Default What's this I hear about GF1 Closing?! - 11-18-2005, 03:23 PM

I was brousing about late last night, and I came across Zone say something about the domain about to go up?

Of course, I cannot find it now, but anyways...

Is it true? Is GF1 about to close?

BS has said nothing to me or any of us about this.

For now, dispense with the Chicken Little impression and carry on as per usual.

Well they said the domain is up Dec. 22. I don't know about the hosting service. With this kind of traffic it's probably 100 a year easy.

from godaddy.com its like $8/year for a domain, and if badscript is paying whatever he pays per month for the hosting, has to be at least $30/month im sure he can afford the $8/year.

we cant just let this lie until the 22nd dec or it will just go under and any hope of trying to get the community together to do something about it, like raise funds via paypal or what not will not be possible.

We could give modship of a forum to whoever pays like 25 bucks or something.








Maybe we could pay the hosting company in GFD, that's got to have a high exchange rate.
