hi,
it seems that some domain-grabbing company has just taken it to make money out of it.
someone has forgotten to renew the domain registration, or didnt pay it.
what a shame .....

they're just out to get some cash, any price they can. i'm sure they have a script that picks up random lapsed sites.

sorry, the forum requires registration, i refuse to do so ;-)
anyway, i just mailed to our provider about the situation. our provider is very supportive of open-source and the community, they just believe in it. and i think they have good contacts, too. maybe we have a chance to get it back. would be a real shame if it would be gone forever, just due to sloppiness ....
greets,
chris

Oh, sorry, i didn't see that requirement. The post was mainly a discussion of BuyDomains prices, which they say are non-negotiable. Generally though, if you wait a few months, they'll give you a much lower quote. They're out to make profit (even if it means exasperating entire communities of users) , and the lowest bid is better than no bid at all.
Unfortunately unless you own a trademark related to the domain it seems unlikely they'd turn it over.

I bought pure-data.info as a backup to puredata.info, which IEM bought. My nameservers/webservers automatically redirect pure-data.info to pure-data.iem.at. It should come on line soon.
