ffamasters.com domain and you!
« on: August 20, 2012, 08:56:40 am »
So here is the poop:

A month ago I went and thought I renewed the FFAMasters.com domain name and thought everything was all well and good. I never received an email saying otherwise and so we carried on with life. That is, until yesterday when the site went down.

I contacted support and apparently I never renewed the domain, I only bought "credit" to renew the domain. I've never heard of that dumb shit before, I just clicked on "renew" under the domain name and went through the steps. I complained and argued until I was blue in the face, but in the end, its my fault for not double checking that it all went through properly. At the moment, our domain is apparently in a "redemption" phase.

So, I have two options. I can pay $160 to get domain out of redemption or wait for 30-45 days until the domain expires and then buy it back with the credit I have. The hell if i'm giving these assholes more money than I have to and I wont use the prize pool to fix my mistake either. The only issue with waiting until it expires is that someone could potentially steal it... I think i'll take that chance though.

Until the domain is purchasable again, we'll be using WorpeX.net (Only because I happened to have this domain already, didn't have to buy anything). I think the vast majority of the site has already got the memo, but since slacks is down, the only way for people to find out is word of mouth or seeing one of the announcements on b.net/garena. Please make sure that all your friends know so that we can keep the league rolling in the meantime.

Thanks and I apologize for the inconvenience!

meh, if someone wants to waste $15, they can feel free. If it gets taken, ill buy ffa-masters.com or something equally good. If all else fails, ill buy practicemage.com. It's not a huge issue, imo.

Worp, pretty sure most of us have spam filters on anything that contains the word Worpex in it.  Sorry buddy
