To this point the registrar is not being particularly helpful. The domain was grabbed by someone who has many thousands of domains registered through this company - and I�m sure that is playing some role in the current problem.
I've send the former domain owner to ICANN to try to get some relief. I just wish there were some way to also show that the domain was improperly dropped - or at least that it was originally supposed to drop in 2003 and somehow dropped a year early. I'm also simply taking the word of the old domain owner at this time. He swears that the domain had another year, that his admin contact information was accurate, and that he never heard anything from the registrar at all - and only noticed the problem with his very high traffic forum domain started to point to another website. I have no way to prove any of this - so an historical whois record would be very interesting. -t > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Loren Stocker > Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 2:06 AM > To: Marc Schneiders; Loren Stocker > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Re: [Re: [Historical whois]]] > > > Good point, > > I'll bet you can track a domain back via the database > listings from each Registrar -- like a chain. > > Best, Loren > > > Marc Schneiders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don't the registrars have to keept these data somewhere?
