256b.com down?
category: general [glöplog]
i even thought it was 1 year
http://256b.com/ is funny now.
Afaik expired domains is up for sale which means automated rbn bots buys them and displays stupid ads and malware on them. Different registrars might have other policies around this though but I'll doubt there is any standard. I have heard about people who have been asked for quite a large sum of money to register reclaim expired domains (retrohackers for instance, perhaps someone can fill me in on that issue).
256b.com currently points to f9.ba.5446.static.theplanet.com o_O

I suggest to screw that domain. It was nice indeed, but no one should never ever pay domain hijackers a peny. www.256intro.com, www.intro256.com, www.intro256b.com are free, www.256byte.com, www.256bytes.com are already hijacked by advertisment morons...
what about www.256b.tv? Would be cool :)
yeah, or perhaps 256octets.com? :)
Screwing the domain sounds fine with me. I'm wondering if it should feature "256" or "256b". Ok, the site was mainly about 256b intros but it included all kind of demoscene productions around and under 256 bytes.
