Good news everyone! Let me give a line by line account of what has happened: - Following the death of my aunt, Nancy, my dad went through and accidentally cancelled the hosting and domain through GoDaddy. - My attempts to get the account set back up were delayed, because someone immediately registered www.chicksrockchicksrule.com. - GoDaddy says that whomever registered it, cancelled their account, so the domain will become available in a matter of days - I have placed a bit to be "first in line" for the domain as soon as it becomes available - I have recovered ALL of her site data on a removable hard drive So it's only a matter of time now before the site is back up! Moving forward past that point, I am looking to move the site onto a CMS such as WordPress, that will allow the fan community (you) to contribute to the site. More on that in the future!

Thanks so much for sticking with it! It would've been a shame to lose all of her hard work.
Does that mean you're forgoing the ProBoards site and moving it solely to WordPress, or just moving all of her video/audio/archives to WordPress?

I'm not a huge fan of ProBoards, this service seems a bit antiquated compared to other offerings. Ideally, I'd like to have WordPress and then phpBB running on the same domain (phpBB being the replacement for ProBoards). Maybe I should put that to a vote?

Alright now I am pissed. Godaddy was not able to secure the domain, as whomever purchased it before, finally chose to do "something" with it. It doesn't go to any site, but it is registered by someone. At this point, I will likely register www.chicksrockchicksrule.net and have the site up on that. Then, at some point in the future, hopefully I can win back the .com domain name via a domain auction. Lame, but at least the site can be back online again!

Thanks for all your work, Tony. Glad to see something could be sorted out!
That's strange someone would just have the domain. Why pay for it if you're not even going to put up a site?

Some guy in Hong Kong named Isaac Goldstein has the domain. Register the domain on December 9th.
Maybe we should all email him and ask what the hell he's doing?

I feel for ya ... this happened to me with dixiechicksfans.com back in the day. I had to go with .net in the end .. whatever you do, the fans will continue to come! keep up the good work
