I need ya'll to discuss and decide on a new domain name. GoDaddy is being a pain. The domain appears to have expired on 09/22 and GoDaddy is wanting a stupid amount to reactivate it and is holding it hostage for 175.00 The website is hosted thru moonfruit and I can get thedreadheads.org or something but GoDaddy won't release .com
This is my fault I paid for a 3yr domain and time is up lol
Decide do I pay the 175 ransom or do we change our url? If you wanna change it to what? HELP

I know as much about domains and the internet as I do about quantum physics so, I don't know what to do. Kali, if we use thedreadheads.net, how much does that cost? Will all the stuff on this site be saved to there? If we keep what we have and pay the $175, how long is that good for?
And, lastly, if two trains are traveling to Chicago, one from Las Vegas and one from New York City, each at 75 miles per hour, how who will reach Chicago first and, by how much? ;D

It sounds like it would have been $175 anyway to renew for 3 years...is that right?
If we go to a dot net are we as easily found?
How much is a dot net?
Deb, I think all our forum info is not affected as Kali has it on moonfruit... is that right?

I think we should all contribute (anyone who is willing & able), to save the .com I don't think we'd be as easily found for new members if we switched to .net or .org or somethng like that.

Gotta agree with Amanda about keeping the dotcom. How's this for an idea? Anyone who would be willing to contribute towards the $175, post here. Then, when we see how many can help, we can figure out how much each. KALI!elebenty-one Is there a way to send a mass PM to everyone active on this site, in case they don't see this thread? This way, everyone can be included.
I'll start the list:
1. Deborah77 (the next Mrs. Shatner ;D)

Kelly has done a request for funds in the past via Paypal thru email. It has always worked before. Why not try it again and only use the money if it gets fully funded. That way each person can donate what they can.

That way each person can donate what they can. That would work too. I just thought that if we knew how many folks could help, we each would have a better idea of how much to send to Kali. If someone who was at first in, decided that they couldn't afford to contribute the amount needed per person, they wouldn't be bound by the amount we come up with but, could send whatever they could. Then when all is said and done, Kali could let us know if she's short and, more could be sent to her. Paypal is the way to go IMO and, if someone doesn't have it, they could just send Kali a check. I'll go with the majority on this.
