Yearly Down Time
« on: April 23, 2008, 07:18:44 AM »
I don't think I have ever gone more than a year without Gotthegeek.com expiring on me since I forget to mark my calendar as to when it's going to expire. I doesn't help that my administrative contact is my old @hackernetwork.com email address, either. :roll:

I just discovered that myself a few days ago.  It still works perfectly, as long as you have the HN email login page bookmarked.

It seems as though I have forgotten both my password, and my password hint. Looks like I am shit out of luck.

The interface has certainly changed.

I was able to log in but it was completely empty and I know I had some emails on there.  Nothing important however.

If you had clicked on the skip button it would have reverted back to the old interface.

Yep.  I'm going to start using mine again too.

I see no interface change.   :?

I too have lost all my emales in that account, but my address book is still intact, which is a plus.

I don't care about the empty inbox.  Back when I used to check it, it was 98% spam anyway.

If CG ever sells the domain hackernetwork.com, all hope is lost. More than likely the MX record will be changed once the new owner takes over.

Yep.  The only reason this still works at all is because he hasn't yet.

I offered to buy the domain name from him at one point... He wanted $5,000 for it. I told him I'd give him like $500 max.

The domain has lost its value at this point. I wouldn't pay more than $50 for it.

Exactly my thoughts. There is no traffic going to the site, nor am I buying content that was on it.
