As well as god knows how many links being broken.

I think at least tens of thousands :)

I'm afraid it is impossible to put any kind of redirect information on the page which shows up when old address is entered?

"soldatforums,com Estimated Worth $15965.1 USD"

Wow!

Not necessarily. The situation still has yet to work itself out. It's possible this is an easy fix, or that we can buy back the old domain for a relatively cheap price. Even if we can't get soldatforums.com back, Google will re-index us under the new domain in a short time.

If the company holding the domain hostage thinks it is worth anywhere near $15,000, we're never getting it back

Where can we find out how much getting it back will cost?

that site PQ quoted wont work for me. i tried another 'domain value estimater' and that said:
Domain Appraisal for domain name only : USD 110


but also:
Valuation considering traffic: USD 4,600

This is taken from estibot.com.

So whats the plan? Keeping it the way it is, or attempting to buy it back? How much are they asking, and how much did you used to pay?

Indeed. Plus, what about the Soldat Forums advertisement on the nag screen that unregistered Soldat players get?

use opera you can have 9 sites saved on the start screen and you can just click on the one you want, and you can have it like on firefox.

Fixed that one up.

I think the emailing of members will be delayed until we know the other domain is definitely not available.
