Namecheap pulled the plug on the Neocities dot org domain in response to the site apparently being offhandedly being mentioned in a random court case in India. No warming or anything, just shut it down and suspended their account so they couldn't migrate. Details are on neocities's bluesky

Namecheap, the registrar, is the trigger-happy lot in this saga. This is an emerging problem these days in the online world. I believe that GoDaddy also have their share of problems, so one is really stuck between a rock and a hard place on whom to choose.

@sonic2k oops didn't realize the "they" in my original post was a bit ambiguous. Fixed that :p

@tabf5 I might transfer over to Porkbun if push comes to shove. Found an article from them explaining how to do it, in case any of my followers are considering doing the same! https://kb.porkbun.com/article/88-how-to-transfer-a-domain-from-namecheap-to-porkbun

"My followers" sounds weird and influencer-esque but you get what I mean
what is a possum-pocalypse? i just looked it up and got something about many possums in suburban places of the big island called australia... appreciate some help before i go into the rabbit hole
I had a possum die under my house and unleash a plague of flies and stench last week. Thankfully some maintenance guys took care of it but it got BAD. I slept like, 5 hours across 3 nights because I couldn't escape the smell and was so stressed about it
*by possum, I mean a North American Opossum, not an Australian Possum. Poor guy got wedged between two bits of bracing in the crawl space under my house
I had a mouse die in my stove over the winter. It was awful. I cannot imagine a whole opossum⦠awful
thanks! that sounds awful...
