they offered Frank a shedload of money and a job in order to gain control of the site and to silence Craig aka Compunightmare perhaps?
since pre buyout he was one of the biggest voices in the anti NTL marketplace, in fact he became infamous for it. (been doing a little background research  )
but still, back to topic...
Has anyone tried phoning Matthew and see what is happening?

Awaits flaming for stupid question but:
Is the community. not just another name under the host ntl.com
This is how it would appear in an W2K active directory
I.e. I have my home network as tricky.local and my servers under this domain appear as server1.tricky.local
Grabs bucket of water just in case!

Well, I for one am dissapointed in you.
Sorry, but you started the site with the best of intentions. People stopped posting. You sold out.
I have a forum and sometimes it is like a scene from a crap western, only I don't even have the tumbleweed, but I press on.
I made my forum to help others. If no-one posts for a while, so what? someone will post again and I can help them
I wouldn't do anything like that even for "undisclosed fee"

Shows just what a state Ntl are in though doesn't it.
If it wasn't so sad it would be laughable.

It's nice to know that you won't be next, 'cos when they shut the forums down on .co.uk people are going to need a place to come.
The saddest thing is, some people over there still think the sun shines out of Ntl.

If it made no difference in the way they think, how come they thought about paying an undisclosed fee for it?
My old Fiesta has no impact on ntl, will they buy that??

Is this "undisclosed fee" substantial?

NTL appear to have missed a couple of registrations where they have the .co.uk address but not the .com and .com address when they don't have the .co.uk
Just considering registrering a .com now...

There was some confusion between ntlcommunity & community.ntl, so perhaps this is for the best. However it is the principal of the thing that matters.
I guess the principal is "to sell out for a shed load of cash"
Dare I mention "business ethics"
ROTFL
(Just to be clear, I'm relieved that Matthew hasn't been consumed by lawyers)
