"If" That is true, then Pet has sold it without me knowing. Something he can of course do, but would be a little sly of course...

As passionford are on the IB site I'd say it's pretty deffinate they own passionford! They are a pretty legit company and don't stand much to gain just 'using' a link to passionford for no reason

Also, I presumed that's why the recent board relocation testing took place? I know scoobynet is being moved to a 'faster' server. When I read passionford belonged to them I just presumed peeps here knew and the testing was related to this.

I assure you that the only Person who can confirm or deny this is Petrucci the owner of the domain and he hasnt been around for days.

He doesnt even knwo i have called it a day on here, or if he does, he has chosen not to reply to my e-mails.
