I did a little checking on the "whois" server, and two days ago rge21 and advantageplayer were both registered to Viktor, set to expire 02/11/05. As of today, this is no longer the case. The details have been "hidden" by intentional misuse of the whois database (or so the error message reads).
Maybe someone from rge21.com wants to comment? Viktor, what's going on?
Whatever happened with whois coincided with www.advantageplayer.com being unavailable, which also coincided with the statement on Snyder's site (Fight Club) that something was happening there.
On the "fight club". Didn't know what to make of it since there was no other reference to any sort of rge21 problem.
So, for me, "no idea" is the response to the question "what is going on?" :) Seems to be back to normal, so might have just been a server glitch, or some sort of backup/restore activity to correct some sort of problem... maybe someone will post an explanation over there at some point in time...
I have no clue about the server issues you raised and don't really care since the site is now fine. But I think that you misinterpreted the string of messages at Snyder's site. I suspect that the "break up" you reference has to do with old history between prior owners and/or principals of RGE and nothing current.
