Occassional checks on the Searcha.co.nz website show that it has been offline for a month now.

The domain registration information still shows the same old disputed details: http://whois.domaintools.com/searcha.co.nz. Shallendra Singh’s lawyers claim he’s not the owner but the whois documentation clearly state he is.

I’ve heard that the old NBO (National Business Online) offices at Albert Street are now officially the Searcha offices – which seems bizarre given that the website doesn’t even exist.

So… all the people who have signed up for advertising on Searcha – have you been told what’s happened to your advertising?

• Has it been transferred to one of the other sites?
• Have you been refunded?
• Any explanation at all?

I’d love to know!
