unofficial faq outage

[Faustus]

Even though I'm 99.9% sure nobody uses it the faq has been down a few days while I pulled my hair out trying to determine why the domain isn't working. Several days later I discovered that its for some reason possible to login into my registrar and not have it notifiy me that the domain is expired unless I specificly go look.

Should be fixed now and back up soon.

Do you mean anyone can login and do that?

[Faustus]

I mean I logged in myself and until I specificly looked nothing told me it was expired.

That's odd you would think that they would inform you, it is a way to generate a sale at the very least. I had domain registered with Netsol that I never used and let expire, they informed me no less that 20 times before it did.

I'm sure they sent an email, but I dont check that email addy often. I just found it odd that there wouldn't be something that came up right after you logged in saying "DOMAIN EXPIRED" in giant letters.

I think there's a 90 day grace period, and yes I would think as soon as you logged in it would have expired in large red letters. Least you didn't lose it.... I have it on backorder. Damn!!!!! That would have made a good name for a porn site.

I think there is a grace period on it being take away. But the provider seem to shut me off on the very day.

Did you really back order it?

CrystalMidnight would seem like a bad name for a porn site to me....

Nope but I checked to see if it was, it used to tell you right off the bat. Now you gotta log on so that was as far as I got. I was hoping to get a "this has already been back ordered message" so I could post it.
