Is anyone looking after www.ozdebate.com now??

If not I still have gigabytes of space on my reseller account and
would be happy enough to host it again?

I'd need the files... and obviously to transfer the registration to my
name... but I'd hate to see it die off with Ray.

Someone let me know please?

We'd need Barbra to act as 'go between' with Dyna's family but I'm
sure it could be sorted quickly enough.

Am I ok in assuming that nobody wants to keep the site alive?? :)

It would be nice to keep, but then again it has served its purpose.

How about making a zip of the website available for the sleazy weasels?

I did mean to answer you query, but work got in the way.

Shortly after Ray died, Colleen moved in with her elderly mother and I don't
have an address or ph. no., so no way of contacting her.
So I guess the site died with Ray, Craig was hosting the site if that's any
help.
Any way I doubt anyone is interested in keeping the site alive.

Perhaps a final roll call is in order?

Has anyone noticed how Sylvia is a lot like a certain ozdebater?

ISTR Ray asked this a few years ago, and there was little support for
actively keeping the site going. Later he said he would not update the site,
and just leave it as is until the registration and/or hosting expired. There
were no objections. Move forward to 2011, and I would hazard a guess that
it's only of archival interest (if that.)

Ozdebate.com is registered to Ray, and expires in December. I imagine it
could be then obtained on the open market without reference to Colleen
(which would be difficult anyway, as Barbara has said.) Alternatively,
ozdebate.net and ozdebate.org are both available now. Frankly, it's probably
not worth it.

It would've been arrogant to expect thunderous applause, and arrogance is
one of the worst sins, but you couldn't help being disappointed at the
response. Barely a murmur! As per normal!!!

If you backup the files I'll try to catch it when it expires and we
can keep it going?

Not many people would be interested it's true but... we;; it's part of
the group history (such as it is) ?? :D

Not heard from Vicki in years. At one time we mailed each other a lot!
