hahaha any of you seen orangegoldandgreen.com? we lost the domain in a fight with dot5 hosting and have since moved the REAL site to orangegoldandgreen.org. Now i guess dot5 realized the traffic the old .com site generated and put up their own orangegoldandgreen.com eisley'ish site to get some ad revenue. here's their little blurb "orangegoldandgreen.com is the hottest entertainment resource on the Web! Whether you're looking for the latest mp3s and ringtones, celebrity news, tickets to the hottest shows, or exciting new games, we've got it!" heh soooo deliciously evil, on one hand I admire their nerve on the other I really want to bring the pain. lollerskates. queue the rage from saellys in 5-4-3-2-... _________________ "Religions have started on lesser revelations" - investor on MarketWatch.com |

Chad, have you seen this on Lycos? It takes you back to their site but there is a quote from you saying it will take you to OGG, but it is the dot com version: Orange Gold and Green: http://search.lycos.com/index.php?src=gc&query=eisley An Eisley Fansite FastForward ยป ...and Green, a fansite dedicated to the unique and talented band Eisley. OGG's mission is to be the most comprehensive Eisley fansite on the... www.straylight6.org |

Thanks for noticing that Kim, I forgot the straylight6 redirect still pointed to the old address. It's fixed now, it redirects to ogg.org _________________ "Religions have started on lesser revelations" - investor on MarketWatch.com |

If Eisley fans avoid the .com one I think it will only get a few stray hits here and there and will be entirely unprofitable to this new rip off site. If you have OGG linked in anyway, make sure it is the .org one. |

you know whats crazy? it just changed, now the .com is a pretty generic portal site. when i first made this thread it had graphics and categories and was like a full fledged fan site but linked with all kinds of misc. stuff to buy. I went back to check to see if they used any of Boyd's or the band's graphics and noticed the changes. what's even stranger is the Popular Links bar on the left hand side lists a link called "Old Ladies" between "Music Download" and "Mp3 Player" which then links to some porn sites. I'm not exactly following whatever logic is in that portal site. _________________ "Religions have started on lesser revelations" - investor on MarketWatch.com |

I really need to call these idiots again. Last time the customer service representative I talked to told me that my name is still in the registrar information, and therefore nothing was wrong. "Yes, I know I'm still listed as the owner," I said, "but I have no access to the domain and it's been redirected, and by the way, I received an e-mail that says you sold it." *breathes deeply* _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |
