So I just found out 2 days ago that the .net version of this website got taken over. Yes, I let the domain name expire and shame on me :(

Regardless of what I did or didn’t do, the thing that bothers me the most is that some person from out of nowhere decided that they would take years worth of love and care I put into a project, take my name and turn it into something ugly.

I’m not talking literally here, they’re just here to make money so there are links all over the fucking place on that site.

But you know, the spirit of the site was there. It was attached to the name. It was MY name.

And it’s gone.

So I bought the name again, with the .org you see now. Not the same, but I’m hoping just as good. I keep typing in the .net version because I was so comfortable and familiar with it, and suddenly there’s something someone spent 2 minutes on, just to grab the most search hits and ad revenue.

It makes me sad.
