There is some problem with our registrar. We are working on solving this, but right now we can't do anything and have to await their respons. :(

I know now. It's a big mess. A phishing site that we didn't detect. The victim obviously contacted the registrar instead of us. The registrar sent an email that didn't reach me and they locked the domain. FBI is involved too. Possibly they contacted the registrar.

I hope it can be fixed, but it involves costs and if they get too large I don't know. They also want notarized papers sent to them and I don't even know if it's possible for me to meet their time frame for all this.

So make sure you get all your email and read it boys and girl. :(

:shock: Oh sh*t... That sounds like such a mess. What do they expect you to do though, work miracles? :td: What do they want notarized papers for? If there's anything I can do, let me know :)

I don't know. I wrote and asked for more detailed instructions since I didn't understand all of what they wanted me to do, but I haven't heard back yet.

They suck donkey dong! :P

They should at least try to understand the nature of what you are doing. It's unfortunate it's gone so far.

Again, if you need any help or I can do anything, let me know :)

Today we paid a penalty fee to get ababa back from the registrar. User sites will be kept offline until further notice. At this point I cannot say how the future will look. I'm so sorry you can't reach your sites, but we can't risk this happens again. We need a little time to think things over.

It's okay. You worked very hard! No matter how long it might be, or even it will be offline forever. We all thank you for doing so much! :D (I'm sorry that my English is not sooo good...)

Thank you Lunaluce! :)

Hopefully it won't come to that, but I can't say anything for sure now. I want to be honest with you and not promise something we maybe can't keep. Better you know the situation as it is.

I don't have a site there these days, but best of luck anyway.
Sounds like things have been really tough.

I like that expression! Is it a typical British saying? :down:

Honestly, the registrar's guy was very helpful. It wasn't their fault it happened.
