Re: [wiki]: Renew domain name?
 

The auction for the domain name was close to $100, last time I checked.

I believe the domain is still in the grace period, so Bjorn (aka phrontist) still has a chance to renew it, but there isn't any chance of anyone else registering it besides the auction winner.

Both Brandon and I tried to contact Bjorn, with no response. Without his help, you can forget about firstwiki.org


I did register firstwiki.info (for 99 cents), if anyone is interested in using that instead.

I have some terrible news. A new site has taken over the firstwiki.org(just in case you click on it, I am redirecting it to Google as there are pop ups) domain. It looks like one of those take over the internet with fake content just to get a pop up add type of sites.

EDIT: Firefox does not realize that there are pop ups. Don't think your safe using it.

For me, its just a squater page. The WHOIS still points to phrontist, but it is beyond the period to do anything about it.

I would recommend phrontist contacting GoDaddy (the registrar on the WHOIS) and seeing what he can do. I don't think anyone can register for it yet.

That particulare page says that the results are cached and older then 30 days. The current whois info shows the new owner.

Re: [wiki]: Renew domain name?
 

Since it looks like a domain name acquiring company has now registered firstwiki.org, would it just be possible to leave the FIRST Wiki at it's current address of wiki.chiefdelphi.com? We could always rename it CD-Wiki, stick the CD vBulletin page headers and footers onto it, and put a link next to CD-Events above. Where's CD-47 Bot? ;)
