It looks fine to me? What are you talking about?
Okay this is weird. It is a blank page with "Domain not active." on it.

#32This is exactly why we created a domain name/ssl reminder tool: http://www.expirify.com . A really easy mistake to make and very costly, I hope they get it back
It looks like the service is free. How do you make money on the site?

You could be somewhat sinister and register domains that have been submitted but not renewed and offer to transfer them back for a fee.

Looks like Fosshub has it: http://www.fosshub.com/GIMP.html (to anyone who knows this: it looks to me like fosshub wants to be the anti-sourceforge, the new home for binary opensource downloads, and that they're non-evil. is this true?)
It seems legitimate, and I agree with their stance (if not their tone) in the "Controversy" section of their FAQ. I'd love to see them put out a tool similar to Ninite, though I don't know if they have the resources to allocate for that.
Thank you for the confidence! We can assure you that our intentions are "good". As for the Ninite suggestion, unfortunately (since FossHub is NOT after the money) we don't have the financial resources to add such a tool. Maybe later. Thanks again!

#36When I go there now, I see the same site that's been there for a while: https://web.archive.org/web/*/gimp.org So maybe it was returned to its owner?
Or maybe you are using the old IP from your DNS cache?
I don't understand registrars that don't alert you to the fact that it is going to expire. I have that registrar that everyone loves to hate and they are damn good at reminding me when to renew and not annoying me in between such times.
(as in, I have godaddy)

#37Question: Alternative download links for Mac and Windows? (No Sourcforge)

Yes we do have the GIMP binaries as we took them directly from GIMP.org - the official homepage. The files are 100% clean, feel free to download them. Thank you!

#38We should stop using the domain name system to name web pages and email addresses. It is too vulnerable to legal attacks, extralegal attacks, and simple human error.
There are a bunch of decentralized possibilities out there: IPFS, Tahoe-LAFS, MaidSafe, and so on. None of them are ready yet, except (for some purposes) FreeNet and Tor Onion Services, and it's going to be a lot of work to get them to work, and probably some of them are simply unworkable. But this is a really, really important problem to solve, and it's solvable.

Just a heads up, your DNS took a long time to resolve for me. You appear to have an invalid nameserver (ns3.gridhost.co.uk) listed at the root.

If you only offer it to the original owner and the fee isn't particularly exorbitant, say $10 - $100, it might not even be sinister. Wouldn't you rather pay the slightly inflated renewal than deal with someone who's asking 5 - 6 digits?
