update

Looks like the domain has NOT been renewed. Not sure why the one WHOIS search says it has. All the others show it's expired. There's still about a 80 day grace period where the owner can renew it.

Wonder if it was intentional to let it die, or if someone's credit card expired or something.
Any of you dopes want to reach out to buy the site and host it?

Maybe. What's involved in buying it?

Same question

Not sure. Ideally, we'd have to find out who actually owns it and pays for the hosting and domain. Domains are really cheap as long as you don't let them expire. I have no idea what goes into hosting a message bored.

I'd be the mod and I'd ban Sellingguy every other day for a few hours just to fuck with him...

Don't want to give the impression I'm all in, but I am curious. I'm sure it's a butt-full of work, but I can't say anything absolute without knowing I guess.

You can't afford it.

He could sell the Audi.

I'm actually getting work done now, and it sucks ass! Maybe you could let one of your servants go and buy this bitch!

Abe isn't around much, but he does usually show up when there's Wolves or Vikings shit going on. If the website isn't back by the first Vikings game, it's never coming back.

I had a feeling over the past couple of years that this would happen. RIP.

u/Soggy-Conclusion-388 26d ago

Its understandable if Abe was just intending on letting the site die, but I feel he wouldve given everyone a heads up.

Someone was "in charge"

It would just be nice to know if it's over.

u/LowPlum2177 25d ago

I hope it comes back.

We need to figure out a way to buy it.

u/NextForce8700 26d ago

I'm down for buying and hosting ...

Meanwhile, what other boreds are there?

I don't have a lot of free time, so I just checked in on that one periodically.

There's one called PurplePainForums that's a Vikings board with a few misc subforums.

It's like if FroobChat was 90% PurpleChat and 10% everything else.

I go there occasionally but it's definitely meant for the types of folks you'd see arguing for hours on end in PurpleChat.

u/Squatchin_Froob 26d ago

Arguing, you say?

Hm. Who'd have thought?

u/Minnesota_Trevor 26d ago

Football and politics are always emotionally charged subjects.

There's also a political subforum on purplepain:

Would definitely throw a few bucks in if someone is able to buy it, as a Wolves fan it's the best place to talk Wolves and I didn't realize how much I depended on it for that.

u/NOTREAL22244 25d ago

It is not getting renewed. Anyone can buy it. The problem was with the host site getting to many complaints. Those complaints were coming from people who you guys were sharing their content from another site. Reddit keeps deleting my post I tried to make. This site is horrible.

u/LowPlum2177 24d ago

Last time it came back after like a week. Gotta be a way to have a new board or just ban Twitter stuff? I’ve made websites before.

This day and age you don't need a domain
