wow... these computers do cache forever...

this screenshot was taken today feb 9th on a WIN 98 computer that i have used before... but it was a LONG time ago... (like.. right after the site went down)

i mean its no big deal... but im just saying that, the page still pops up if i type in http://www.indyddr.com but if i type in indyddr.com or http://www.indyddr.com/forums then itll go to the new site..

Hold down shift and hit reload. That should force it to pull a recent copy. If it still gives you that page, there is a cache somewhere out of your control (likely your ISP) that is very, very broken.

If you are no longer connected to the internet, you need to apply more wax to your modem: it'll make it go faster.
If you find this funny, you're a nerd.
If neither of the above apply, you are normal. Congratulations.

You have been hacked. Major league hacked. It may be spyware; it may be a trojan. You need to fix your computer. My first suggestion would be to use something other than Internet Explorer and see if the problem goes away.

If that fixes it, you need to fun something like Spybot, Ad-Aware, Cleaner, or, failing all those, break out a copy of Hijack This and see if you can find anything amiss.

Personally, I'd write the system off as compromised and blow it away, reformat the hard drive, and reinstall everything. Of course, if you're running WindowsXP, you may have to go beg Bill Gates to use your operating system again.

Make sure you keep up to date on the weekly (if not more often) security patches from Microsoft, especially if you're using IE actively.

Well, if it's happening only at one site, it may be a very, VERY, VERY broken proxy server (and whoever set it up should be fired, and probably thrown in a stockade for a few days). Either way, something's broken on your end.

That image that replaced the website button is somebody else's avatar. Those certainly don't have the same URL, and anything (be it a browser or caching proxy) that would get confused on that needs to be browbeaten into submission.

ive had the same thing happen on HighImpactHalo.org before too... and some other forums.... but ill talk to someone at school and see whats up...
