Y'all back from your withdrawal symptoms yet? UKB went down on the 7th june as the domain name registrar suspended the domain name as Bubs had not paid to renew it. I looked at Whois and found the name was in that state and paid to renew it.

Happy posting. may the news flow freely.

Of course, this is just the start, I plan a gallery of pictures of me, and perhaps a tributes to me thread, and a .  :spank: I'll shut up and go back to my cave.

Nice one!

Can I be cheeky and ask how much it costs to register a domain?  For instance, if it's a really unpopular and esoteric name is it say, free?! 
I'd really like to see ukdownclimbing.com, uktraversing.com and ukbelaying.com (inspired by the Belay Times from Seb's old High article).

Fuck me - thanks Dobbin, I am really really grateful for what you did fella :) :)

Why did this have to happen when I was on holiday for a week - typical !

They usually give you a few weeks grace when the names are up, so am puzzled as to why they were pulled so fast - will re-imburse you the necessary fella.

Thanks once again!

Dont worry dude - my pleasure, think of it as an early contribution to the site - why should you have to pay for it all?  :beer2:

Paz - this was a renewal so was pretty cheap (names like those you suggest would probably be up to about £30 a year?)

You can always donate to the mighty dobbin cause right now mate, I accept credit cards, cheques etc...

I've often wondered if I placed an advert in the newspapers that basically says 'Give me £3.75 please' whether anyone would do it. I would state in my advert that you wouldnt get anything for your money.
