Monero Observer clearnet site experiencing intermittent outages, onion operational

The Monero Observer clearnet site has been experiencing intermittent outages when accessed through Tor in the past ~72 hours. However, it should be accessible through clearnet. The onionsite has always been reachable.

Incident overview

* [Outages Reported] monero.observer > Tor
* [Operational] monero.observer > Clearnet
* [Operational] MO .onion > Tor

I am still investigating the issue; currently testing new name servers. Feedback is welcome (for clearnet & onion) via email/XMPP.
