#13When I got online in 1996-1997 there was some website that played with font sizing and graphics to make the biggest Fuck on the internet. Like it would take a couple minutes to scroll on an old 640x480 monitor. Good times lol.

#14I was trying to register this too in 1994. I guess it was a race between several of us to register stupid domains. I was also bending their ears to get them to let me register the remaining single-character dotcoms. It is heartwarming to see the Internic form on that page - you used to type up the text file and email it to them and wait. You could have pretty much any domain you wanted in 1994. Except fuck.com. Also,…
Amazing how quickly it transitioned to a more mainstream web. We had internet at home in 1995-96 and I registered my first domain in 1997 - by that time domains and DNS worked pretty much like today.

iirc the hosts file was the primary DNS at the time, and would sync every 24 hours from a master hosts file online. Thus not needing TLDs to resolve hostnames.

The "Refuse to Pay!" link 404s, but is present in the Wayback Machine, and is an amusing read:

#17Well it resolves to something now. I guess they relaxed their policy.
While this other policy got worse...?

#18I see that diarrhea.com is still owned by P&G.

Likewise! It was like having a secret code, or treasure map, and this data was much coveted among local young hackers.

While this would work, Internic would need to share the same HOSTS file. I don't remember a global shared HOSTS like that.
When Windows 95 came out I created an online shared cdplayer.ini where everyone added their own track info and we intended to create a file that had info for every CD in the world (this was before CDDB was invented). Sadly the project self-destructed because W95 had a hard 64Kb limit on .ini files.
