ALERT -- possible site disruption

Ben Reilly wrote:Long story short, I got an email from forumotion.com saying that if we didn't "activate your domain name email address" as soon as possible, we could lose our domain name.

In case that happens, you can still find the forum by going to newsfix.niceboard.net.

Meanwhile, I'll try to figure out what the hell forumotion means ...

Important note:the name of the e-mail (e-mail) + password chosen are your coordinates identification for your e-mail box! If you forget the password of your personal e-mail box, simply return to this stage, edit the e-mail box and change the password.

Also, please see an edit to the OP I'm about to make ...

They've got some admin who barely speaks English and he/she keeps throwing gibberish at me like "The activation email is in the mail in the domain address mail only." ????

Here's the e-mail I got:



Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it seems very vague.

Don't know the Rational Behind it all; but the other political forum I'm a voting member of, was just recently told that if we wanted to keep our Domain Name we could purchase it for $35,000 dollars

Hello,

You have to validate your domain email address. Normaly you had received a email to the domain email address when you've bought it, you have to click on the link provided otherwise you will lost your domain name.

Well, that seemed rather a STEEP - GOUGING price for something we'd had since 2001 and the current owner had taken it over when the previous owner got gravely ill and then died.  Our server account has changed names and logistic location 5 times since 2001 and we only pay to keep our Community 'AD FREE' and that's a minimal fee.
But there certainly is something 'shifting' out in the world of 'domain servers' and I'm not sure the 'reasons behind it all'.

But Forumotion is a group of mostly foreign speaking people and their software guru's are mostly 'foreign speaking' people; do you not have a buddy within the Admin in Forumotion to fall back on when you have questions?

Ahhhh- haaaa; just as I suspected ...you didn't purchase this domain name, didn't you say you acquired ownership of this community from someone else - it was just passed over to you via ownership transfer?

I clicked onto your link and read the Admin's first PM to you >

That's EXACTLY, what is going on!

Ben Reilly wrote:They've got me thoroughly confused, but one thing's for certain -- while I did get and still have a confirmation e-mail after I renewed the domain name, I got nothing with a link saying I needed to click it to activate anything. Leviosa keeps insisting that I did, but I don't delete e-mails (why would I, since I use gmail) and I know that I did not.
