Hi Scott,
The short answer is that the ABEA digital morass team is aware of the problem and is working on it.
As for what happened: "We" (I wasn't personally involved, but I got copied on the email swarm) did some changes and GoDaddy changed the framostat secret decoder identification password. Or something like that.
When things have been fixed, I think you'll be able to find out about it from the Internet. ;-)
