Looks like this site has expired or is awaiting renewal. It appeared for some time to be inactive, but there were some interesting things on it, like videos and fanart.

I doubt it'll come back... But it might. Ron's moved on.

I doubt it'll come back... But it might. Ron's moved on. Hi Captain Rorscherge Stiles, I guess the question is what needs to be done to renew ronstoppable.net, and to whom do we need to contact to get this renewed? Please and Thank You, Tony M. Victorino

Victorino Well, I wouldn't want to bother him. He's got quite a busy life right now, I don't think he wants to keep up with the site anymore and it would be too much of a hassle to hand it over to someone else. Unless it was just transfered over to a site that doesn't need paying. It's not like it gets updated anymore.

And you wouldn't really know unless you ask. I mean how hard can that be. Also, is it Money that is the real Issue here or what? Please and Thank You, Tony M. Victorino

I'm sure that he doesn't want to be bothered about RS.net (I can just tell when I talk to him - he never mentions it, and I'm not going to tell him to stfu about his personal life to bring it up), so I can't be sure of everything else. It can be pretty hard when he has a life now. I know a lot of you don't know how to move on, but it's natural, even Ron did it. The true test if he's busy or not or if he wants to keep the website up or not is if he actually just does it on his own without my bothering him. He'll notice it, and he'll do whatever he wants, not whatever you few guys want.

Hope you guys don't mind if I put my two cents worth in.
Ronstoppable.net was one dandy fine fansite. It was created by someone who really enjoyed Kim Possible, and sought to reach out and unite others who shared that interest. It created a community. Many members of these forums have met each other in real life, and still maintain close friendships even now, in the twilight of it's existence.
We owe that to the man we know as Ron. He gave us Ronstoppable.net not because it was our right to have it, but because he wanted it. It was an act of charity I suppose one could say. Now that man has become disinterested in the show. Many of us have, we've moved on to different things. Newer shows, older ones, books, movies, what have you. Member have devoted more of their time to other, fresher fandoms.
Ron Stoppable, our Admin, is one of those people. Is it fair of us to demand that he return, if he does not want to? Is it fair of us to demand anything from him? I believe that there is an old saying about looking a gift horse in the mouth. Or making yourself look like a horse's ass, I can't remember how it goes. The point I'm trying to make here is this:
Some people decide to leave, others choose to stick around. Both have various reasons. One might leave because of disinterest or because they started a thread about cousin romance, wound up exposing themselves as a pretty raging homophobe, and then an hero their account because they can't handle it when others disagree with them morally on something that probably won't ever affect them. One might choose to stay because they have a genuine love for the community, because they enjoy the times they have here, or because it's really easy to get some of the people around here worked up.
Whatever the choice, whatever the reason, we all must respect each other and our own individual decisions. Be it be our fellow members, or our Admins/Mods.
Now, given that I've basically spent the past month destroying all the credibility I had built up over the past 4 years, I can't really say I expect anyone here to listen to me. Not that it matters. As I said, it's just my two cents. Take it or leave it.

As I said, it's just my two cents. Take it or leave it. Hi Nightspade, Very well said. Everyone has a right to decide what they want to do or not do, or where they choose to go or leave from. And not let anyone try to tell them otherwise. The only reason the subject of the ronstoppable.net Domain Name came up in the first place, was that people from far and near are still searching for it, and they now get this instead, "NOTICE: This domain name expired on 04/18/2010 and is pending renewal or deletion". So, of course, people are asking about it. It's only natural. But the only one that would have the answer would be Ron, I guess. And since Captain Rorscherge Stiles is one of the only people that could contact him, I thought that Captain Rorscherge Stiles would be the one to ask for finding a reason if any. But since Captain Rorscherge Stiles does not feel the desire nor need to do so, that is Captain Rorscherge Stiles choice. And I respect that. But that does not mean that I don't have the right to still ask. There is another old saying, as well, "You Can Lead A Horse To Water, But You Can't Make Them Drink". Please and Thank You, Tony M. Victorino

You can have the right, but sometimes you just don't take it if that right ends up being annoying and nagging and an intrusion on his life which isn't involved in this community anymore. He's busy. No one has to even ask. He'll do it on his own if he wants to. He's an adult, he doesn't need someone to spell anything out for him. You'll just have to be patient and mind your own business. And please don't send him any fortune cookies.

I don't think lordvictorino intended to annoy Ron in any way. Which is why he came to you with his question Serge. And he said he respects your decision.
A shame the site is gone, but that's the eventual fate of pretty much every site on the internet. Maybe someday someone will make a fan site just as cool. Kudos to Ron for having made a great site, and starting this community.

I'm just laying it out ahead of time incase other people think I'm just being difficult and lazy since he had said, about asking Ron: I mean how hard can that be. Other people could read that and be like YEAH SERGE COME ON

I'm just laying it out ahead of time in case other people think I'm just being difficult and lazy since he had said, about asking Ron: I mean how hard can that be. Hi Captain Rorscherge Stiles, To set the record straight. I don't know Ron Stoppable or Captain Rorscherge Stiles outside of this forum. So, I have no Idea of his personal life and have no desire to know. But since he is still listed as Active on this Forum as much as Captain Rorscherge Stiles is, I thought that I have the right to ask him about the Sitch of the ronstoppable.net Domain Name, since it is or was still connected to this Forum. My Posting was not done to annoy Ron Stoppable, nor Captain Rorscherge Stiles for that matter. It was to inquire about if and when the Domain Name will be restored. Nothing more, nothing less. And Captain Rorscherge Stiles's first Post did not really answer that questing. So, I inquired again. Neither did her second post either, for that matter. But I can see that there is no need for me to proceed on this subject here any further. I personally also have no intention to try to contact Ron Stoppable via Fortune Cookie or any other way on this subject for that matter. I just got to remember to let people who ask about what Kim Possible Board I go to, to tell them to look up ronstoppable proboards or ronstoppable's really neat page, which still works, but not ronstoppable.net. I must also add, that I have gotten some PM's from others here that are concerned about how long until this Message Board may be closed, as well. That is still up to Ron Stoppable, Captain Rorscherge Stiles, and the other Mods here. I just hope that we would get some kind of notice, if and when that would ever happen. And not just a notice saying something like, "We could not load the forum that you are attempting to access.", just out of the blue when we try to log onto this Board. Well, I have said my two cents and have no reason to inquire on this subject any further. In closing, I must also add, that I too owe Ron Stoppable a lot of Gratitude for making the ronstoppable.net, Ron Stoppable's Really Neat Page, and Message Board Forums. And Gratitude for Captain Rorscherge Stiles, as well as the other Mods, both Pass and Present, in helping keep these Forums up and going. As well as Gratitude to All the other members of these Forums, both Past and Present. For without All of the people above these Forums would have probably been gone long ago. So, a BIG BOOYAA!!! to All for everything you have all done for these Forums. Please and Thank You, Tony M. Victorino

This forum isnt going anywhere, it's free. No one can see into the future, and although it's very unlikely - the board could just evaporate.

The trouble is, if a url harvestor gets it, that's the end. They'll want a few hundred $$ to sell it to you.
I don't know if Go Daddy works that way or not.
But I'm betting that someone here can go for the domain name if they desire, the only hold back is someone pulling the trigger.
And the cost of course.
