Since my last topic posted, (Current State of Affairs) all contact with Ben and/or his helper has been lost. Without him the board cannot be restarted as he is the registered owner and "payer". Unfortunately last time he must have changed the password to the control panel and failed to notify me of the change. Without being able to access the CP, payment can't be made except by the same card number or having the card number to verify authorization to the account. (Yes I was going to make the back payments and take them over myself while trying to make contact.) I have one last possibility that since I have always dealt with security matters to call security team and hope they have records showing it was myself who dealt with changes and maintenance, and may allow me to change the PW and make payment and get the switch flipped to get things restarted. I have been assured that the final backup will remain available until the domain needs to be renewed, but I have no idea when that would occur. (I believe it was just maybe 3-4 months ago when it renewed.) Failing that I will continue trying to make contact, and report here on results. Nothing more can be done but I will probably continue to try "social engineering" from time to time as well with 1and1.
Thanks VERY MUCH to all for their offers of help.
Rest assured I DON'T GIVE UP EASILY!

Thanks JS. Sounds like a mess. Seems I read that something to do with the domain, or something else, was due in February 2017...but I may be mistaken.

If there's anything I can do, let me know. Aside from a dinner I'm making this Saturday evening, I'm free all holiday long.
Hope we can get things ironed out soon - yes, the addiction is strong, to this wonderful community!
Hope Ben's okay too. JS1, thanks for the info!

JS1 _ Any new progress on getting our board back up? I got a NFT page background when I looked today. Don't know if that means something is happening or not. Please keep us informed as to progress or no progress. Thanks

thanks for the update JS1 .... what a dilemma ,eh ...
you are a very experienced website person , and I'm sure you will have tried " everything " ... and I'm likely going over old ground , but , on the offchance it might help ...
I am not sure of the protocols of our host , but, silly question I know, is it possible to change the password via " forgot password " route ?
is it possible to ask them for a copy of the previous renewal notice , from which some useful info may be taken ?
after you establish your bona fides with them ,would they agree to an "early" renewal , with you as the renewer ?
would they have an email address for Ben which may be different to that which you have ?

I hate to say it SSchur1, but I'm thinking the "bell has tolled" for NFT, and that sucks! This is the first news board/forum I joined, and have been happier than a "pig in a waller". I sincerely hope thinks work out.

I Kinda wonder... What if we started a new forum? Something in the spirit of NFT with a similar name. I'm sure most of us NFT freaks would join. Would it be too hard to make it happen?
