Brief Site Blackout

Post by fern »

The blackout this place suffered for a while was just the effect of having the account by ICD with the server coming to an end precisely during the week- end, with Quentin out of business. It was restaured as fast as he knew about this, today in the morning. Any other interpretation of this is out of place.

I explained much the same thing at every forum I went to yesterday. Naturally, the Vas-Kissers at Rybka were either too ignorant to understand what "expired domain" means or too obsessed with finding fault here to care. A couple even suggested that they'd buy the domain before the owners could (and I assume shut the site down), as though there wasn't (generally) a 75 day waiting period before the domain became available for purchase.
