Update: website is online at temporary location googleboard.com.
Alright, I just got off a 21:13 minute phone call with GoDaddy support. The domain was accidentally charged back, and thus the receipt was canceled and the domain was removed from my account. This was a mistake. I decided to pay the $50 chargeback fee and the $30 domain recovery fee to ensure that the domain is returned as soon as possible. I really hope this works.
It will take up to 2 days for the domain to be returned to my account (this Saturday/Sunday). After that, I may have to set the nameservers back to mine.

Godaddy’s service is pretty crappy..
Domain recovery fee?
I agree it was a pretty lame thing to happy to such a large company.Why not just paid for the domain for the next 50 years…

Yeah hope the site’s back up soon!
Thanks for the notification saying whats happening!
how does an allegedly professional admin let such a monumentally disruptive thing happen over such petty sums? and investors are supposed to trust a brand that puts such ineptitude in charge of it’s global community building portal? GOOG to $600? that’s just bait for the suckers because the click fraud and other problems are going to come to light in ‘06 … GOOG goes below $200 by ‘08. smart money is selling in increments, beginning right now. remember, you were warned here, first, so hold at your own irrationally exhuberant risk.
now, how much do you want to bet that bearers of bad news are CENSORED and this message doesn’t last more than an hour?
Google’s real mantra: Don’t be evil, fascism will do.
fas·cism
A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent [brandism,] nationalism, [corporatism,] and racism.
Hey, I see you have the all-members notification out. Cool.
Thanks for the reassurance, and for taking the time to smooth out this bump in the road.
