What ever happened to Agin's Inn?

The titles says it all; Im just curious. What DID happen? I mean, it's still up.

The original aginsinn.com was lost in August/September 2007. Dewayne Agin had become busy with life and his kids grew out of HeroQuest and into other things. The domain expired and everything on it was temporarily lost. Then the Agin's Inn Resurrection project began back in November 2007 (I think it was...?) and Ye Olde Inn went live in January 2008. Shortly after Dewayne contacted me, gave me his backup to the old Website (now the Archives), much praise and thanks for continuing his previous efforts.

When the domain aginsinn.com expired, a domain squatter purchased it. He is asking $750 US for the domain name. Which is why I opted to go with yeoldeinn.com when I was ready to move the Website to a more permanent domain instead of a just a Sub-domain on my personal Website.

Good job. The squatter can go sit right on top of a pike. Sharp end up.

Cool. I was just wondering if anything like that would happen to yeoldeinn

I'm pretty hardcore into HeroQuest, so I don't foresee myself letting the domain name lapse. The biggest problem would be if my Webhost shuts my account down if the storage used is higher than they would prefer (unlimited storage and bandwidth is a myth!). But the Website would only be down for a short while as I would switch to another host if that ever happened. The Website itself is always backed up locally on ol'compy here. The forum database is backed up regularly, but there's a chance posts between the last backup and the time the account is closed may be lost. Hope that doesn't happen, but since I removed the 300dpi files they haven't complained about the storage usage.

Awesome! I remembered that post, too. You know, I think it's called "We might be in trouble" or something in that nature
