As effectively a provider of hosting you can't simply "punish" someone like that by attempting to take away their project just for being rude and irresponsible. They may not have gone about it in the best way, but the bottom line is GPE is their project to do with as they please.
Is handhelds.org actually going to develop GPE or is this purely a personal dispute? You speak of forking, but if almost all of the developers move away and you still try to keep the project are you not in fact the people making the fork?
Even if you disagree with the ownership issue, you can't disagree with the fact that this is affecting the GPE user community and also any potential GPE users. I mean, if you as a potential user search for GPE and you find two "current" websites, how can you be anything but confused?
Please, step back, look at it from all angles and tell me you are being completely rational, unemotional and reasonable about this. Ask yourself: is this the right thing to do for the software? Is this the right thing to do for the handheld Linux community as a whole?
