I think he's referring to the fact fidonet.ca/fidonews is pointing back to 
http://www.fidonews.org, but the information on fidonews.org is outdated. 
Here is specifically what I see on fidonews.org right now that sticks out the 
most.

And at the very top of the page

Almost everything here is broken. Had an HD crash last week. Can't
   afford a new one for a while but managed to stuff quite a bit into a
   much smaller drive. So things like mailing lists, phorun, findabbs,
   and software database are still AWOL. Back issues via HTML should be
   available but not FTP. Site response is slow because still depending
   on granitecanyon.com 'free DNS' until I can get the rest of bind
   ironed out.

And as mentioned, fidonews.org is someone else's control right now? 

If at http://www.fidonet.ca/fidonews the parent directory link is clicked, 
it leads to http://www.fidonet.ca. Where the link to fidonews.org is 
located
