I feel the need to point out that carboniteaddon.com was not handed over to Rythal and as such is not up to date. only curse and WoWI are current

Carboniteaddon.com still expires on the Nov. 30th so in 2 weeks of the time of this posting Rhythal can scoop up this domain or maybe someone else in the community (Hell I will if needed.) can take the site back over.

Just a quick note: an expired domain still has a grace period (called redemption period) in which the owner can renew the domain... in the case of schlund.info (registrar of carboniteaddon.com), such grace period is 30 days (see http://faq.registrar.schlund.info/en...domains/4.html)

So no, carboniteaddon.com cannot be recovered after november the 30th... the date to watch for is december 31, 2012 anyone not celebrating New Year's eve willing to buy the domain?

I'll be around. New Years Eve is armature hour when you live in college town (thus I won't be going out to get in a car wreck with the idiots). I'll see what I can do, and then figure out a way to transfer it to Rythal.

I am not sure how all this works but wouldn't the website and its contents still be considered the property of the people who made it? Therefore, any content (including the tutorials and information on the website which is contained under the Carboniteaddon name might still be unaccessable to a new domain holder?)

I am not sure what happens once the option to resecure the domain name expires. But, I think a domain name is just that... you are buying the rights to use that web address online... it has nothing to do with what the original website contents are at all... Maybe all the tutorials and information needs to be safeguarded in case it goes poof.

Lets be honest, once the domain is gone, so might the website be gone. It could just disappear... whoever is hostinf that info could simply shut it down and all the info could simply be deleted and lost forever... The fact that Rythal enquired about the website and domain name and received no response back, speaks louder than words )IMHO) If the original developers cared enough - they would have had a dialogue with Rythal about transfering everything regarding carbonite over to Rythal in the first place.

Even if you can not legally *copy and paste* Surely starting with the basics of the info contanied in how the program works can be rewritten and a totally new domain name be chosen. That way, Rythal would have full control over the *new website and could begin the rebuilding proceess.

I mean: if you can have a celebrity use *formerly known as Prince* as part of their name.... Consider doing the same with the *new carbonite^. <New name> - formerly known as Carboniteaddon and give the past developers acknowledgement in the credits...

You are correct. The domain in just that, a name space out on the web. It does not entitle anyone to the contents of the web pages once displayed by said name.

As such, Rythal would have to either start over with his own tutorials on a new website, or get permission and access to transfer the original content to his own hosting solution.

I merely offered to help secure the domain name, as I won't be doing much that night.

If Rythal does get permission and access to the contents of the website, I would be more than happy to help get the entire site transferred to a new host.

tbh i think all the tutorials, videos etc should be updated once Rythal is finished with the modularisation of Carbonite.
