If this is another crash I'm bailing,and so will everyone else. I don't pretend to be computer literate,and I've been faithful to BT,but this is so frustrating! I didn't even know you could auction off a website! And there are some people really in need of support right now....I sure hope they come here. If this is a crash of some kind I guess I'll just have to share my words of wisdom here more often! (I found it too time consuming to be both places plus all the other forums I'm on).

Buttons, that's why the person(s) that bought the domain name got so much money for it, because of the goodwill still attached to the name.
To make a website, you need three things: (1) a domain (which you purchase from a company that lets everyone in the world know where you are) and makes sure that no one else uses that same domain name; (2) a concept; and (3) a server (a place to physically locate all the content of your website).
John Lester gave up the BrainTalk.org domain and went over to the HastyPastry.net domain about a year ago.
Domains are pretty cheap, unless you're buying one that already exists and has goodwill attached to it.
