We will be taking this server offline in order to resolve these issues at approximately 9:00 PM EST on Tuesday, May 15th. These repairs will result in 30 to 90 minutes of downtime, and will affect all accounts on the Nexus server."

QBInquirer down...
It was short but pleasant: QB Inquirer (QBI) is down again now...
There are rumors that the person who's hosting it, took it down because the owner of the domain didn't pay for it yet.
Nothing is too sure about it though... Perhaps it was an evil attack from someone who was featured in the articles? We'll probably never find out...
