MyShoutBox.com website gone?

I tried to log in to MyShoutBox.com today to prune messages on our PMT Forum Shoutbox but was surprised to see the following message on the MyShoutBox website:

Not Found
The requested URL / was not found on this server.

Hmm… what’s the problem?

Our shoutbox, however, is still working fine but if the website is gone, there is no way to edit or delete messages so we might be forced to remove the shoutbox entirely.

I did a Whois check on the site to see if the domain has expired. The results:

Whois Record
domain:          myshoutbox.com
nserver:         ns1.idnscan.net
nserver:         ns2.idnscan.net
nserver:         ns6.idnscan.net
created:         2002-08-15
updated:         2008-08-18
expire:          2009-08-15

Indeed, the domain name has expired. I wonder if the site owner is in the process of renewing it.

With an Alexa rank of 125,000+ and more than 100,000 US visitors to the site per month, MyShoutBox.com would surely be a lucrative domain name to grab. * wink wink *

Anyway I’ll check the site again later. And probably post a message on the PMT Forum shoutbox while it’s still working.
