Actually *my* question was about why I had .com book marked and now
it's .org.

IIRC, both the .org and .com sites were true rfc sites, apparently now they
have let the .com one go. Just hope nobody completely incompatible with
what this group is, picks it up and does something we wouldn't really like
with it.

It was .org from the get-go, i.e. ever since John Robinson (Levelwave)
registered the domain in 2003, taking over the rfc part of Damsel's
Edible Complex site.

John paid for the registration out of his own pocket; the renewal fee
was paid by a few rfc donors, IIRC.

The .com part was added by Cathy when she took over the .org domain.
The registration for both the .org and the .com domains has been paid by
Cathy out of her own pocket ever since.

I'm not asking you to second guess, just wondering out loud... I
wonder why they would keep org and not com? Com is automatic with me,
and I have to think about org. Usually nonprofits have that
extension. Is it less expensive to rent?

I got a blank screen with Firefox, but when I went on with Chrome, there
was a totally foreign looking site calling itself "Recfoodcooking" with
lots of links, none of which I followed.

Which begs the question why didn't she poll the group to renew both if
people have offered to help pay for it?

It's up again. We didn't remember to make the annual renewal payment for
the .com domain in time (the .org domain renewal was only due later this
month) so the domain registrar we use "cut us off" <grin> Have just done
the renewals for both, so no worries for another year ;-)

Thanks to all for the many offers to help with the payments but it's
really not necessary; it actually costs peanuts (that's the OBFood
part)for the domain registration(s)and Jack hosts it on one of own servers.

As for the surveys - if anybody has any in mind, I am only to happy to put
them up; I just ran out of ideas myself... The webmaster (at)
recfoodcooking (dot) com address will now work again too.

When the site was originally put up many years ago it was only registered
under the .org address. When we took it over we thought we might as well
register the .com address too - as a lot of people are more familiar with
that naming convention for domains. Anyway, they both point to the same
site so whichever one you prefer to use ends up in the same place (if I
remember to pay for them in time, that is) <laugh>.

A site cannot get into your system and change your bookmarks.

What probably happened was that some maintenance team moved the site
over to another server for load balancing purposes, and the DNS info
took a while to propagate.

When you do something like that, the DNS record gets changed by hand on
the home DNS server. It then gets changed on every other server
worldwide. This global change happens automatically, and is based on
aging rules the systems administrator has set up on his DNS server.

Every DNS server is different, and has different rules.

The condition is aggravated by the fact that usually, different elements
on a webpage reside on different servers. So everyone will experience
different items missing, at different times.

Almost every one of you is using a different DNS server, so you will get
different results, until the thing stabilizes.

It sometimes can take several days for the change to propagate.

BTW: I never saw the placeholder. I got a blank page with a sidebar.

The Chaotic Kitchen welcome screen didn't arrive until this morning.

This is domain name hijacking. Some compaies are known to do this and
warehouse the names for resale. Another rip-off was hosting providers
would check to see if a domain name you submitted was available, then
register that name themselves and claim it was taken. It got pretty
slimey, there, for awhile, one of the well known hosting providers
being accused. Then there's reverse hijacking, an old M$ and Apple
Inc trick. You can google for details.

I get solicitations every week from my domain registration service to
renew a domain that I let lapse. They'll offer the domain for 10 or 15%
discount. There's a limit to how much they can charge because I can
always go through another service to register the domain.

Of course, since the registration for recfoodcooking.com lapsed, anybody
could have bought or "hijacked" the domain. OTOH, you're not going to be
able to get much dough by doing this.

If you were a bad person, you could try hijacking the domains of your
business competitors by keeping tabs on when their domains expire in
hopes that they'll forget to re-new and then put your own site up
instead. That would be pretty nasty. :-)

I know you post surveys when you get a subject, and if I want to
see one, I should submit one. Heh. I've been thinking lately I have
missed them so it was disturbing to see the whole website hijacked.

Pity I don't do FB <evil grin> because websites/blogs on gen-u-wine South
African food appear to be few and far between. Most of them are just there
to advertise cookbooks/recipe collection CDs that one has to pay for.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not averse to paying for cookbooks/recipe
collections, but when I'm having an 'all out of ideas' day and just want
to surf the 'net quickly for something that looks interesting it's hard to
find local recipes I haven't already tried. Heh, I usually end up trying
something from other parts of the world - which often means having to
substitute certain ingredients that are not available locally.

You can find some good recipes on Facebook. Yesterday, I found a key
lime pie recipe that I might try.

Don't blame Google... it's because you don't know that one is The Cape
of Good Hope (Africa) and one is Cape Horn (South America).

I don't see how a cook book can include foods of all Africa, perhaps
warty melon!

Nah. It's probably just one of those "I should submit this idea" thoughts
that flashes through your mind and then gets promptly forgotten <laugh>
However, all ideas are indeed welcome.

More like "held for ransom" by the domain registrar concerned <g>. My own
fault entirely - as they do send us email reminders to renew - but life
has been rather hectic here lately and I just put it on the round-tuit
list... and by the time I did get a round-tuit, the credit card we use for
on-line payment purposes had expired which meant we had to make time to
pick up the new card from the bank, so it got put it on hold again... ya
know how these things go. But anyway, as they say, it turned out OK in the
end.

That's what I didn't know... I know if you go around one continent
they say "around the Cape" and they say "around the horn" when you're
going around the other one, but which is which? I dunno and the place
names down there don't help me. I'm guessing that the tip of
South America is The Horn because it's shaped more like a horn than
the tip of Africa.

Have you tried out Joe Pastry? No real recipes on FB, IIRC but you can
friend him there. The full web page is:

It is a favorite of mine.

Are you just retarded or what? You seem unable to research anything
for yourself. Did you get through your education in that way? Did
everyone else do your homework while you stood around flapping your
gums uselessly?

She couldn't find her own arse with Google. She's a complete waste.

That's why you never use the registrar-provided check thingies to see if
something is available, until you have made the decision to register it.
Normally a 'dig whatever.com' is enough to see if someone already has it -
not completely sufficient, there are conditions where dig or even 'dig
whatever.com ns' fails, but the domain is still not available, but a lot
better than tipping a registrar off.
