Your domain registrar is having your dns delegated to 3 nameservers:

thought.org.        86400    IN    NS    ns1.thought.org.
thought.org.        86400    IN    NS    ns1.silvertree.org.
thought.org.        86400    IN    NS    ns1.twisted4life.com.
;; Received 142 bytes from 2001:500:48::1#53(b2.org.afilias-nst.org) in=20
32 ms

The last of the 3, ns1.twisted4life.com, is of the opinion that your=20
domain doesn't exist, given that it has no authoritative data and=20
refuses to do recursive lookups for the Internet at large.  I would=20
suspect that this would result in the coming and going visibility that=20
others have reported.  Basically, you don't exist a third of the time.

You need to make sure that all the nameservers you list with your=20
registrar are actually admitting to your existence and are getting=20
up-to-date data.  I recall having this conversation with you before.
