[thelist] whois and locked

That sounds like a simple re-point to the new hosting rather than transfer
of the domain. The website could have disappeared if a)the new nameservers
were entered incorrectly, b)the new nameservers are not configured properly
or c)the current hosting was turned off before the DNS had time to propagate
('they said I was impatient').

For a thorough examination of the DNS, try dnsstuff.com ( my affiliate link
is http://www.dnsstuff.com/amember/go.php?r=171169&i=b4 ). This might help
identify what the dns is up to, if not the domain lock.
