Amazing, it also appears that they recently renewed their domain. It is a little worrying that they only renewed it for 8 months though:

WinMX.com:

Updated Date: 08-jan-2005
Creation Date: 08-oct-2000
Expiration Date: 08-oct-2005

erm, domain registrations are for a year at a time - they extended the registration last year until 2005 - and they did the same near then end of 2003 to extend it to 2004... i guess they are just playing it safe and not wanting to waste a years domain registration should the worst happen? i mean its not like a years domain registration is only a small fraction of their yearly running costs... lol

the last updated date of january though - i dont know exactly when the change happened but it was probably about then... it used to be under Frontcode Technologies now its under WinMX Technology Associates....

i think somethings happening, lots of small changes - i hope its something good

I hope that just means they took a slice of someones investment money and so formed a new company, otherwise we may be in trouble

but who would have an interest in keeping the winmx network running, there's only one group of people i can think of that would prefer winmx to stay as it is

correcion, 2 groups of people - but assholes dont count as a group of people so only 1

http://www.frontcode.com is in a bad state, http://www.frontcodetechnologies.com is parked by our friends at GoDaddy.

WinMX Technology Associates
PO Box 50
Port Vila,
VU

And a PO Box in Vanuatu (I guess that's so they are not at risk from the RIAA).

Something is definately going on, I wonder if Frontcode have gone bust?

[KM]

I had a small theory about a takeover of winmx - but of course i wont say too much about which group i could think of that would want to keep winmx running but dont want it known that they are keeping it running... you can guess

[quicksilver]

Hmm , err guys .. is there any good news ?

[KM]

the good news is, winmx still works - lol

[quicksilver]

Hmm , for now it seems , I better get myself a "Juniors, First Peer Network Kit " , wonder how much they cost ,and whether it works straight out of the box

Has http://www.frontcode.com been a pinkish 404 page since battye's last post here, or is it more recent that this happened?

[battye]

Yeah it was like that when I last posted, I think I mentioned it around here before.
