Scuba Forum / General / November 2003rec-scuba.com going up for grabs. COME AND GET IT.
Well it's been an interesting 2 yrs. I registered the site two yrs ago as mostly an experiment as well as a way to make up for being such an a.s in here at the time. The experiment was to see IF I could get the group rec.scuba involved for any length of time in a project somewhat more creative that flame wars and political/gun/dive etc. chatter. A few such as Kimber, Mickey, JF Popeye and even Salty stepped up to the plate to take a crack at it. Nessie and others tried to help with design pic's etc. For a while it looked like the experiment was going to be a success the chat room took off thanks to kimber and Micky's on line daily romance. More and more were getting involved in the on-line free for all that WAS the room. some liked it others hated it BUT were involved. The web site never really went very active. Over MUCH complaint from time to time I REFUSED to control the room OR the chatter I left it to the operators to run it as THEY chose to agree upon sat back and read the logs and watched the fun. After a while tempers started flaring up more and more from time to time some times deserved sometimes not. IMHO To make a log story short the chat room split those who wanted it calm and polite left and started their own. The rest stayed and complained some played it both ways and sat on the fence in BOTH rooms. for a while the other room grew in popularity and the original shrank to non use. so be it. I took it down mostly to prevent further hard feelings. The 2 yrs are UP the experiment from MY viewpoint is a failure as of mid november this mo this year the domain rec-scuba.com will be up for grabs I'm NOT re-newing it. Anyone wanting to register it feel free I'm NOT selling it it won't be mine as of mid nov. I've made a few friends in here some as a result of the project others in spite of it. ALL are valued.

It was a failure in everyone's view, farmer. You were just the last one to catch on. Again. So, will you be shutting the f.ck up about it now?

"Even Salty" was there from the beginning, Jack. So was Bullshark. We won't bother to go into the history... though we still have logs. :) It was lots of fun at one time. Good luck with future ventures. > <snip> > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > "Even Salty" was there from the beginning, Jack. So was Bullshark.

I've NOT forgotten, just wish it had worked out differently.) Sorry it's been a while. As to the history it's JUST that history. I dumped it with the log's when I turned off the chat room. > It was lots of fun at one time. Good luck with future ventures. Yep for a LONG while it was fun. It stopped being fun for ME when it became too much like the newsgroup. One reason I'm not here much anymore. Thanks for the wishes we are currently setting up for a new project and getting the servers ready for such. It will be interesting. I'll most likely have another chat set up. Mostly for old BBS times sake and for the customers in the project sort of as a live help desk kinda thing. Safe Diving. L8R As of THIS Date the domain rec-sciuba.com is OFF thge market. I was cointacted by e-mail by Kimber and have decieded to sign it over to HER as the new owner. It is NO Longer mine and I'll NOT be hosting it etc. Have fun all. Lot's of luck Kimber with your new domain. Safe Diving. L8R > It is NO Longer mine and I'll NOT be hosting it etc. Now, if you'll just shut the f.ck up about it, and then stay away from Kimber's forum, maybe it'll go someplace this time. Oh, go ahead. You know you have more sniveling to do.

Since it's the boks, I suspect there will be two yellow cards and 4 switched off for injuries over the course of the game. With the scots, aussie will likely win, But I don't think they're that likely to make their bonus point. The Scots are pretty tough at the moment, more so than the wallys, but the wallys are still souther hemisphere players who have had the tri series and super 12 to toughen them up. rhys > I've got enough beer, WAIKATO beer, named for the region, for 80 minutes of > hardcore rugby.

Depending on the registry, domain name registrations can be for one year, two years, three years, five years or ten years. It appears that rec-scuba.com was registered for a total of two years, and the registration was getting ready to expire. Jack didn't want to pay to maintain the registration, so he offered it up to the group. Registration is typically $35/yr, so it appears that Kimber decided she'd like to take over ownership for this amount. Jack has apparently agreed, and transfered ownership of the domain name to Kimber. I don't see anything strange or unusual about this transaction at all.

Two years starting in March 2002 ends in March 2004. The part I don't understand is why Jack said it was going to expire in November. Giving it to Kimber is neither here nor there.

Jack, reel in yer chain. The boys are tugging on it. Alan got it right. The date doesn't matter. What you do with the domain doesn't matter. Some of us appreciate what you tried to do with the chatroom. That it didn't pan out is no reflection on your efforts, more on the independent attitude of the group in general. Trying to organize rec.scubans is like herding cats. It was a nice gesture to offer the domain to Kimber. Hopefully she has a little fun with it. I doubt there is anyone here so flinty of heart that they'd begrudge her that bit of diversion. To put it mildly. she's had enough unhappy stuff in her life lately.

Careful there, Alan. Assuming what ppl pay for things can get you into trouble here. Maybe Jack donated it to her. "Salty" <babette7401@hotmail.com> wrote in message > Careful there, Alan.

What you have emailed and posted has been uncaring and out of line. I no longer wish to lower myself to your standards and associate with such. Flame all you want -- fuss all you care to -- as far as I am concerned you no longer exsist in my world. I have far too much to deal with now to be associating with anybody who does not choose to be a friend and/or compassionate. You have proven yourself to be neither.
