Not to offend anyone but not accepting donations is just crazy, what does zef say about donations? Do the mods help with the costs? I always thought that the mods had the
tittles because they contributed.

I understand about the concerns in accepting
donations but maybe just accepting like $1 or $2
could help.

I'm sorry if I offend anyone.

Finances have never been an issue, and the admins have never accepted donations - not from moderators, nor from members. Lack of funds is not the reason why the domain became unavailable as far as I am aware.
I can only imagine what a mess the forum would be if we allowed anyone who would donate to have moderation powers

That what I thought too, from the last time I thought it was this issue too about the domain name expired, and when it was all said to be fixed, now this daddy website said the domain had expired, so it just seemed really odd. I thought it was a hack onto AHS

GoDaddy is a legit internet domain registrar.

Haha ohhh my, no way! We are not mods because we've given money!!

As Koumori said, Zef and admins have never accepted money from anyone, as that isn't the issue. (And Koumori - you are sooo right about that! )

It was so sudden! I was just greeted with a white blank page. I think maybe this site had finally died.
It looks like the website just had to be renewed is all. Pretty normal no?
As a suggestion, I think it would be good to have someone as backup for situations that involve the life of a website with a large amount of users. That way the future doesn't rest on one person.
But I don't know the owner or the higher ups on this site so I technically don't know what I am talking about.
