Tell me about it. What is "variousartists" thinking... All I can think of is that they just wanted to steal our google rankings which is what has happened.

Here's what I think is going on here:
- You were given The Golden Toe by this collective
- The registered a new domain name because you're the registrant of the other one, and they didn't have access to it
- The moved the content over to the new domain and server
- They haven't edited the site yet to reflect the fact you're no longer with themAmirite?
- It is a totally different existing company / collective. Me and the four other guys from "the various artists" are going to have to take it further I guess.ae
- Aha, so you don't know these other guys _at all_?Continuity
- Correct. No connection. They just put our site on their domainae
- +1 for "Golden Toe"ahli

Chris, did you contact your fellow various artists or not? Simple question. Surely they would have something to say.
As for the site being down, if it's a memory issue like you say that would usually just involve restarting the server.
- Oops...Brian, sorry hahaukit
- Dude. We share an office and are all directors of the company. It is a totally different company in another state of aus...ae
- Also - my site is down but am fixing it. I know what is wrong - just a coincidence it seams that the site is down at the same time I realized another company grabbed the entire site.ae

What we've got here is failure to communicate...

"A Liam Young called us yesterday to say our site was down too - makes it more weird"
They do have caller ID in Australia right? Did it occur to you to call him back?
How did you contact the original Liam Young anyway - phone, email? There's got to be a way to get in touch. People generally don't just not answer phone calls.
Sorry Brian but the longer this goes on I'm going to have to declare either bullshit or just a case of overwhelming incompetence.

OK, assuming this isn't some twisted joke (and I am going to assume it's not because no one could dream up a story this daft), step one is simply to figure out what the hell is going on.
Look up your evil alter ego various artists, get their info, e-stalk them, steal their women, contact them if possible and threaten them with violence, legal action, or some combination thereof.

It was more me asking for an opinion on what peeps would do. I have tried to contact the guy and have taken the issue to professional bodies about this issue, but thought it was interesting to see what people did who found themselves in my situation. Seams like one or two people have had good suggestions...

oh, you wanted GOOD suggestions
