Something at ATS changed. A few weeks ago you could get to ATS by going to [IP Address]/forum/. I remember doing it.
Here is a thread that confirms it.

Hi guys,
I am compiling a list of my favorite websites and their IP addresses so when TPTB shut down the internet DNS servers I will still be able to access my sites.
Problem.
75.126.76.151 will not resolve to www.abovetopsecret.com
here's the "official" info
whois.domaintools.com...
Just to prove it should work, here is yahoo's 209.131.36.158
Any help appreciated.
My firewall or router shouldn't be an issue.

It looks like it's because it's the ip address of the datacenter hosting the websites Abovepolitics.com, Abovetopsecret.com & Belowtopsecret.com.
So the IP address 75.126.76.151 is the IP which reverse resolves to the company hosting ATS - 75.126.76.151-static.reverse.softlayer.com.
You should be safe enough using that IP unless ATS decide to move hosting companies.
The company that hosts this are softlayer.com...

Nope
That doesn't work either.
Maybe one of the principals could weigh in on this?

You might be able to get away with putting the domain and ip in your hosts file.
Windows 95/98/Me: c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro: c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP Home: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows later or Mac: Unsure (Google it)
Linux: /etc/hosts
I'm not sure how to test whether or not it works though. You'd have to somehow make sure normal DNS wasn't resolving.
Even still, I'm not sure in the event of a global DNS outage ATS would be of any help if people can't get here by IP address. Few people surf by ip and even fewer know how to use their hosts files.
