ok, here it is, we need 500 euros to get the domain name back, if ANYONE is interested in contributing then say so in the post and i will get back to you about getting some cash into a paypal account.

I really want to get this back and other like minded people have expressed an interest in getting the domain sorted as well.

We cant just let the name die and hope it can be as strong as before.
So please put yourt hand in your pocket and help us out.


What do you think

My opinion...... let it go

 

[Summo]

Yeah, I feel the same way.

Yer Freddyshouse is fine. We should let Barrysworld R.I.P imo.

 

[Athena]

I appreciate where brooky is coming from on this but as I said to the guy earlier. For those of us who had to move on going back will never be the same, regardless of the BarrysWorld name.

All good things must come to an end.

The avatar says it all

 

[Cyfr]

I'd rather barrysworld.com redirected to freddyshouse.com so people who were not there at the move, know we are here now.. however I have no spare cash due to various pc breakdowns so sorry..

 

[Whipped]

How much is 500 euros in real money?

 

[throdgrain]

Barrysworld is much better than freddyhouse.

 

[Catsby]

Catsby queries if it is €500 better?

 

[Guest]

500 euros is 334 pounds and i refer you to this from Tedthedog

QUOTE=TedTheDog]I want it! I fuckin invented the name and I'd point it at this site just for the hell of it.

Oi, bloke who has it now, gis!

(yes, I'm amazed he won too (if he really did), considering the actual circumstances. Perhaps GAME couldnt be arsed to fight it. He was pretty smart about it so wouldnt be surprised)[/QUOTE]

 

[mank!]

£334 could help fund research to cure cancer.

 

[Salteh]

My opinion...... let it go

Same here..

 

[Athena]

If Ted's set on getting it back why doesn't he pay for it? Tight git

 

[Damini]

Surely it only costs that much because the bast who bought it knows it has emotional value? I say let him sit with it, and let him realise beyond us few merry nerdlings, there's really sweet F.A. he can do with it, rather than paying him money for being a shiteburger.

 

[Paradroid]

Yeah, maybe Ted could bribe him with a free family membership?
:kissit:

Let it go, is what I say. Make more history and let future punks wrangle over some-other shit name that you just made up on the spot.

I say collect the cash, write to the guy explaining the fund-raising and the whole debate/debacle, then withdraw the offer. Say you've decided to spend the money on something else worthwhile instead.


And buy a new PC called...

 

[Shovel]

Offer him £20. "What else are you going to do with it?" you then say.

 

[Wij]

It shouldn't go to anyone else ffs. Whether we use it or not. Start a Paypal account

 

[Cyfr]

Wij sell yourself on the streets for cash

 

[Guest]

The actual price is 1000 Euros, but i have another person (who wants to remain anonymous) paying the other 500 Euros, i am prepared to put in 100 Euros so we only need 400.

If you cant be arsed or bothered about this then so be it, i am only trying to save a domain name that once mean alot in the world of online gaming in Europe (if not worldwide).


Its up to you lot.

Breaking news, i have got donations to pay for the full amount that the seller wants for www.barrysworld.com.

I will keep you posted on developements


Richard

 

[Damini]

It's not about not being arsed, I think it's out and out extortion from this guy. What right does he have to own it, sell it, and make obscene profit from it? A 1000 Euro paycheck to reward him for taking what was never rightfully his?

 

[Guest]

The panel decided that the domain was rightfully his so he can legally sell it.

I am not bothered about anything else apart from getting the domain back for use by gamers for gamers

i am glad that people have come forward and donated the funds so that we can make this happen

Richard

 

[Whipped]

I'm glad we have it back. The main reason I'd give for having it back is not sentimental or anything, it's simply that I would cringe if I, one day, went to barrysworld.com and found that it link to some crappy porn site*.

* A good porn site would be fine

 

[Guest]

The deals not done yet so it all could go wrong, i will keep you posted.

[old.Tohtori]

Only way that i'll cough up the dough to get back to my beloved homeland, Barrysworld, is if i get my Odd title back...and become an übermod

 

[SAS]

If we could get the domain back and point it to FreddysHouse instead of someone buying it and using it for evil means then lets do it?

But the name BarrysWorld is a chapter in history and FreddysHouse is the future. I doubt very much Ted and Deebs would change back to BarrysWorld.

But pointing BW at FH. Game on

 

[mookie]

just curious, if the the purchase of the domain goes ahead, who does it get registered to?.

if you'd have asked me to donate money to get it back during the good old days, i would've done it with no hesitations, but seeing how well he community has come back together (albeit, without the gameservers ) its shown me that its just a name. If i'd have said that 4 years ago i'd have gone and hanged myself right about now

and as dams said, what the hell is he going to do with it otherwise? dont think he can make more than 1000 euros out of it

 

[Guest]

Lets get the domain back in the hands of the community 1st and then we will worry about who its registered to, all i can say at the moment is that it will be in "safe" hands.

I am negotiating the sale so i suppose it will be in my name to start with, but after that who knows.
