I feel like this might have been alluded to in another of your comments, but if the owner of TDW is going against you why does it redirect here? Did you update it without him knowing and when he finds out he will shut it down?
Yes, they can, but this seems pretty big and would require quite a bit of organization, and if there was that organization, I'm sure we would have seen it here. Of course, it could be just a simple goof up in some of the networking gear configuration way higher up.
The mods here probably had access to the server the site is hosted on, while the guy only had access to the domain. I could be wrong, and this is what I think is happening, but it would be nice for that to be clarified. TDW doesn't seem to be working anymore.
