I recall some discussion about domain renewal, hijacking etc. I have
found http://www.montagar.com/hobbyist/register_license.html which looks
OK but the "register licenses" button after clicking OK to the agreement
redirects to a site which can't be found.

Does anyone have a WORKING link where hobbyist licenses can be
registered?

I believe if you go to www.vmshobbyist.org the links will work
properly.

Best of luck,

Bill.

Yes, that was it, thanks.

Do the domain hijackers really think that even a single person going to
the old domain is interested in giving them money for bingo?

The URL http://www.vmshobbyist.org/licenses.php worked for me. Forgot
the license had expired until I noticed my nightly defragmentation
jobs had stopped happening because the DFG license had run out.
The .org version of the vmshobbyist domain seems to have been hijacked
by someone running a Bingo site, of all things.

Does anyone know whom to contact within montagar.com to get the link
fixed to point to the correct site?

Where do you want them fixed?

If you go to www.vmshobbyist.org the links will work properly.

This is the "new" address for the site. Phillip has already confirmed
their operation.
