Sorry for all the troubles and the confusion, I did my best to e-mail all of you but unfortunately there were still problems.

Full Story:
My domain, feshrine.net, expires on January 25th, 2009. This being said, I originally renewed it with GoDaddy for two years, "transferring" it. However, I didn't know that I never actually finished the transferring process, so when it came to expire it actually DID expire (despite me renewing it).
I panicked and went to notify everybody on AIM, the AIM Blast, as well as PM everyone. I gave the URL to the forum, the alternate URL, http://feshrine.b1.jcink.com. I don't like people using this but just to keep the site in tact I had to.
Now I started to find out what was wrong. I looked up FAQs and became aware that I hadn't finished. I desperately made phone calls and managed to get to the point of an authorization code. Luckily I got it, however they [support team] also had to change some administrative info, and weren't able to. This problem was caused by the domain being expired already and making some tings 'not work'. They said that they'd try and fix it and so I hung up and hoped that everything would be OK.
The next morning I got a little frustrated and so I called my domain registrar up again. This time, a lady with an accent helped me. She said that I would have to renew the domain with the current registrar and then wait a week before I could transfer it to GoDaddy. This being said, I remembered that yesterday, Ralph, the guy I was speaking to, offered to have me stay with my current Registrar for a domain for $9.99.
So, I talked to the person on the phone and said that yesterday, the person I was talking to, offered to have me renew the domain for a year for $9.99. She agreed and so we did it; I gave all my information and renewed it.
Soon after the new expiration (and current one) became 1/25/2010. Some of my information was updated, but not all of it. I still had to wait a week before I transferred. In any case, I updated the information back and she told me that it would take some time before everything came back to normal.
This being said, it will take some time for the domains and WHOIS and such to update, but once it's all "propagated", as she said it, everything will be back to normal. If you're viewing the forum under http://forums.feshrine.net then everything already IS back to normal. If not, then it might be or it might not; the max time it should take is 24 hours or so, according to her.
That's pretty much the full story. Thanks to DH_Ninja and felover3 for being sympathetic/motivational. xDD

Now that that is finished, anyone want to, say, donate some money to renew the domain for at least another year? XD
