Welcome back. Here's the scoop on what happened: http://subaruforester.org/viewtopic.php?t=187

Hmm. This comment made me think of something -- something that you computer types probably already thought of; but, just in case, here goes.

I have a couple of web sites hosted by my ISP. I registered the domain names with Register.com (or someone like that), and then I did some monkey work on the Register site to give control of those names to my ISP.

It seems like you folks could go to wherever SF.com was registered and change the control of that domain name to your new computer site (or ISP or whatever), and then alias SF.com to SF.org. Then people who come looking for the old name will find the new name. (Of course, they'll still need an expanation of where the knowledge base went.)

Like I said, you probably thought of this already, but just in case...

That would be a novel idea, but unfortunately we never owned sf.com, so we have no control over the site. If we could buy out the old domain name, we would simply point it to the new site, but the current owner evidently does not want to part with it.

Oh. Right.

That owner Roo discussed is the one who has control of the control. He could do the aliasing, of course (and I guess you'd think he'd want to). Sorry. HPH

It seems that subaruforester.com now resolves to subaruforester.org. Did Roo get the .com domain? Should we expect to see the old site back sometime soon?

Not to put pressure on our operatives, but the fate of our database depends on how successful the operative is in achieving the directives.
