Hi Giorgos - I've copied and pasted the message below that I received from Josef. It's at the bottom. I can only guess that somehow the message didn't make it through originally? brian ---------------------------- On Tue, Jan 11, 2005 at 07:49:18AM -0600, Brian Sobolak wrote: > Giorgos Keramidas said: > > On 2005-01-10 22:23, Brian Sobolak <sobolak@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi - > >> > >> The listing for the Chicago user group on this page > >> <http://www.freebsd.org/usergroups.html>; is no longer correct. > >> Unfortunately the domain has been snagged by a spammer. > > > > AFAICT, the http://www.chifug.org/ web page is still up.

I lost the domain to a spammer last year. Check the whois on chifug.org and the web site with links on the right hand side. Also the mailto at the bottom of the page does not send email to chifug.org but to sbip.org. Further tracing of domains, registrars and hosting companies lead to bascily spammers. With any luck I should be able to grab this domain back when it expires May. Josef -- Brian Sobolak http://www.planetshwoop.com/
