I just checked errorcom.com again today to see if anything had changed
and saw that it now features the rte.ie homepage! WTF is going on. A
quick look at the whois and dns didn't reveal too much except the whois
data now points to a completely different e-mail address and someone in
New York (while I am sure it pointed to an Irish person previously).
The record was updated on Wednesday, I wonder if it has been sold! I
still have the original holders e-mail address so I think I'll just have
to see what he has to say.
Luckily some of the mirrors of the original site are still intact:
http://www.skynet.ie/~lobo/errorcom.htm
What has happened to the others like:
http://www.crapdomain.net/errorcom
and I can't even track down the other mirrors in the archive or my mailbox!
My broken one is still sitting at www.censorthis.net (don't bother, the
enter button is broken and banners appear).
Seems like errorcom are on the rampage!
Will anyone in Dublin agree to give me £5 for a T-Shirt with the
homepage grabbed by the balls on the front and the super rat flipping
the bird on the back? I think I'll just have to do some very soon,
maybe we can even arrange a visit to the ODTR!!!
Can anyone suggest a mirror/domain that is NOT going to be attacked by
errorcom that therefore can be mentioned on the T-shirt?
