Unable to find the RWA web page.

What happened. Could not find the RWA web page for the last few days. Did you need to renew the domain name, or was I the only one?

Yes, there was a mix-up with the renewal.

I am glad all is well again with the website. I too was a bit nervous.

It's kind of a long sad story. Bob kept saying he was going to hand the domain off however he never did it. No one knew but he passed away last fall. He was a good guy. May he rest in peace.
In any event the notice that the annual fee was due went to him and it just didn't occur to me that the transfer had never been completed. I guess I should have had it on my calendar as a reminder. The money was there in my account but since the domain was still in Bob's name they just let it expire. Hopefully when we get this all sorted out we will make sure more than one of us has access to the domain account.

So sad to hear about Bob and thanks Buzz for sorting the domain out. Good community and a long term survivor from just about the first days of the sim.

It is a shock about Bob. He was Great Guy. He worked awfully hard though, any work with rock, marble and cement, is hard on the body. It so sad that he did not get more time to enjoy his retirement, he was looking forward to it. *!sad!*
Buzz & Chacal - Thanks again for all You guys do... *!!thnx!!* !*cheers*! Take Care Stefan !*salute*!

Thanks to Buzz for sorting the domain out and restoring the site to the ether.
