Your forum owner is the one who screwed you guys.
In case I have not be redundantly clear to all of you, here is a time line:
1. Domain expires in ~ May
I am none the wiser
Owner does nothing
Owner does nothing
Owner does nothing
2. June 20th (according to you) site is down since that evening
I have no clue
Owner still absent
3. June 23rd You start this thread.
I have no clue
Owner still absent
4. June 23 (late) I read this thread
I visit url. There is nothing there. I check go daddy and domain name available! Yippy! "Maybe I can sell it to someone because clearly it has been abandoned and there is a lot of good traffic going here"
Moderators don't know shit, have no clue what is going on with site, and cannot find owner.
5. June 24 I announce that I bought it.
and I said:
"It seems that the x5drivers.co.uk site owner has chosen not to continue on with the website, or some extenuating circumstances has disrupted the running of the site, or he/she decided the domain name was not to be renewed"
It really sounds like I did not plan on the owner wanting the domain back doesnt it?
I now legally own this domain name.
6. June 25
All of a sudden we learn that the site still exists and the domain name was let go by accident....
But how do we know all this when apparently all the people I have been speaking to are not OWNERS, but MODERATORS.
I had thought the person who messaged me about the domain and why I have it (and my offer was directed to) was an owner...apparently not.
- Lots of bullshit bantering on this thread
- Lots of bullshit bantering on this thread
- "Owner" or moderator sends me message, I make an offer (even though I never intended on selling back) I felt pressured to silence the "you killed Christmas" crowd. The offer I made was the same price I was going to charge Joe Shmo on the open market.
- "Owner" or moderator rejects offer.
- Lots of bullshit posts in this thread
- More bullshit posts in this thread
- I cave and make my offer to return for face value
- More bullshit posts in this thread

- Clueless moderator thinks all forums are run under a kumbaya basis, and the only people who make money on the internet make a living off of it, and because people enjoy the site no one is allowed to conduct fair business with the owner of the site.
- The owner is so accountable to all his lovable forum members that... he/she has no clue what has been going on... and so
- owner still missing
- owner still missing
