Hi everyone,
As I'm sure you're all aware by now, the domain name for RPGFO has expired thanks to the inaction of our ever helpful admins.
Gideon is doing what she can to try and recover our data.
In the meantime, can everyone please try to reach out to any friends/members of RPGFO, inform them of what's going on and direct them here for the time being.
We hope that the new site will be up within the next 48 hours.
Many thanks!

Does this mean we can keep the RPGFO name by buying it out from under the current admins? Expired domain names tend to be up for grabs by the first comer, from what I've experienced.

Sadly, I think the admins had already auctioned the site, and it had been sold. I saw a website of someone selling the site not that long ago, and he had screenshots of Rpgforums...
So, it's probably now under control by some guy who bought the site for like, $3500...

Meh, they can have the name, with only spambots and confused people coming around and no staff to help manage the site it will go belly up fairly easily.....now if only we knew the new owner's name we could tell him all of this and get the name back....

To the best of my understanding the current admins are still in charge. They haven't been able to sell the site.

I think I'll ask where everyone can see it:
Will there be an announcement when the new site is live?

Once the site is ready, the mods will be the first to get in, have a look around and get settled. Once we've had a chance to do that then we will open it to the rest of the members.
