Why are you still so persistent in thinking this was 100% my idea and my doings?
Read: I did not act alone on this whole move.
I registered the domain back in May. I didn’t do shit with it, but people knew I had it (people in on the move).
Those in on the move made the decision, not I back a while ago to register a whole new set of domains and just redirect from .ca until .ca just died out.
Once again not my brilliant decision or plan alone. Something we just all agreed on.
Mike (spd-dmn) helped me setup the hosting. I had nothing to do with it.
Back in May 31st, I made a dump of the SQL database from our current host, and installed that on the .net and .org.
How do you think I was able to restore the DB back to May 31st? I wasn’t the owner of SON, so Hostrocket wasn’t going to be able to help me.
Oh and Andrew, staying up all night, importing tables one by one. One word: CRONTAB (or two words: CRON JOBS). It’s on the CPANEL. Speaking of restoring, Andrew, did you happen to see the “sonforumbackup-latest-may31.sql” file on our FTP somewhere?
The new now lets me make hourly backups. And I can restore it in minutes. This was just another added benefit.
This was a trial dump to see if I could install it from the backend of the new host (which provides a much easier way to maintain the db).
The import in the new .db was success so it pretty much sat there for a while.
I was asked by the others involved in this, countless times, to move it to the new host - BEFORE the attack. But I didn’t, as I had been busy everytime I was asked.
Then the attack happened.
The attack just gave it that much more reason to make the move. Why, because I asked Andrew in the past for the domain control panel access. So I could transfer it to the new host. No response there. Apparently according to Andrew I didn’t “hunt” for him hard enough.
How did Rick come into this, oh he merely saw the opportunity when the board went down and realized this was now his chance to maybe take ownership. And perhaps “fix” things.
Hell he even asked me about who owns it and all that on the phone. I told him it wasn’t me, but was Andrew. So how the hell could I even sell it?
Come on people, apply some simple logic here.
Andrew you seriously need to drop this whole thinking that and quit pointing out to me as someone who acted alone on this.
This was a friggin GROUP effort and decision. You want name? Bings, Mike (spd-dmn), and Paul (Axlerod). Can’t remember how well Mike H. was in on this.
