Amiga.org domain sold

[Crumpster]

Hi to all,

If this is a hoax, nice one guys, you got me! :lol:
If not, it's a sad day indeed for the community, my best wishes to all at Amiga.org. :-(

Anyway, to the point of this post: I just looked at the WHOIS info for the site and found the following info:

Domain Name:AMIGA.ORG
Created On:26-Apr-1995 04:00:00 UTC
Last Updated On:09-Jan-2004 21:51:16 UTC
Expiration Date:27-Apr-2004 04:00:00 UTC

Note the 'Expiration Date' of 27th April, this seems to lend weight to the fact it has been sold.

But I'm left asking a couple of questions:

Why update the site to XOOPS 2 then sell it a month or two later? Surely it would have been better to save the hassle, unless amiga.org will carry on with a new domain?

Just my two cents!

Cheers,
Graham C

Whabang spoke thus:

Last attempt? Maybe Wayne has finally gotten fed up with the endless complaints?

It could have been a last attempt to shut the naysayers up, I don't know. It just seemed to me that the site was gearing up for the future. Ah well, it'll be sad to see the site go.

@Wayne

Just a quick question: Will you be letting us know the reason(s) for the sale? I know it's none of our business, but it would be nice to know. :-)

Cheers,

DOH!!! I read it yesterday and didn't think to re-read the beginning of the thread before I posted. :whack: That'll teach me.

Thanks Wayne, and I hope you find a new job soon.

Hey I was got, Hook, line and indeed, sinker!! :roflmao:

Nice one Wayne and all Amiga.org guys!! :lol:  :lol:

So if this was just an expertly orchestrated April fool, what's the deal with the Amiga.org Domain expiration date of 27th April??? :-?
