Additional context
The DNS server, hostmaster.donuts.email., appears to still be linked, so the issue is from the DNS server and not the registrar

The site is down right now due to an issue with our registrar.

There's not much I can do right now other than wait for a response.

May I say a REAL BIG suggestion:

If FunkoPop's AI B.S. is an issue, and they are taking down the Itch site, there may be an option, depending on how much you have on BOTH money and resources (I am not a lawyer, but understand a but more than meets the eye)...

Money is the key word here, Not just resources...

If they (Funko, especially the AI) were to force a site down and cause trouble WITHOUT a DMCA letter AT ALL. Strike back via DMCA, at all costs... Simple as that, If they do not respond, SUE SUE SUE!!! Get yer actual lawyers and get your lawbooks... Study up and fight back, Hopefully in your case the court will do (or might pick from the) three:

-1. actually file a Warrant against Funko's source company in behalf of the Itch community and save the server
-2. They (Funko) will pay a fine, and give us (Itch) back our data reguardless,
-3 Anyone involved at Funko will never ever work with Itch (Still get your servers back...)

Personally I'd like all 3 penalties to happen to Funko... (But notice still: I am just not a lawyer, Take it with a grain of salt)

(Stealing Servers with Plain AI is "Unjust Evil", Bad Business Practice and also Grand Theft Computer, should be resulted someone/somecomputer doing so in a buisness being tracked down and having a real investigation via an requested warrant)

I hope Itch gets back to it's knees, I know it is hard, But it is time to fight a good fight,

Best Wishes!
