Cybergoth Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hi there! So did they forget to pay the bill or so? Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari-Jess Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Actually yes. http://the-underdogs.info/ The Thai girl who runs it forgot to renew the domain. Its not the first time squatters have taken the address to this website! but looks like the downloads are still trying to connect to the old address Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory DG Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 How do you "forget" to renew a domain? About 6 months before ataritimes.com needed to be renewed, I was beseiged by several registrants asking me to switch to them! In addition to my current registrant bugging me about once a week to renew it. Baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maibock Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 No offense to TAT, it's a wonderful magazine, but with the traffic that The Underdogs generates, I'm sure people would pay dearly(much more than current rates) for the domain name..

You missed the point. If you own a domain name, TAT or Underdogs, you get endless reminders to re-register, MANY months in advance. According to wikipedia, she had a problem with her credit card. Well, she couldn't resolve that in six months? Or use another card? Or borrow someone's card to pay the ~$20 per year it costs to re-register? There's just no excuse for that kind of "forgetfulness."

jaybird3rd Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Uihjah... unbelievable this info is even in the Wikipedia Anyway, thanks! If you don't mind my asking, what does "Uihjah" mean? I tried googling it but didn't get many hits besides some of your old AtariAge posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried googling it but didn't get many hits besides some of your old AtariAge posts. "Uihjah" as in "surprise" and "alarm". You say it from the back of your throat.
