Its possible it was in the grace period, which is a designated time between non payment before a domain goes up for sale for the owner to true up and retain it.

It also possible the new owner (maybe the domain name service?) kept the dns address the same to resolve to the hexbear server. It would keep working, but the owner can break it at any time.
