How is it already a scam site???

[-] rozodru@piefed.world 5 points 4 hours ago

this happens with pretty much every domain that lapses. the domain is still out there, it doesn't go away, it just goes into a sort of "holding pattern" until someone decides to buy it again. and usually said holding pattern is some bullshit ad site to try and make a bit of money of a corpse.

I think it's their registrars doing, per their registrars docs it's still "recoverable" for 60 days or something after expiration date, but they can redirect DNS whenever they want

Do we have, like, a fundraiser? Can we still bring them back?
