Ninth Fleet Headquarters, Deep Space 9

A fair amount of veterans and guests here are from BC, so we have BCC accounts. Since the domain has been down we've been using all the other forums to try to transmit infomation.

News on BCC:

the future of BCC is currently uncertain according to Jimmy, but we're already in the process of planning a setup for a new host, grab the domain asap and restore from backups.

One of the community could probably buy the domain and transfer it over to them when they've got a host set up... if they want to make sure that the domain is theirs...

Hell, I could do it, I get discounts through Gandi on domains (send me the domain if they want that option done... unless someone grabs the domain now)

We're stuck in a holding period before we can buy the domain again, I think Jimmy is going to sort it out, but I'll keep you updated, and if need be we can sort something out through Ninth Fleet members ^^

Well, it's $10 with tax per year through gandi.net for a .com, with the E rates (non-profit rates, because Ubuntu Member status with the Ubuntu project) I get with them, so if someone DOES need to grab the domain, I/m sure we can set up something, either with me buying it, or with me buying it and transferring it (this is probably cheaper than other domain purchasing, maybe). I don't mind doing a multi-year purchase, if that's what is needed. Transfer is gonna depend on where they want the domain registrar to be (because of costs), but I don't mind helping out if they want. I can spare $30 and change for right now, so if in the next several days the thing needs purchased, and nobody minds, I can grab the domain for three years for $30.

Just lemme know what all's needed here, Intercity. If they resolve it themselves, fine, if not, fine. I am more than willing to help

Looks like Viper is on. He says he won't let the site die. If you have web development experience, it may come in handy, since we may do some recoding of the site. (May try to revive it as BCU)

Yeah, my dev skills are kinda crappy... I haven't had much web devel experience... more IT Security than anything...

Alright, no worries! I can try to handle it. My only constraint is time!

I'll post instructions on how to access the forums in their current state later on!

I realize this is forum necromancy here, but for those interested, BCC has been up at a new location for a while (since I didn't see a link here): http://robbieshobbiesnet.ipage.com/BCC- ... /index.php

That's actually the original location of the site but it looks like for now we can use it. A month ago it wouldn't work... nice find!
