Toups, what did you do? It looks like the hosting bill for SB hasn't been paid and it was taken over. Don't know if this is temporary or not, but I'm assuming this will be a place people go to try to find out what happened. If you know, please post! If you don't please post absurd hypotheses.

Absurd hypothesis:

Tim registered the name selectbutton as part of a registering spree he went on and he told Toups he could use it when Toups put the forum together. Three years later the domain hosting thing he signed up for expired and he didn't pay in advance to automagically renew because lol tim. The moment it expired Internet Names Global registered the url and is holding it hostage. Toups had no way of doing anything because he never owned the name in the first place, and tim is tim.

Its a place holder page, the url was registered by Tim through a yahoo service who is holding the page until either it is renewed or the grace period passes with no word from the owner (tim). I guess someone could have purchased it but the WHOIS records list only Tim and Yahoo as the owners.

Seriously who even knows about this site any more? The last update (apart from this) was like 2005 or something.

I think I'm panicking a bit too much though

It's back now at a .org address, Here's what happened.

Seeing faces around here kinda makes me think I should revamp this mofo. Matt and I talked about it a while back and had some ideas, but nothing came of it. What would you want in a TGQ 2010? Or does nobody really care anymore?
