Well awesome. It may not come back at the same time for everyone - it has to propagate through the Internet saying "hey, this name points to this new IP addres now."
Now verification e-mails should be able to reach Hotmail and Yahoo (as well as those of us with plantwars.com e-mail addresses being able to reach them).
Verifying people manually was a huge pain in the ass, and probably lost some potential users.
Good stuff :) I'm not thinking you lost to much on all that. Seeing that most of us are asking friends to join. I know I resent some e-mails to the ones I originally had. :)
