With that subject line I'm averse to visiting the site to see what 
happened. :-)

Did Tek re-purpose it or did someone else pick up the domain name (which 
is a good one)? Should we now stay away for POV-Ray purposes?

It's safe, but it has nothing to do with POV-Ray.  I do not know if Tek
did it, but the lapsing domain name hypothesis seems most likely.

Tek's website has not been functional for some time now, and I just
checked it to see if there was any update.  It now redirects to a
Wikipedia article about an obscenely wealthy evil non-so-super-brain who
is from the same country as Mark Shuttleworth (see "Reach for the Stars"
in the POV-Ray Hall of Fame), but who probably couldn't figure out how
to get through the POV-Ray tutorials.
