New forum URL wanted

[ZakoBlue]

Forum URL: (private)

Hi, I made a forum under the url beyondtherange.boards.net but quickly realized I had an old forum I could repurpose so I deleted that new forum. However now my problem is that I can't use the desired url on the old forum because it was an existing forum that got deleted. How long do I need to wait to have access to a deleted forum url or is there something else I can do?

ZakoBlue -

Deleted URLS (forum names) do not automatically become available for reuse. Sorry.

• I can restore (undelete) the forum if you'd like so you have it to use.
• Or you can try a different domain extension. I believe that forum name is a available in both probards.com and freeforums.net

Man, that's a real bummer, then what becomes of deleted forum urls? I'll use a different name with the .boards thank you for your response, no need to restore the old forum but I very much appreciate the offer.

EDIT: Actually, one more question if you don't mind answering. Am I crazy or is the first forum url change free? I never went through with actually changing the name, but now it's asking me to pay.

Hi ZakoBlue

There has always been a fee involved in changing the forum url. As Scott posted though, he can restore that forum you deleted, if you wished to use that URL still.

I apologize there was a misunderstanding about all of this. I would be glad to make the URL change free of charge for you this time if you'd like.

Are you sure? I genuinely don't mind paying the fee as it feels supportive to you guys, but I don't know if I can turn down that offer haha. How would we go about that?

ZakoBlue - I just sent you a PM
