Quote (Bradster @ 05 Dec. 2004,11:23)Has anyone heard back from Shane? His web site now points to some generic search engine. Sad to see it gone for good.Didn't he have a couple of other domain names? Something like "Big Red Robot" springs to mind, but nothing I enter works.I hope nothing bad really happened to him... Brad, his old original site you're thinking of was "superbadassrobo.co.uk" - DJDust's site still links into that one so I can be reasonably sure that that's the right address. The record on Nominet, the UK domains registry, for that domain is now blank. As you say Brad, bigdaix is now just a search page and on further investigation it seems the domain has been bought by some Kenyan company and is available to buy. I really wish I'd gone ahead and grabbed it myself when we realised it might have been permanently gone, so that I could have transferred it back over to Shane at some point.However as both you and Crash point out it seems increasingly strange that none of us have heard anything from him. I too have emailed him and had no response - no rejected mail either, but of course that doesn't mean anyone is reading the account.I will dig through my emails and see if I ever had his postal address. What I'm unclear on is whether his domains were actively shut down, which would suggest he opted to shut them down, or whether they just expired because they weren't renewed. The latter is more concerning...
