The host ISP has changed its configuration, and conseqently we can't
resubscribe for the domain name because the contact email was under that
domain. We are looking into a new domain name and host. I'll keep you
all advised as Wesley sends me information.

Ow.
Seems to me there's an issue with that domain rego people if they
don't have alternate methods of changing things. That said, been
there before, domain rego "authorities" do tend to be incredibly
annoying and convoluted.

Yes, we've had trouble with them before, but Wesley has always been able
to sort it out. The problem is we can't access them by anything other
than email, as they have not responded to telephone calls, and we don't
have an independent email address registered. So it's partly our
mistake.

Yes, but, considering they publish a phone number... As a customer
you shouldn't have to cover every eventuality when they clearly have
alternate contact methods. So many of the domain registrars are
really dodgy little outfits. grumble...
Alternate access for desperate peoples: Is there an IP? Or is it a
multi-domain based publishing over fewer IPs?
I'm askin for www.richarddawkins.net/forum, where, unsurprisingly,
it's used as reference material for the creationist debunking, as it
is where-ever creationist debunking goes on. :-)
There's a domain registrar in the building here, but I don't think
talk.origins.qld.gov.au has the same feel as a dot org.

Can't you simply write on the appropriate letterhead to the registrar? When
I was working for an ISP we used to have to do that on the odd occasion,
because an ISP went broke or was being rather nasty. The owner of the
domain is still the owner of the domain, regardless of hosting company.

As I said earlier, there are mechanisms in place to move registration, even
if your registrar has become non-responsive. The rules were (at least a
couple of years ago) a letter written on some sort of official letterhead.
If you talk to another registrar they will probably have the procedure for
you. The owner of the domain is still the owner of the domain, not the
registrar or the hosting company.

We are temporarily at
until the talkorigins.org domain is sorted out. Lunarpages are being
unresponsive.

It's our registrar, joker.com, that is unresponsive. Lunarpages has been
fine this time around, and got the primary domain switched over during a
twenty-minute phone conversation with tech support.

Yes, thanks. Correspondence, though, takes a while. The domain name switch
let us serve pages again on a shorter schedule. That should help while the
correspondence happens.
