[[Online Chat]] was still accessible but due to there being no [[Moderators|moderators]] he granted powers to [[User:Scott|maddoctor/Scott]] and Chipmoney to help moderate the chat. The choice was wait with HostDime or rent a server. Zorg went searching for the best deal he could whilst the game was still down.
