It's so interesting that some people call "saving the forum" stealing. I seriously can't feel nothing but gratitude towards Ayumi for saving the forum. From what I have seen here, this forum is not stolen so I don't understand where this theory came from. :p

There seems to be a lot of confusion going on at the moment. I'll try and clear some of this up. It's sort of a mess right now behind the scenes for the moderators as well, so don't feel we're ignoring this topic on purpose. We're hard at work figuring out how to go forward and ensure this doesn't happen again.
Zef is the founder of AHS and he has been in and out of the community since 1999. Alongside another administrator, he naturally had the server domain details and has insisted on keeping it under his attendance. This wasn't questioned by anyone as it seems a good enough decision - too many cooks spoil the broth, and obviously too many people having access to our server and the payment of it makes AHS a little less secure, in theory. However, due to circumstance, it seems Zef has decided to stop payment for the server. Our back-up administrator is unfortunately on a long break from most things online to concentrate on their career and wasn't around to see the server domain timer ticking down, hence why our domain name went publicly on sale without any warning. It was a surprise to the moderators as well. Luckily, the AHS member Ayumi saw the message and bought the domain to save it and try and restore the forum. She has been in contact with the moderators about securing the domain for the future. Since restoring the forum back-up we have seen a few issues with avatars and the like; we need someone with actual server access to help us there, which is unfortunately limited to Zef and the other administrator, who we are currently trying to contact. I hope this explains a little more as to what happened and to what we're trying to accomplish in the short-term to maintain stability. I hope everyone understands that for the sake of respecting the privacy of certain individuals, I won't go further into details on some topics - but questions are welcomed, and I'll answer if I can. |

Koumori's explanation was just as I had thought this whole deal might have happened. I hope moderators can get in touch with Zef and the other admin soon to solve this thing for good.

Thx for clearing things up Koumori ^^
So the main task is getting in touch with the 2 main person holding access to the server? Is the payment for the server ending soon? >. < hopefully not as it might just wipeout the data once the contract ends.

So Ayumi has in effect stabilised AHS in this form for a full year by purchasing ahsforum.com?
So our avatars may be lost and need re-uploading the forum itself is going to be stable in this condition for the next 12 months? If anyone is in contact with Zef, I do hope that the stopped payment is an oversight and not the result of him being ill/unable to do it anymore. Please pass on our well wishes to him if you can |

The server domain, as far as I know, is now secure since Ayumi paid for it.

I'm thankful for Ayumi saving everything.
Whoever made that farewell page seemed clear that they had no intention of bringing back the forum. So I'm glad ayumi bought the domain |

Hi again!
Thanks to those who cleared up some things for me (truehappiness/Koumori). Since people have been wondering, I'll let you know that ZeF actually handed me the domain himself. I noticed it expired, and asked him about it. It's on my account now, and I have no intentions of letting it expire again! But in short, I only have access to the URL name, and not the actual forum software. (Which means I cannot fix the avatar issue..) I don't want to call myself owner. I want to make it clear that I believe the staff and moderators on AHS are what should be considered as owners. The only reason I haven't handed the domain over, is because I don't actually know anyone enough to decide on where it would be safe from expiring.. I don't want the domain to die again, and if I can prevent it, I will do so. Because seeing how the downtime affected people made me sad. If I could just take the whole forum and move it to a new server where it would be safe, I really would've done that already. But like I said.. no access, so no fix for now. Hopefully that can be done soon though! Edit: Quote:
Really wish I could do more about the situation but I'm stuck right now. :/

I can live without my avatar for now. I'm just glad we have AHS again for where else can I get news about so many artists in one place. Thanks Ayumi!
