Title: Back online
Post by: ShaneJ on August 03, 2010, 12:10:27 PM
Hi everyone

Due to no one keeping an eye on the expiry date of our domain name lease, buga.com.au expired which was the reason our site has been down.
The domain name is currently in the process of being transferred into my name and will be set to automaticly renew. Because the transfer is not complete at this time it is possible the site may stop working again.

But for the time being, we're back online.. woohoo ;D ;D ;D

Yikes! We're lucky it wasn't taken over by Chinese domain squatters. Happened to a friend of mine once. His domain expired and they jumped in there, took it over, and wanted 50,000 bucks for it!

Luckily with .au domains the registrar has to keep the domain locked for 30 days after the expiry in case their notice of expiry doesn't reach the lease owner.
