Website expiring soon

[Gwen]

Hi everyone,

The website and domain name vancouvertransforum.com is expiring at the
end of the month.
Do we want to do anything about that ?

Hi All,

Thanks Gwen for the update in regards to the e-mail.  I am not sure.  We have been receiving alot of trans related updates.  However there has not been alot of discussion in regards to the group as of late.  Even though we have a few loose ends, there has not been any discussion regards to that or if we want to look at having another VTF (at this late date I guessing it would be 2012).

Personally, Unless we are going to use the e-mail for something more ongoing.  I think we need to shut it down.  What does everyone else think?  I think if there is no reply within a week, then we should shut it down within a week.

What would it cost to keep it?

Would it need to be maintained?

[Gwen]

Hi Amber ... about $ 10-15 for the domain renewal and then the cost of
web hosting which could be anywhere from free to $10 per month

The domain name itself could probably be easily obtained again ...
vancouvertransforum is not likely to see a rush of interest :)
The only reason to keep it hosted and up on the web is if we are going
to post things to it ...

I am going to let it lapse on May 27 unless I hear otherwise from
someone.

Thanks Gwen,

i unfortunately feel that we should let the website lapse.  We still have the google e-mail account if there is any resurgence of energy.  Even if there was, it won't be able to do anything for this summer anyway.

 

In Love and Light,

That is a good price for net space. I would like to see it stay.

Plus, I can contribute to the cause.

Would there be a deal if the entire year was purchased at once?

To add my two cents to this: once it's expired, even for a few seconds, it doesn't matter how popular it is or isn't, odds are extremely high the web squatter bots are on it and we've lost it, permanently. I've seen it happen to several websites before this, including one of my own.

Thank you both for sharing.  As I feel much more comfortable with keeping the site.

ok ... i renewed the domain and website for another year .... sorry
there was not time to switch hosting to something cheaper ... next
year i guess ... any donations towards the cost are more than
welcome :)

and of course, now that we have it, I encourage you all to use
it !! ... if you have any content ideas, updates, whatever ... please
post here :)

Gwen,

I can give you some cash for the domain.
