I'm not sure if Aaron's website was offline prior to the last couple
days or not, as I honestly don't remember the last time that I
visited, but it's offline now. Aaron once upon a time, used to work
for what was a really great ISP, aracnet.com, and that's apparently
where his website was still being hosted. Aracnet has vanished under
rather suspicious circumstances, and with it, both Aaron's website,
and my DEC emulation pages website.
I'm not sure what's going on, but Aaron's website seems to be working
for me this evening.

Not even slightly working for me. pdp8.org entered in a browser times
out. There are bits and pieces on archive.org. I tried on a remote
system in case there was a problem with the domain local to my house.
If the website is something other than the above, that would be my
problem. ( I also tried pdp-8.org, times out as well). pdp8.org is
registered to Aaron.

Same here. I get a "server failed" DNS error when trying to look up pdp8.org.
However, one of my ISP's nameservers still has the ip address cached for
pdp8.org as 216.99.193.149. The pdp8.org webserver is still active on that ip
address, however I cannot display the site in a browser because there are
multiple websites on that ip address and the default one is some art gallery
rather than pdp8.org.
It looks to me that if the domain name hosting is moved elsewhere, the problem
should be sorted out.
If there is a danger of the webserver going away, putting 216.99.193.149 into
a hosts file for pdp8.org (and maybe www.pdp8.org) might allow a browser to
find the site.
