Stack Exchange 1.0 sites have been shut down due to flooding from Hurricane Sandy in our primary datacenter in New York. All servers were shut down preemptively to prevent damage and dataloss in the case of a power failure. No data has been lost, however, we do not have an estimate as to when service will be restored in the datacenter.

If reliable service in the datacenter has not been restored by 12PM ET tomorrow, we have plans to begin moving Stack Exchange 1.0 infrastructure to our secondary datacenter on the West Coast. If this happens, we will need all Stack Exchange 1.0 owners who have their own primary domain (i.e. not hosted at [site].stackexchange.com) to update your DNS records to point to the new datacenter.

We will send an update tomorrow with more information, and apologize for the inconvenience.

Stackexchange in NYC based, so it's not unreasonable.
