Such low forum activity!

Post by Daniel »

Hi all,

Does nobody has Daewoo anymore?
Or they are too reliable?

Or maybe other members like me had forgotten the transition to the new server http://www.daewootech.efrainarias.com/forum and received the message "daewootech domain name for sale"?

Maybe a email reminder to members?

Read you soon.

Mine's been saying 404 not found for the last couple of days... I just remembered this server...
I didn't think this was a new one as we've had to go it in the past

Yes you're right. It's not so recent.
So what? Is http://www.daewootech.com dead?

Hi,

I have an issue with the domain name holder, years ago I knew nothing and another person made the registration of the domain. Is a long story.

For now http://daewootechforum.com is the domain name.

Sorry for everthing,

Hi Efrain,

No problem. I was just confused with the banner "domain name for sale" or the like.
http://daewootechforum.com/ is again in my favorites.

Thanks to you.

Personally I think it should be known what is going on.

Efrain did not hold the title for the original domain registration.

Over the years there have been attempts to get the domain name back into the control of Efrain ( or myself ) but the person who has controlled ownership over the years has refused to give it up.

Originally last year he was talking a few thousand, or he threatened to monetize the site via advertisements.

I was very clear with him that he has no right to the forum content, he may have control over the domain name, but he does not own the forum or any of the value in it.

The site was coming up for renewal, now he wants $5000 for the domain name.

In the end, it is likely he will try to suck money out of the original daewootech.com domain name, since many of the search engines will still point to the old domain, which he has made to look similar to this forum.

Sorry I was unable to work anything out with him, he is completely unreasonable.

Thank you for clarifying the situation. I note that it is no more possible now to login or register on the old domain name, that's fine. 8)
The content, however, may still be consulted.

Wow this forum has pretty much ZERO activity since the name change.... I think most people have given up hope since they don't realize what has happened.
