The web site used by this port, http://fbsdmon.org, has been taken over by cybersquatters. That means that users are sending their system info to an unknown party. The port has had no maintainer for almost two years and the original maintainer (and previous owner of the website) is not responding to email. Also, it's redundant with the still-maintained sysutils/bsdstats.

Since there's no way to force this port to be deinstalled from users' machines, to stop data being sent to an unknown party, also do the following: - Modify the port to never send data to fbsdmon.org, bump PORTREVISION - Mark the port IGNOREd for ports users, but allow package to be built and set extended 6 month EXPIRATION_DATE (or should it be extended to a year?) to give a modified package chance to replace original one on users machines PR: 217099 Submitted by: asomers MFH: 2017Q1 Changes: head/ports-mgmt/fbsdmon/Makefile
