Probably right. The page in question, however, is the International Skeptics page, run by icerat.


Sure. Did you notice he responded to the comment?




(I'm not saying the message on the Facebook page was responsible for the renewal, it may well have already been in hand. just pointing out that it did happen, and icerat saw it.)

All 100% irrelevant. This is probably triggered the renewal:

I have a yearly reminder set up for the 14th, when I saw your thread I sent an "early" email to icerat. Don't know if that was what triggered the renewal, icerat or one of his employees could also have a yearly reminder set up.

Remember all of the other systems that exist did not work in previous years and there is nothing to suggest they would have worked this year. Even the post in Facebook was probably triggered by this thread as it was created just after this thread.
 
So how come no one has mentioned the forum was down this morning?

I had with drawl symptoms.
 
This time of year seems to be notorious for interrupted service, no doubt. Coincidentally, another event has just passed.
 
Yeah, FB page said bill was paid. Probably just a coincidence this occurs generally at the same time every year.

What is that warm yellow fluid on my back? Oh, it must be raining again. :D
 
I checked the Whois information during the outage, and it indicated the domain was renewed last month and was good until 2023.

This was something else, I assume just what Icerat reported.

I'm also not able to access this site with https, and haven't since I started lurking again for the last week or so. I have to use http.

ETA: Although, the browser bookmark I saved is also http, and that is probably at least a few weeks old. I don't remember when I saved it, but I had to reinstall my operating system a few months ago and started with a fresh set of bookmarks.

I never said what would happen if you waited a few more days. In fact, certain people took note of what I said; got very embarrassed; and then did something about it. They then denied my prediction had anything to do with their actions.
 
According to WHOIS, the domain was renewed again a couple of weeks ago and we're good on that front for another year.
 
It wasn't a problem of letting the domain registration expire, which is the main problem discussed in this thread. As noted a few posts above the domain registration was renewed for another year about a month ago
