Plus, it looks to me (and what I am seeing might not be up to date because of the aforementioned propogation problems) that PP still has the domain pointing to the porn ip on the nameservers he switched to.

Here is the return on a request for the "A" record from the nameservers he switched to:

As you can see, the new name servers are apparently still returning the old ip. Now, this could be old cached data that interip originally pulled from webairs nameservers, but it is more likely that PP went in, switched the nameservers and pointed them at the old host because of a lack of understanding of DNS.

Since the nameserver will still return an ip of 69.42.75.204, anyone looking for the site is going to end up at that ip.

Another note, it has been conventional wisdom in this biz to not run a mainstream site off an adult sever because of this kind of problem along with email blacklistings, SE associations, Porn filters and the like. If you choose to host a mainstream site off a server that allows adult hosting, you have to be extremely careful. The conventional wisdom is that mainstream and adult don't mix. Unless you know exactly what the fuck you are doing you should not be hosting mainsream sites that you don't want associated with porn on a server that allows adult, period.
Just quoting this so Platinum Pimp can read it a second time. Maybe he'll finally realise that he's wrong and owes Webair an apology.
