Please check the below Tidal Fish video news broadcast where I explain in full what happened to Tidal Fish.

Thanks for all the emails and things. In short, we were jammed because RegisterFly.com, the place where we have our domains registered, went out of business but has been scamming people with collecting money and not renewing the sames. Then when the site expires because they do not renew it they send the site to a landing page where they make money off the clicks. If you Google "registerfly" you will see the class action lawsuits and things. people are losing 1000's of domain names. Total mess that I never knew was gong on since all looked fine when I renewed the TidalFish.com name for 2 years on April 26,2007.
If you have a domain name with RegisterFly I strongly suggest you read the message boards out there that you can find by googing registerfly to find out how to get your name back under your control.
Thanks for all the calls, email and support. I never really felt like a victim before, but I sure did yesterday when I could not get through to RegisterFly because all their numbers have been disconnected and everything. What a ride this one was. Life in the day of a guy running a fishing website;-)
Hope everyone did some fishing yesterday!
