I lost quixote.com (which I'd had since domain registrations were free) to a missed renewal while I was in grad school. To add insult to injury, the ultimate owner of the domain name had a parking lot filled with trucks with quixote.com painted on the side that I had to drive past every day on my way to the university.

At least they did something with it. One of my domain names has been on sale for 10.000$ by a squatter for a few years after a billing issue.

Well it resolves to something now. I guess they relaxed their policy.

While this other policy got worse...? > If christian.org had been secured by out and out blasphemers, why couldn't I get a simple swear word? http://www.christian.org/ > This domain has been suspended due to non-completion of an ICANN-mandated contact verification.

This is solvable by just clicking on the link they send to the contact of record.

> I had a big notebook next to my PC with all the IPs written down. Likewise! It was like having a secret code, or treasure map, and this data was much coveted among local young hackers.

There weren't many web sites, so I'll be honest, it was mostly IPs for ftp sites with upload directories that had accidentally been left open and were now filled with warez.

I'm a bit too young to remember the advent of the Internet but old enough to remember when the FXP scene burst onto BBS's with enough warez to fill every hard drive I could get my hands on.

http://www.links.net/webpub/domains.html says: > It used to be free, now you have to pay $50 a year for the priviledge ofyour own address. Some people aren't standing for it, Refuse to Pay!. The "Refuse to Pay!" link 404s, but is present in the Wayback Machine, and is an amusing read: https://web.archive.org/web/19970606222403/www.alaska.net/~n...

Imagine if registration had stayed free, there'd be no domain squatters, and that cool idea you had that only works if the domain is available would be possible!

On a related note, FUFME is still online: http://www.easylife.org/fufme/

I get the distinct feeling that website might be very useful prior art in any forthcoming teledildonics patent cases. Also, the "box cover" art is amazing .

Fun fact: There are countries in the world that are not the US!

Sodomy - which I believe legally was essentially 'non vaginal sex' was illegal in Texas until 2003. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_v._Texas

And toys were contraband in Texas until 2008. You'd have to register as a sex offender if caught selling them.
