Title: Amiga.nl domain back where it belongs
Post by: PulsatingQuasar on November 04, 2006, 12:28:05 AM

For many, many months the amiga.nl domain was in the hands of a company that didn't rightfully own it. But now it is back where it belongs and the Dutch community website is now reachable again under www.amiga.nl

Welcome back people.

A lot of legal issues. Someone stole the domain, and apparently it takes a lot of time to get it back.

Good thing the domain's back so I don't have to remember that long url anymore on which it was available the last few months :-D

It would be great if the original owner of amigaworld.org could get his domain back.

No, for .nl it doesn't take a lot of time in e.g. paperworks. If you drop a complain at NIC.nl in most cases you have your domain back within a week. Not if the domain has been expired first ofcourse.
I mailed the moderators in June, I believe, sorry it took so long. Sigh.

Yes, it's good PR :P I'll generate some traffic.

Well, it's aimed at Dutch-speaking folks, so not much use having an English section =).
