More importantly, is someone out there happy to manage the site and pay the hosting fees etc.

The domain name not being re-registered was an accident.

The owner has chosen not to buy the domain back from me.

From what I understand, the owner WILL and always intended to CONTINUE THE FORUM, only now it will be under a DIFFERENT DOMAIN NAME.

I'm sure this site will continue but no thanks from you, your approach to self support non fee website is plain wrong, what your doing it holding the host name hostage and in turn causing the 100's of members to the site to loose their preferred forum. If I was you I would weigh up what you’re doing and pass back the hostname. Would you do the same thing to a charity etc if their hostname was to expire?

Having thought about it some more........we can't turn back the clock....... and as has been stated maybe a domain with X5 in it is not such a good idea. So for the sake of peace we should just let the domain thing drop and best of luck to the guy who bought it.

Maybe just maybe this is a good thing and taking a positive out of it, this now means the guys/girls and moderators on the old site can now get themselves a forum that they have more control over and for this never to happen again.

On a personal note I'm gutted that the site has ended in this way it's not what I wanted that's for sure and something I didn't think would happen.
