Okay!! We changed our "DNS servers to google ones" and it worked - see you over there!

What's up with TOB? All I see is a weird animated gif.

I got a page yesterday saying registration has expired. :( Jude, do you know how we can renew it? I'll be happy to make an emergency payment, and if others want to chip in later, they can.

I logged into the cPanel this morning and it said there was a "change" on July 3rd. Does that mean that it was renewed, and that we're just waiting for it to go through?

Can anyone get in touch with cem? I'd send her a PM on TOB, but at the moment, there's no TOB.

I did check our files, and it does like like everything is still there.

So I looked into renewing the domain name for TOB, and I'm confused - for b77 it's only 12 USD per year. According to the cpanel on Network Solutions, where it's registered, TOB has three things we have to pay for:

Domain Name Renewal: 37.99 USD
Private Registration for Domain Name: 15.99 USD
Reinstatement Fee: 25.00 USD
Total: 78.98 USD

Is this all necessary? What's with the big price difference? :help:

Just curious...any news? It seems like TOB is still down.

The domain name has expired, I haven't gotten any answers to my questions above, so I don't know what's next.

:( I don't have any answers for you. I'm hardly ever on TOB.

Jude, I don't know either. :( The $25 sounds like extortion for letting the domain name expire. The rest, I've no clue. I don't understand separate charges for domain renewal and "private registration."

I'll try messaging cem on Twitter...

So is TOB dead? :(

And what do you think the fate of b77 is going to be? I can't afford to pay the entire set of fees to keep this place afloat. :(

Unfortunately, I've heard back from Network Solutions and it appears the TOB files were deleted. It would have been nice to give us the chance to come up with the renewal funds. :(

Jude, I registered here just to say thanks for trying to get TOB back online. I wasn't sure what happened - whether cem moved it to her own website as she'd discussed, or technical problems, or ???? I suppose it was inevitable - so few of us were posting. Still, it's a pity we didn't get a chance to decide if we wanted to keep it or not.

And would you believe that TOB disappeared just when I was just about to say something nice about the TSA at the international departures at Dulles? Though going through both security and passport control in Europe was still far, far nicer.

aninkling, I'm sorry you lost TOB. :(

You're always welcome to post here or on Hall of Fire. Jude only posts here, though. Our general chit-chat thread is in The Turf, and it's called The Hippo Lounge. Please feel free to just jump into the conversation. Seriously.


I was coming here today to say that HoF has been down for me all morning. Anyone else?

Yeah, me too. :(

I don't let my computer autocomplete addresses, so it's getting really tedious typing in the whole "thehalloffire.net/forum" each time and ending up on google. :x Because then I always wonder if I misstyped something and but then I can't see the error- so I retype it! :bang: And the page doesn't change, so I don't know if the browser is even working right or not.

Akkk!

Inkling, I'm so glad you posted. I think you and Jude are the only posters with whom my only contract was through TOB. Although didn't I see you on TORC a few times? And I wanted to tell you about my last experience with going through airport security.

Yep, HoF is down for me, too. I thought my wifi was acting up.
