I recently took over as webmaster for a small local charity, basic website, some backend things to sort, no big deal.

But they're on a .net and I asked why? A previous webmaster let their domain lapse 10 FUCKING YEARS AGO, and one of those squatters grabbed it and has been holding it ever since. They wanted like $10k to give it back so these people just made a .net

It's fucking ridiculous. I set a timer to try and grab it next time it expires, but I'm assuming they have their renewals automated.
