The Schnauzer Forum

In the event that we cannot resolve the current issue with the domain name schnauzer-forum.co.uk, I need to start considering alternatives.

The domain name schnauzers.co.uk is for sale, but the price tag is £395, so unless we can get 80 members to chip in a fiver, it's not going to happen. Unless of course, someone knows the person who owns it and will they part with it for free or less money. http://webwhois.nic.uk/cgi-bin/webwhois ... mit=Lookup

I have thought of a few in the poll. If you think of any others, please add them and I can take a look.

I hope you are able to find a good solution Dean - I've voted.

I wonder if the forum would consider the sponsor option? Another forum I belong to has a scheme whereby members may contribute on a sliding scale and become "silver" "gold" or "diamond" sponsors - this is voluntary but presumably enough dosh is then in the kitty to pay for expenses such as you mention. This other forum also has advertising revenue which I don't know if the forum has considered or not.

I have voted on a new name but would be willing to give more than a fiver to get the Domain for sale ;)

am happy to donate to whatever we need, not bothered about what name we use, as long as we still have a place to go to!!!

Jen said pretty much what I wanted to say.

There is also the option of schnauzer.co.uk (without the s on the end) as owned by;

Would this be another option?

Thanks for all your efforts again Dean - we're happy to raid the penny jar

Barnaby is happy to donate his pocket money too... don't tell his Daddy though ... !!

Im happy to chip in too...am just pleased to have the forum full stop, whatever the domain name!

Has anybody contacted the Northern Schnauzer Club? It would seem that whoever owns our domain, owns theres as well? Would that be any use?

Happy to chip in too

will gladly chip in, this site is a wealth of information, ant x

I'll happily chip in but surely thebestwebsiteinthewholewideworld.co.uk would be appropriate.
