I managed to register both shadowscope.net and shadowscope.us; Both should forward here (along with richiemiles.com, which I have owned for several years. the subdomains which redirect to my BBS that’s hosted here, should also forward correctly. You can now access the board through: bbs.shadowscope.com, bbs.shadowscope.net, bbs.shadowscope.us and shadowscope.noip.us I have also upgraded my weather station […] →Read more
