Some of the players in the main Game Thread are having problems with idlemafia.com - so I'd like to know a bit more about it (and try to work out if something is wrong): - what happens when you write: www.idlemafia.com?- does the same thing happen if you skip the www and simply write idlemafia.com? Thanks - I'll try and fix this as soon as possible! - TL

It seems to be working again as usual, but yesterday trying to navigate to idlemafia.com prompted an error message directing you to use psycopathgame.proboards.comI didn't get a chance to try adding www before it started working for me again. I'm not filtered and can reach either one, but I know there are people who are filtered.

Me too.
Don't know when it happened, but the bookmarks I had to the site switched places somehow, so the working one wa on top. Consequently I've never noticed a problem.

Yeah the problem appears to be back, and the error is also generated when using www.idlemafia.com ETA: I am able to ping both, however, and the domain shows no sign of being inactive or suspended via whois and dig.

I forgot to re-new the domain in time. It should be fixed - but might take a day or two to work out because I'm using a Danish Bank. I'm so, so sorry!!!! Also: I was out of Town for a couple of days. That's why I've replied this late in here. Once more. Really sorry.

I'm starting to think it's not anything to do with the bank and rather it just being broken. Because five days later and it's still not working* *which is okay by me, don't get me wrong. I don't care if the site has a domain name..although I appreciated it. Maybe you should--if you still want to put a domain name on this site--try another? Start from scratch? Only if you want.

I think it's time to get FCoD to take a look at the problem. The domain is mine and it seems that the payment did go through. But I don't have admin rights to your board and so I can't see where the problem is. I'll go poke him of FB and see if he can figure it out. It would be a shame to miss out on the name because we have all worked hard on promoting it on other boards.

Hey, sorry everyone, I've been totally swamped at work for like, forever.
Anyway, the domain name is a paid feature of Proboards. Idle, I think you might be the only one with access to it in the Admin panel since it's not showing for me. Look under the "Paid Features" category. Last year I was able to apply some of the Ad-Free credits I purchased to pay for the domain name, but I don't know if that is still an option. If you don't see anything in the Admin panel, I'll contact Proboards support. We still have 28 Ad-Free credits so I think that's enough for another year.

Apparently only my account can see it. Here's what I see when I click on Domain Names: "idlemafia.com EXPIRED Oct 18, 2010, 4:23pm" Then there's a "Renew for one year?" and "Continue" button after the date and time. Clicking on continue, however, brings up this message: "In order to continue, please remove the following nameserver(s) from your domain: ns4.proboards.comIf you need help with this please visit our Support Forum." No idea where one goes to remove that nameserver (it doesn't appear to be hosted on this site). I'm going to let FCoD take a look (under my account) and if he can't figure it out either, then I'll visit the support forum.

Well, I can now click on "Extend"...but doing that redirects me to Paypal and is asking for 14 dollars for 1 year's worth.
*shrugs*

What good would that do? You'd still have to pay...so unless you have a Paypal address to pay 14 dollars with, it won't do anything. I'll have FCoD look at it again.

Wow, you all rock...although before I accept anyone's very kind offer of 14 dollars.. 1. Let me have FCoD take a look at it and see if there's any way it can be bypassed or if there's something I'm missing. 2. Let me think about it.. I might shell it out myself if I have it. My problem is, I don't usually have it after all the other frivolous things I spend my money on. But I'd feel really bad for accepting money from anyone so I might be able to do it.

Why would you feel bad? We all raid the fridge and sleep on the couch and use the last of the toilet paper on a regular basis.

Okay, well, FCoD took a look and apparently they changed the way things work. Before, I guess, one could buy a domain name with credits (which we have)..but now one needs to pay 14 bucks to attribute a domain name to these boards...that's on top of Ulla already paying for the domain name. So....allow me to start out by saying: I'm FINE with not having a domain name. I lived with psychopathgame.proboards.com for almost two years. I have no problem with it. So while I appreciate the offer of having one and people buying one, it's not needed. That being said, if ya'll still want to buy one anyway, feel free. Just as long as you know I would be fine without one. If Ulla or/and others still want one, then I have no problem giving someone on here my pass so that they can log in and use their own PayPal address to pay for it. I'll wait to see what Ulla says since it's her original idea. Maybe she will want to pay for this too...but if not, I'll let anyone who wishes to, do it. And lastly, even though I've said I don't really mind if we have a name or not, I AM still grateful at many offering to pay for it. Thank you, everyone. I leave it and the decision in your hands.

I like us having a name - and I think we should keep the name going. I don't mind paying for the domain - and if others are fine with paying for it to work. I think that's great I have this site for "free" and spend so much time here having loads of fun and I hope us having a name makes it more easy for others to find us and join in the fun

As a work-around for the regular players who have to deal with filters, I think it is handy. I haven't used my paypal account in forever, but I'll dust it off. Just tell me where to send the electrons with little $'s engraved on them.

well i certainly don't have a problem sending ulla some moolah. i was kind of hoping that it would lead to something more erotic than a domain name, however.

did someone pay already? it's working today. Yeah, I kind of wanted it to happen - so Idle was kind enough to lend me his account. I so badly wanted to give everyone good karma while being an admin... but I didn't dare Why are you not Special anymore? Is it because we all know you are, and so you don't need to say it in your name?
