I wasn't aware that NSI had announced it was nonfunctional. If they officially know that it's down, whyintheheck do they still promote it on their web site? Call me crazy, but p romoting a service that they know is broken (and has been broken for months) and has no particular ETA to be fixed seems like a stupid thing to do. So Guardian is dead, and now there are going to be a lot more registrations like 'mybigstiffy.com' (try a whois on it), and a lot more people registering all sorts of domains and pointing them to random nameservers. Oh joy, what a wonderful leap *backwards* this all is.
