I Was All Happy For Devi
I spent a long time one night this week helping here get her site up again after her domain got away from her.
She had forgotten to update her contact info for it since she had moved away from AOL as her main ISP. Or anyway for her main email. Subesquently, when email was sent to remind her of the domain registration expiring... she didn't get it.
After enough time had passed, the domains were released into the wild and were snapped up by a company who would love to resell them.
Devi, not to be outdone, promptly registered the .org version of her domain. I mean, the .com version was taken so why not get the .org version—right?
So the domain became active and she worked with her ISP to get everything fixed. And I helped where I could.
And for one brief, shining evening Flipside was reborn.
The next day... she was accused of fraud. She doesn't understand why, but that's what they said to her. They wanted to see a copy of her driver license. She didn't think she needed to prove anything so she said "Fuck you very much." Or something. She did get her money back.
So... Flipside is down.
And that's everything I know. Needless to say, the poor girl is pretty damned upset about the whole thing. Who could blame her?

Sorry to waste your time like that, Soulless. Thank you SO much for the help you gave me, though. I really do appreciate it. *licks*
fraud?? Goodamn! That's bad. Where's the fraud? Registering the domain or the hosting bit?
It was with the registry ... and I still have very little idea as to why they called it fraud.
At any rate, with the help of Soulless and T, Flipside is back up and running again.
I hope I never have to go through that again, though.
