All refugees welcome here.


I was entertaining offering a small amount...you know...to make this thing go away, get the forum users back on track....

It would appear to me now that it's pointless...and the UK forum users would be much better starting fresh. However, I will offer this to "The Godfather"...

You can have my answer now, if you like. My final offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming(domain) license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.

Your response about NFP sites and FP sites is invalid. It doesn't matter what the owners chose to do with the site. It was an error (at least apparently,) and therefore, the good nature that does exist in all of us to a certain extent should not have made an attempt to re-sell at a profit, but more of a "your welcome" gesture.

In the end, whether you believe in Karma or not, someone will take something of yours that you overlooked, and it will be missed by you. Lets see how you handle that situation (however, I would suggest not complaining about it when it does happen, and certainly not on this forum .)

still having a dig at him when no one knows how much he offered it for but we know how much he paid .
I doubt if he actually tried to make a lot of money by the tone of his posts .
I certainly don`t like the pre-emptive bashing you are all giving him .
I`m sure a few of you invest money for your own profit so you can`t call the kettle black , as the saying goes .

I am interested in who you think is the right person, assuming you mean our original forum owner?

Please clarify...

(Clarify means to make clear)

Nice pic of the white X by the way

It actually has...(if u look into the political threads )

Look things happened...which obviously are not sitting good with most here...but everyone seems to be ganging up on Thegodfather even tho he's not entirely responsible here...U guys should share some of the 'love' showed to Godfather with the person who dropped the ball in the first place...

So far the accusations are quite unbalanced...

Hell, I'm tempted to buy the name from him just to end all this crap... what a trainwreck!

Otherwise, hopefully all the refugees feel free to reside here permanently or till your site is back online. We are generally a nice and helpful bunch.

I just learned that domain names do not expire on the day that the whois database says.

Apparently after the stated expiration date, the domain goes into "expiration" mode and is not yet put on the market, and the owner is allowed to renew it without penalty, and later on with penalty before it is finally put on the open market.

This can apparently last for 75 days.

Please read: How to Snatch an Expiring Domain | Mike Industries

I just discovered this now.

The owner must have had over a month to get on this, and because he didn't you bitch a complain that I am a bad guy. As I have said over and over again, when I purchased the domain, as far as I was concerned it was no longer wanted.

I had no affiliation with x5drivers.co.uk, I was never a member, and I remember visiting once quite some time ago. Why should I be held to some sort of false doctrine that I am to take it easy because I am a member of another forum?

Nobody seems to be acknowledging my attempt to raise the white flag. My offer is conditional but it is under an appropriate condition.

You're all taking this very personal. This is business and you guys are taking it very, very personal

It's not personal, It's strictly business.

Even if you don't want to keep it due to possible legal matters you can "dispose" of it or use it to redirect traffic to your new domain name. This offer is 100% genuine and I make it to bring closure and peace...

...I guess if we go through with my proposition above you don't have to buy this domain
[x5drivers.COM], and it is my loss.
The condition that the site be not for profit is absolutely fair.

If the website is for profit, then in that case for the owner and all of you to expect me to simply hand over the domain for face value, is just as much as a tough deal as me expecting monetary compensation for the domain. It is self serving in both cases.

If I handed it over to a for profit forum, then that would mean the owner (an online business owner) would be profiting from my stupidity and weakness.

If it's not for profit. I stand down.

Clearly for both parties, it has become a matter of principal not money.

Just curious;
The very first post in this thread expressed some concern about
the site in question. Has anyone talked to the owner?
Does he or she bear any responsibility for what has happened
regarding this issue?

Did the owner abandoned the site? Or what exactly happened?
Seems like the owner of the site didn't care. Is that correct?

x5 drivers site

Hi there,
seen all the banter.
what I would like to know is: where are all the files etc from the site?
How and when can a new UK site be started up?
Missing all the info and banter, it is like a drug, and I'm missing my daily ''fix''.
