Title: LemmingsForums.com domain is finally back in the community's hands
Post by: namida on September 03, 2025, 02:24:50 AM
Or rather, has been since May, but I only just found out about it.

I don't personally have it - a trustworthy member of the community managed to secure it. Since they haven't spoken about it, and I only found out when I reached out to "the owner" earlier since I noticed it was no longer being used even to serve ads (literally no DNS entries), I can assume they don't want it widely known that they have it; so I won't say who it is. (I initially made this topic for the staff board before realising there was no reason to confine it to there; and even then, I kept the person anonymous.) They can reveal it themselves if they wish to.

I've coordinated with them to set up a redirect to a dedicated topic explaining why .com links no longer work (https://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=7213.0); I've closed that topic since it's intended to serve solely as a post we can redirect such links to, and started this one because I'm sure the community will want to discuss this. There hasn't been any discussion about transferring ownership or anything like that, basically just them confirming they have it and coordinating to set up the redirect.
