I was just toying around on Google today and discovered that a .info domain I caught on a drop a couple of months ago was used as a muslim extremist site. In fact, the links are still there. :shocked:

and I was wondering where all that type-in traffic was coming from... geesh, gotta be careful. :shocked:

It was caught at .INFO Land Rush and wasn't part of my targeted names, cap. I don't monitor things outside my radar. In my radar, I track for years :-D. I happened to see it at Pool days before it dropped and decided this abandoned child had a place in my family, so I grabbed it for $60.

If one likes a domain name and doesnt hav the time to check at archives, then it is bound to happen. When I can, I check, but on at least one occasion that I know of, I apprently caught a domain that was used by government 'employees' to test out and discuss encryption technology... and it was an ORG!!!

Of course in arhchives, you can only see the sie, no internal links work as to see what the discussion was about, just the number of years it was on and the various headline exchanges...
Very scary...

P.S.
I also had caught another ORG that I found out days later that it belonged to some demon worshippers. Specificaly, it was demonic and not satanist according to them, whatever that means. The name of course has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject...
