I am so glad the lounge is back up!! I was a little freaked out by it just being gone all of sudden.

I was surprised to see so little metioned. It's like "poof!" and we don't exist. I'm not a Myspacer, but I read a couple posts that said something like "hey, guys your domain name expired" but that was it. Isn't there a Live Journal group, too?
Another board I'm on went down for maintenance (we had a few days warning, and it was actual upgrades) and I set up a refugees group over on Yahoo. Shouldn't we have something like that? -------------------- Standing in the middle of life with my pants behind me.

Meerkat used to have an alternate Lounge for us, but when he disappeared, it was shut down.

i couldn't get the main page or any other page for that matter. and there was nothing posted on the bustie myspace page about what was going on either. wierd.
didn't there used to be a crash site to check in on just in case something like this happened? i seem to recall... |

I went through the motions of trying to register Bust.com, just to see if I could. There must be a "safe harbor" period after expiration since I was given notification that it wasn't available.

So, we're ALL right ... cause renewing the domain name is part of maintenance!
 But I wonder why the main page still came up -- and I also noticed the "Girl Wide Web" stuff had some goo instead of what it should have. Loungelady! Inquiring minds want to know! -------------------- Lion-hearted

Yeah...we wondered if one of our favorite numptys would snatch up the domain name!

It scared me, too. I even worried about what would happen if someone else snagged the domain name! What would we do?!
I'm also surprised that Network Solutions shut the place down so quickly. And on a weekend, too! Felt kinda sneaky to me. But I've never bought a domain, so what do I know! |

I think the Network Solutions notice over the weekend - which said that the domain had expired and was up for grabs if not re-claimed a.s.a.p. by the original owner - was pretty clear evidence it was more than "maintenance." That being said, I can see how such a thing would happen - I bought a domain name once, and I believe I got only one notice in the mail about renewing it. (I let mine expire on purpose.)

QUOTE(roseviolet @ Nov 21 2006, 08:02 AM)  It didn't look like simple maintenance to me. It looked like someone forgot to pay the bill for the domain. I agree...as when I tried to log-in on sunday it said the domain had expired and was for sale. -------------------- I Could Tell You Stories That Would Make Your Ears Curl

Having all new equipment and software, and trying to program web things, I will say:
SIMPLE maintenance?! What's simple about it?! Also, things will just snarl themselves up for the hell of it. The new 'ware is so shiny and powerful it trips over itself. I miss the late 90s. Things had gotten to a really nice solid optimum stability point. Okay, so, some things were less convenient and fun -- photos and music come to mind -- but this stuff is fidgier than ever. Fidgy. Word I made up that seems to fit. They let us know they were changing from discus (was that the name of it or just the directory) to Invision, and... it's not always gonna run hitch free. But, who knows -- maybe we were hacked by a blocked ass hat. -------------------- Lion-hearted

And if it were simple maintenance, why no warning?
