I lost the name after shutting down my forum and then someone did a take over of the URL. I was unable to get it back, but somehow a transfer of the URL was basically stolen from me and I didn't know it.

btw, there has been recent incidents where people from countries are initiating un-authorized take-overs of URLs and nothing can be done. Godaddy at the time told me that when it happened, they couldn't stop it. Within a week I lost it and contacted godaddy since they were still charging me for the domain name. I then called visa and reported that godaddy was illegally charging my credit card. Go daddy contacted me telling me they weren't happy how i Reported to visa and demanded I pay up for lost money.

I basically told godaddy to go to hell since they didn't stop the domain transfer. After that I gave up.

I no longer have those files as when the domain went down, my files were instantly deleted by godaddy.

Godaddy can roll in the grave for all I care. After all that, now they have been backing the SOPA/PIPA act and a lot of people left.

I also was having service outages. On top of that, I have been getting spam from someone registering another URL similar to mine and telling me if I wanted it, I would have to pay (I kid you not) $90,000

Google will not filter the spam no matter how many times I mark it in gmail. I can't keep the emails from people registering the name from coming to me wanting me to bid on it. Frankly, I don't care as I never registered it for a purpose. Too much $$/yr
