Either Ricoh doesn't want to renew it, or they cannot find the passwords
for access to GoDaddy registration account, as those who had them might be
long gone. In either case, if Ricoh didn't warn PPG users that they are
not going forward with it (I don't know, my notifications are turned off,
and I haven't been there for ages), it is rather disrespectful of them.
Unfortunately, GoDaddy holds to that domain, by keeping it d renewed for
the next year, so you cannot actually buy it. From the point of view of
ICANN, it has been renewed already today. Otherwise, I would have
considered jumping on it. ... Just for fun of it.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone will do that if GoDaddy releases it
some time soon.

Ricoh, can probably afford it, but it just doesn't fulfill their needs.
Perhaps everyone with images posted there should email them and demand
their images back.

I tried to log in to the Pentax Photo Gallery this morning. Instead
of the usual login page, it directed my browser to a GoDaddy page,
which contained this notice:
NOTICE: This domain name expired on 7/19/2015 and is pending renewal
or deletion.
It also provides a button for the question "Would you like to buy this
domain?"
Perhaps we should chip in and buy the domain, if Ricoh can no longer
afford it.
