Good idea, Dan, I'm already there, and it would be a good emergency way to communicate about this problem and the ultimate resolution.

I suggest that everyone on Facebook join the BtB FB group. I didn't know it existed?

Current mod over there is a real a--hole, but most guys should do OK.

I don't have a Facebook and don't want one. Some of you have my phone #. Give me a call. LOL.
Like Bill Belichick says, "I don't do Snapface or Instachat so I don't get those."

We need a go-to place, just in case, like a fire drill ... everybody meet by the big oak tree. Old-timers might recall that this happened once before, though long ago. If this place ever goes dark, seek out BTB on Facebook? The classic story from 1997 - we met on the Seattle Mariners message board. Someone sent me an e-mail telling me to look there. From there, with a thread started by Phil Speranza that read "Yankee Refugees Read Here," we were directed to a new site Phil started called behindthebombers.com We've been here for 21 years now. Might have been me Lefteroo. It was after Yankees.com $hit all over us and made us refugees. I think Seattle Mike was a Yankees poster at that time and directed us there for a short period until Phil saved the day. I was on AOL at the time but couldn't get or receive information very quickly due to modem dial-up difficulties.

We could lose our site today. Someone else has bid for the domain. I don’t know why someone wants our domain name. Currently I’m the highest bidder but don’t know if someone is going to place a higher bid at the last second. If someone else takes possession of the domain Behind the Bombers.com we will no longer be able to access the site and will need to acquire a new domain.
Will know around 2pm today.

John, go as high as you need to. We'll pass the hat. Thanks but multiple bidders for the name. I’m afraid they know what they are doing and will submit a winning bid at the last second. Maybe they want the name so they can sell it back to us at a premium?

F them. Probably see a site with lots of traffic and figure they can capitalize. Or a disgruntled ex-poster. See Dave, shouldn’t have messed with POTY!
Let’s start brainstorming new site names in case the unthinkable happens. My suggestion is NYY23isgod.com

Define “lots”.

Can’t we just keep the website and rename it? Something like Beehind The Bombers? Or Chez Jimbue?

Lots: So many that if one person left we'd never notice.

We lost the site. Not sure what’s next. I assume it will go away shortly.
