Today's forum issue: I get this page when I try to open the site:
If I select the first link on the list (https://www.grisoghetto.com) I end up at the good old regular-looking Ghetto homepage.
"pending deletion"...
When i got that page, I thought it was something I was doing wrong.

Yes. It would appear that while the domain name has expired, the forum still exists at the un-redirected URL. For how long? who knows?
I've seen this issue crop up on some forums in the past, with geek members taking it upon themselves to "mirror" the forum should everything go tits up. Does anyone more knowledgeable that I know if this is a viable course of action here, while everything gets sorted?

I’m currently backing up/mirroring the Ghetto. I’ll let you know how I get on.

Thanks Beetle, I got the page, clinked on the link and it went back to page, around and around. Thought maybe hosting was up or rent due.

I finally managed to register myself at Forumotion in order to send a request for assistance. Will keep you all posted. The domain has expired but not the forum so I still have to figure out how to renew the domain. Regardless, transferring the administration of the forum still needs to happen and I'm hopeful that my efforts so far will work. I'm going to continue to work on this until I either get some satisfaction or I crash and burn.
Thank you all for your support and thanks, Pete and Mark for your parallel efforts to create a backup. We will prevail.

Maybe Steve's brother renewed it. I don't know, I still can't reach him. I've just sent him a note to ask and to thank him if he did. Still awaiting a response from Forumotion too. I feel like I'm working in the dark on this, but I'm not giving up!
