P.S. – I’ve emailed Kevin Lawver at his Gmail account asking about these things, so I’ll see what he has to say when/if he replies.

I’ll make that call, if we know for sure that this number goes to an office at AOL , and isn’t one of Kevin’s personal numbers. Kevin still pops on here once in a blue moon. Perhaps he can comment further on this matter?

Actually R_M, looking at your bio to the right, you sound like the right guy to step in and succeed Kevin, and I remember that you had a few good ideas for improving on the site. Why don’t you throw your hat in for the job?

Wow. That is worrisome. Hopefully, this gets resolved, or I may find way too much time on my hands!

yes, this must get resolved! I can’t call, but plz, someone let us know what’s going on in the blog! Thanks R_M for gmailing! What will we do without Ficlets? there is nothing like it!

This is not something I would worry about too much.
It may already have been renewed – Whois records are not always COMPLETELY up to date, if you know what i mean.
I’ve changed the contact info on my domain name a while back, and it still hasn’t been changed on the whois-lookup.
I wouldn’t panic just yet.

Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about content management systems to do it, and I have a full-time dayjob that sucks up all my brain. And I know there are lots of people out there who write more than I do.

Can people stop trying to ping Kevin?

He’s on www.twitter.com/kplawver
and he knows nothing about the Ficlets situation.

Not a thing.

That doesn’t change the fact that the domain is still registered in his name, and if it goes, byebye site.

This concerns me like you wouldn’t believe! I can’t imagine Ficlets shutting down. :(

NO! We gotta keep ficlets going! We just gotta!

Given that Kevin Lawver is apparently not the right person to contact: how would we go about finding out who is? Any ideas for who in AOL to call?
