With my situation, my REAL business (non-blog) URL and domain expired on the 15th of January 2006. I didn't know until a client phoned me early February asking me if I got his fax (I have a toll-free fax line routed to an email on this domain). All my domains renew in the summer, except for this one. I was huffing and puffing to my service provider for taking down my site and blocking my email .. who the heck do they think they were? Geeeesh.. I was blue in the face shouting at them .. until I found out it was my fault for not renewing sooner .. then I was red in the face. I'm glad nobody thought to scoop it out of my hands for themselves. I'd have to change all my letterhead and invoices.

I laughed that something so simple could happen to even the big guys - forgetting to re-register a domain - shit, that's something like a schmuck like I would do. :-) Don't you guys use Outlook's task feature. I do and it has saved me many times over. How's about buying the domain for 10 years? At least we know you're human. Should have a laugh over it. <b>Jamsi</b> - loads fine for me know - it didn't 15 minutes ago - check the screenshot. <b>Leroy</b> - ouch, but not really in a big way. Just shows they're human and it got a bit of a laugh. Anyhow, GoDaddy is a quick service, so once they figured their faux pau a quick $9 payment got them up and running again ;-) Scrivs – it was a light-hearted moment in an otherwise rough week.

All is fixed now. 9rules ain't going anywhere and if it was it sure as hell wouldn't go out with a fucking domain expiration.
