YAY!!!!! you got your name back!!!!

I hope this is all a joke, but even if it is it was in poor taste IMO.

Might make for a better website, more pikachu images can't be a bad thing.
Of course more pikachu images would be a good thing, like my avator

The bright side of this is that the last serious bid was by Blink. Outsiders will be put off by the fake bidding after that, so if Ythan really goes through with this at least a Shroomery mod will get it.
Blink I know you are bent on the hardware, and that you'll give Erowid a copy to spider and archive, but is there a chance the site itself, the data, might become available? If so: bless you, you bought us time.

For a completely shitty situation it would be a quite favorable outcome. I think Blink will give the community time to rally up the money he'll want for the site, while keeping the rig.

Not to eBay. They're cut is approaching, if not over, 30K. They are gonna be mighty sore if the auction gets pulled and they get screwed.

If I had an Ebay account I'd bid 10 million this minute.
Just because I know this is a joke and it's not going to happen.

For those of you who think this is a joke, well, it may well be. But consider this. When you register with Ebay, you sign a legally binding contract to honor your auctions.
There are already numerous bids pending on this auction. Even if Ythan refuses to sell at the end of the auction, the official winner will have legal recourse to take the issue into court and wrest away ownership of the domain.
If the domain registrar is served with a court order to transfer the domain to the auction winner, it will be transferred with or without Ythan's consent, joke or not.
If this is a joke, it is a VERY risky one.

Ythan probably found some loophole, or made some deal with them.
Who knows. Ythan is a smart man though.

Ythan really has no risk, though. It's the bidders who carry that burden.

He is if the auction winner decides to play legal hardball.

Odds are they won't, since I'm sure most of those bids are absolute nonsense.

um why are they selling the shroomry I like this internet based website very very much and i dont want it to fall into the wrong hands becouse that would be a terrible thing and i dont want it to happen so what is going on to try to make sure this internet based website goes into the right hands when it is all said and done it would be terrible for this place to change even a little bit we need to try and stop this some one needs to talk some since into ythan becouse he is off his rocker and need to some how take that auction of of ebay, i just hope ebay would allow him to do it without taking legal action against them for doing that they would need to understand that this web site is verry dear to every one
if needbe i could write them a sweet letter to try and get them to let this one slide
