Burn the witch:stickpoke

hi guys & girls
 

:wow:did not expect the site 2 go down like that

lets hope it gets going again

good 2 c everyone seems 2 have made it here:thumbup:

I find it amazing, that one person has yet to agree with my stance. Perhaps I am wrong...nope don't think so.

The management of x5drivers has told me to take a hike, so rest assured your beloved forum will be up and running with a new and improved name in no time.

Looks like we have a new forum villain.

What you looking to make off of that name? Who was the old villain of the forum?

It is very likely I will make nothing from the name.

I don't think we have a forum villain...and usually no one chooses to be one, in my case it was sort of a self fulfilling prophecy.

I hope I am only a villain of the Lounge section of Xoutpost.

On second thought maybe they are smarter than me for keeping silent.

Hi All,

Godfather has ceased on an opportunity when the domain became available in the open market. From what I tell he has also registered the x5drivers.com about the same time.:(

He had every right to grab the domain because its a free for all when the domain is placed back in the pot. I'm not trying to defend his intentions because I too would like the X5D site to back online.

But he is not the root cause of the site going offline.

However, I've not seen any responses from the administrators/owners of X5D site posting any information as to why they let the domain elapse ?

Because if they wanted to keep continue with the site they had ample opportunity. Nominet who is the registry for all .co.uk domains would have suspended the domain for non-payment. They would have even tried to contact the owners by sending them a pro-forma invoice for the renewal fee assuming the correct details were logged when the domain was registered. When nominet suspend the domain, the site would go offline automatically and should have raised an alarm with the site administrators/owners. However, the legal registrant would still have enough time to renew the domain if they really wanted to.

Anyway, moving forward not sure if its worth negotiating a fee to buy the domain(s) from Godfather or to register a new domain.

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

May aswell sell it back to them for what you paid, then everyone is happy, I can't see them making you a good offer out of principlel! But obviously its your call! can't see you making much from out of it anyway as there is a few x5driver domains forsale including x5drivers.com, I know the godfather was a top hustler but c'mon man
