[Hidden-tech] domain expiration issues

[Ira Bryck]

Here’s my story of domain expiration:

I had a website for a project (about family businesses that manufacture in the US) that I was done with, and let it lapse, with Go Daddy- then I see it up and running, using a chopped up bunch of my data, but also selling dog food (not kidding).

I contacted the new owner, hoping to have a reasonable discussion, and find out why madeinusabyfamilybusiness.com was a good URL for his product, and try to talk him out of it, but at least stop using my content in some weird way.

His response: “Go fuck yourself, asshole”

I replied that there was no need for his anger and obscenity, I am the aggrieved party, not him; and all I want is to have an adult conversation. He calmed down, and in much more professional and restrained language, told me to go fuck myself.

I haven’t looked at it for a while, until 5 minutes ago- and see that it is now “parked for free, courtesy of go daddy” whatever that means.

Next time I let a url go I need to wipe it clean first. But I guess the person could go to wayback machine and repost the content.
