Registerfly hacked now ? !!!

    I was checking at registerfly (i love their domain power search feature but don't have domains with them anymore after they stole 3 domains from me) and found this warning in their home page

    I don't think this was written by Registerfly Administration so maybe their site is hacked ?

    That's been there for a while.

    Icann probably made them put it there.

    the way it was written looks ugly and doesn't fit in the site design so i thought it was hacked

    I have bad history with those bastards and they deserved what they went to but it took ICANN a while to figure this out but better late than never

    Actually it is not bad. Many customers were uncertain about their names but now they are moved to Godaddy without any fee, they are safe. Who cares about RF now?

    They must've. Check whois of your domain which were at RF and in sponsoring registrar area, you'll see Godaddy. Mine all are transfered to Godaddy already.

    I have tried using this:
    https://mya.godaddy.com/Account/AccountRetrieval/RegisterFly.aspx?

    I enter "rochow" (my rf username)

    Enter the security code, tick the boxes, hit submit, get the email, click the email, it asks for my user ID, I enter it, enter the password, ladada it logs me in, I go to My Domains and it still only has my godaddy ones :(

    if you haven't got a mail but your domain was already transferred to godaddy, then the best thing to do is call their customer support, by the time my domain was transferred to godaddym, by checking my whois, i immediately called godaddy support and within few minutes, they give me an account and managed my domains.

    I'm from Australia, it would cost both arms and my leg to call them. Can I do it online somehow which is free?

    Sigh.

    One of those times where you look and look for something but just can't find it. I left, came back later and it's in THE most obvious position (which I had looked at a million times and managed to somehow miss)

    Hopefully I hear back soon and they transfer all smoothly

    I was from Asia, I have used skype, to call them, maybe you can try out yourself, download skype, fund the skype out using paypal for 1$, then call them, that only cost me $.35 to have my account in godaddy with my domain in.

    so try it, oh, by the way, green is okay for suggestion, lol

    Thanks for your help, I did give you green. However, if you want more green:
    - Help people who have rep
    Why?
    - Because those who have rep are generally those who give rep out (as rep is generally returned depending on the circumstances)

    It's like when you define who is "cool". A person who is cool ADDS value to the group, a person who is uncool TAKES value from the group. Put this in terms of rep, its the people who never give out rep (ie. suck value from everyone else) generally don't get any. The people who give out rep to people who help them (give value to everyone else) generally get rep back and from others. This is because they have been nice and are not being selfish.

    Not saying don't help out those without much rep! But you will notice that you get more rep from reputable members than from non-reputable ones. Don't ask for rep either, sometimes you'll end up with more red than green :D

    thanks for the heads up, don't worry, I am not begging all the time for green, I am always the one giving rep to somebody who have help me also in even a little way.

    we can get back to the topic now, been using skype to call customer service and other support to their landlines, choppy sometimes, but you know cheaper than having to call from your own landline
