Yes, it is a worry.

as for the URL, it is possible but you have to manually add formatting tags img.webmd.com/dtmcms/live/webmd/consumer_assets/site_images/article_thumbnails/other/cat_relaxing_on_patio_other/1800x1200_cat_relaxing_on_patio_other.jpg]underline like this red like this bold like this[/url]

If you click "quote" you will see exactly how it is formatted

Some of us would just like to be able to post links period. That feature is broken for new members except for the helpful senior members that fix and repost our links.

---

I wish I could do something about that but as you can see from the other posts, the originator, sole owner and only admin for the forum is missing in action. A mere moderator does not have the power to fix this.

It is not just the domain name renewal which is a concern. Presumably the web site is hosted on an actual or virtual server maintained by a hosting company, which may or may not be the same company where the domain is registered.
If payment for the website hosting ceases then it will eventually just go offline regardless of whether the domain registration is still current.

I wish I had some skills to offer, as already said it would be a great pity and huge loss if we lost our RS forum for a second time. Some way to back-up the data ahead of an uncertain renewal in May would be wise, if anyone can.
That said I hope Holger is well and staying away for only the best of reasons.

And if that's the case, I suppose there's no particular reason that the server and domain name renewal should be in sync, so this site could vanish without warning at any time...

Maybe someone who can speak German could make enquiries with the hosting company to see what the situation is regarding payments to them. If it is due soon or overdue they might be prepared to accept a collective payment from members to keep the hosting going even though none of us have admin access. This could buy some time to look at solutions if Holger does not reappear. It was mentioned in a previous post that the hosting is by https://www.xobor.de/xobor-premium-service.html

The domain renewal is probably more difficult to arrange. I found some WHOIS information, but that may relate to the original forum and seems like it might be out of date as it seems to be US based. I have now found some different WHOIS info which relates to Germany so is more likely to be correct. I will post this if I can determine that it is correct. If the domain is not renewed or auto-renewed at the next expiry, then it should at some point become available to be registered by somebody else.

This appears to be the correct WHOIS information which indicates that the domain registration expires on May 7th 2021.

Maybe someone who can speak German could try phoning Holger's business number (which is readily found via Google) and speaking to someone there... at the very least it should be easily possible to find out whether he's still there and just not interested in the forum for whatever reason, or whether there's a more worrying reason for his absence.

Looking at the member's location map at geomap.php I can see one or two active members in Germany... how about it, @Stefan S.?

Hello everybody ,

sure I can try something, but it could take a few Days.

A few Days ago my RS fell over and my Hand was under the Motorcycle

I slipped off the main Stand while Parking in the Rain and fell to the Side with the Motorcycle.

Everything is not so bad and the Insurance pays the Damage, the broken Parts are all already Ordered.
The Hand is feeling better again.

I have to read through Everything in this Thread during the next Days here, so that I know roughly what it is about
I haven't been here for a long time either....

I'll make one comment regarding this forum: It has the quickest page reloading system of any forum that I visit. It sure saves a lot of time scrolling between posts compared with the F800Riders forum, as an example of one that is really slow reloading pages. And it doesn't seem to have any banner ads like some other forums do. Which makes me wonder how it is funded, which is likely the reason that it loads so quickly. I would sure hate to see it go away.

---

I will also contribute to keeping the forum alive, if necessary.

I hope Holger is okay and just busy beyond belief. I have no skills that can keep this site going but I do love it here and wish to continue.

Also all without advertising

The Costs (apr. 600€ a Year) are covered by voluntary Donations from the Members.
At the Time here is currently 1150 € in the Forum's cash Register.

I would have no Problem giving something here too.

I would also donate.
We did the same thing on i-BMW so we did not have to deal with ads.
