Tell HN: Steamcommunity.com has lost their DNS-A record

25 pointsby geek_at12 months ago
Currently steamcommunity.com (the official site where Steam users download Workshop items and have forums) is not resolving A records with most DNS providers<p>Seen here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.nslookup.io&#x2F;domains&#x2F;steamcommunity.com&#x2F;dns-records&#x2F;#cloudflare<p>When I did a dig on the A record it did not resolve with Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) but did resolve with 8.8.8.8, later not even that.<p>Seems like they have pushed a weekend update

According to whois the domain is marked ClientHold - this means the domain is subject to legal dispute or non-payment. :-o

Both 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 are showing as authoritative. That shouldn&#x27;t be the case, no?<p><pre><code> dig steamcommunity.com @8.8.8.8 ; &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; DiG 9.9.7-P3 &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; steamcommunity.com @8.8.8.8 ;; Got answer: ;; -&gt;&gt;HEADER&lt;&lt;- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 25750 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1</code></pre>

Well updating DNS records is not closely related to any product updates, though this might take a good time to migrate if it&#x27;s not well planned update.<p>I remember once my DNS record took more than 3 days to migrate. Now the site is not accessible.

It seems to only be resolving on some providers

Ah, thanks. I was wondering why I couldn&#x27;t access a game community, but didnt bother to check why.<p>I hope while the site is down, they do some kind of culling of all the spam BS that has been taking over more and more, especially the lame meme guides that are just AI trash or copypasta.<p>While they&#x27;re at it, they can cull some of the lame copypasta spam reviews as well. It kind of frustrating to take a quick peek at reviews and see ascii upvote cats and other tired memes.<p>Well, at least I can hope that they take care of it. What&#x27;s that phrase? Want in one hand, poop in the other, and see which one fills faster.
