What Happened to the Baseball Think Factory site ?

Renner · 11-29-2006, 11:46 AM

I was looking through the Soriano thread to find the link from Mike Donlin about the projections for Soriano and got this ???....

ZIPS projection:

Does anyone know what happened ? (It's a work-friendly site, but it's clearly not correct). Am I missing something ?

wierd..looks like someone forgot to pay their domain registration fees

I was on it less than 10 minutes ago. Strange it is down now.

That URL will be dead for awhile, and will stay down for a very long time, as a domain snatcher scarfed it up. It'll be back under a different domain name, I bet.

I wonder if that violates the anti-cybersquatting laws.

Its against the rules to engage in commerce (.com) at a .org site at least. Someone should e-mail the internet domain gods to complain.

It appears registered to Jim Furtado still.

Someone running a scam, perhaps? Grabbing a domain that was squared away until 2007?

Warning: I've no idea what I'm talking about.

"The site is currently in domain registrar limbo between my current registrar (godaddy.com) and my former registrar (registerfly.com). I've been told an error occurred during the transfer process. As a result, although the site shows current and up-to-date at godaddy.com, somehow the record was/is still controlled by registerfly.com. I've been assured by both registrars that the problem soon will be rectified.

I apologize for the inconvenience.
