Amiga Inc formally dead?
« on: April 09, 2010, 02:21:07 PM »
Good morning guys,
 
I know this is pretty much a case where a search would have been helpful, but I am wondering if Amiga Inc is officially dead and buried.
 
Was browsing around this morning when I notice that Amiga.com won't pull up.  This could just be my work connection, which censors everything for my protection, but a WHOIS gets me;

Feb 11, 2010 ... amiga.com. This domain name has been suspended due to invalid Whois information.
 If you are the registrant of this domain name please ...

Then I notice on the bunny that all of the trademarks were suspended YEARS ago under challenge;

As such, is Amiga Incorporated officially gone, dead and buried?

Well, if you go here: https://www.verio.com/domain-name-registration/index.cfm?cid=%27%24JGTS%20SLS%40%20%20%0A
 
and check for amiga.com, it is available for just $9.95 a year.

Yes, but if you try to purchase it (as I did) it comes up as not available.  I'm guessing it's pending deletion for the invalid WHOIS info..
 
The way the expiration date works is that the date listed (the 2011) is to allow godaddy to keep it in their system during the grace period, which I'm not sure applies.

I don't think anyone can touch it until the expiration date expires. I'd equate it to the unofficial parking space by not letting it resolve.
Called Godaddy, you are correct.  It expires in June, but is suspended currently for invalid WHOIS information and there's been no attempt to correct that issue.
 
Dead.  The line forms to the left.
