I've owned this domain name since 2002. It's actually one of very few domains left of my original domain name collection that survived the registerfly.com domain name scandal of 2006. That was a frustrating year. Imagine repetitively renewing domains for which charges were debited to your credit card, only to receive notice a few weeks later that those same domain names were expiring and either on the verge of redemption, or worse...inaccessible, expired...up for grabs. And grabbed they were. It was heartbreaking and exasperating. Payments were processed, yet later shown to be ineffective at renewing terms ...soon the domains, along with their respective websites, slipped away.
This happened repeatedly with no apparent recourse. Approximately 200,000 domain names with went into default due to neglicence imparted by registerfly.com, who had been stripped of Icaan accreditation, yet continued to accept payments on domains after they had lost their registrar status, thus their renewal and registration privileges. It was estimated that nearly a quarter of a million domain names were lost and forfeited.
It's been widely publicized that much of the revenue went toward co-owner Kevin Medina's liposuction and penchant for male escort services.
