TEOTWAWKI ATS Watch Party Thread

Apologies. Someone had to post this and that Herbert is me:

youtu.be...

May 18th is 40 days from the eclipse......

May 23rd is a full moon.


I had a dream. It was some years ago. I was out for a walk at night, in a different area of town. I was looking at the moon, and a large hatch opened like a window. Shining brilliantly was Gods face in that open hatch. He said " the time of the church has come to an end." I immediately woke up. That couldn't take place because I lived and walked elsewhere. That was, until this week. I have moved and live a half block from that spot now. I walked there last night, and Ill be darn, the moon, though not full, was tracking in that very same spot I saw in my dream. I will be going there on the 23rd.

The domain will have a new expiration date the moment the payment is made to the host.

I have two domains that I pay for yearly. When I make the payment the expiration date automatically jumps forward. I never wait till the last week to make the payments, in case something goes wrong.

If ATS were to expire there will be a war amongst companies to buy it first.

There is one company in China that buys domains within 5 seconds of their expiring.. and then sells them to the highest bidder.

Hah I asked Simon before if he still had a copy of that. Sadly he lost all the ATS files ages ago.

Get Ready! 😯

Godaddy forces domains to auction after expiration.

Days after domain expiration What happens and what you can do
+1 day We'll try to auto-renew it, or you can manually renew for the standard renewal price.
+5 days We'll try to auto-renew again - but if that doesn't work, your domain gets parked: your site and email stop working. But you can still manually renew for the standard renewal price.
+12 days We'll try to auto-renew your domain one more time. You can still manually renew for the standard renewal price.
+19 days Domain goes on hold: it's still in your account but inactive. Manually renew with applicable redemption fee.
+26 days Domain goes to auction. You can still manually renew for the standard price plus the applicable redemption fee.
+30 days If no active bids in the auction, the domain stays in your account but now it's expired. You can manually renew for the standard price plus the applicable redemption fee. Once there's a bid, the domain is removed from your account and you can't renew it any more.
+36 days Domain goes to a final closeout auction. Unless there's a pending purchase of the domain, you can still manually renew for the standard price plus the applicable redemption fee. You can't renew the domain if a purchase is pending.
+41 days Final closeout auction ends. You can still manually renew for the standard price plus the applicable redemption fee.
+72 days Domain is removed from your account and you can't renew it any more. You may be able to register the domain after the registry has released it, but GoDaddy can't advise when the registry will release a domain for registration.

I don't know what I'll do without ATS.

You would if you follow the link above the post of yours I just quoted.

See you there.

Personally, I see an eleventh hour event and the wheels don't fall of the wagon, but if they do, you all know where to go now.

That's sad news. So, the purchase option shouldn't work at this point.

a reply to: theshadowknows

I thought as much. It looks like this party will go on for quite some time; 19 to 26 days, at least.

If ATS dies I'll probably move on to Deny Ignorance. The only thing that holds me back is the way they list threads, by the last person to reply instead of the original author or latest thread. I don't think I'd ever get used to that, but who knows?

Maybe I'll just get new glasses and start reading some of the books I've been neglecting.

ATS has been a staple in my life since it's first inception, but I just sat back and read for many years before joining. It was Sled 735's thread 'Has Anyone Had More Than One Type of Paranormal Experience?' that finally got me to join. I still think of and miss her every time I visit ATS.

Good luck to us all going forward!

The only thing that holds me here is the ATS members and support of the other staff who have chosen to stay and moderate things. What holds them and me here is reverence of a place that once was hallowed ground.

Amen.

Loose ends that are always gonna bug me.
Who was Astro?
What was The Green Lady really??

Can't fathom never checking ATS New for what just happened where??!! On a daily.
Cause of everyone the news was from the wildly omg! to no kidding??!! A proper mix
This place has had some of the best avatars on the web.
(sobbing quietly)

With a site like this, has Darko really gone AWOL or just gone dark? Will be an interesting time to see if the credit card still works or this ship has taken it final blow.

Been an amazing journey. Done well to make it this far among all the troubled waters of this world.

Wow, been here since before my twins were born and now they're both off to college.

Time flys!

a reply to: nugget1

There's a drop down at the bottom on the forum display page that will allow you to sort threads however you like.

a reply to: FlyersFan

A bit like life, really.

I consider my time here kind of like college.

You start all green and new with bright ideas and and brilliant people all around you.

You test your ideas, get into some intellectual scraps.

In doing so you learn.

Not only new things and new ideas, but how to communicate more effectively, how to see a person as not just a single facet but as a multifaceted person, how to deal with the death of some of your beliefs.

Being here has made me better on a personal level.

I will miss that part.

I learned how to write well here.

I made some lifelong friends, I made some enemies.

I know that some think of me as a count without the O...

But all in all, it was fun.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Forgive me for asking a possibly dumb question, but how much does it cost to renew the domain?

Also, in your quoted section, who is "you" and "your"...is this a legal entity, or is it anyone? In other words, if someone else wanted to pay the renewal fee, could they do it?

I ask this only because, remember the domain and the backend are two separate things. If the domain stays operational, then unless someone shuts down the backend, the site will still operate (in theory).

Darko has the keys for the admin stuff. Maybe give ghost another call?

a reply to: kwaka

Well, my point was...maybe renewing the domain might serve as a wake up call. That is, if it's not unrealistically expensive.
