a domain points to the ip address of the server.
eg
www.hanksmith.net
points to the ip address that hosts my website.
a domain allows one to type in a address instead of a bunch of numbers.
thats just a simple explanation of a domain.

Hi all, when you talk about the domain, what does that mean in webvisum's case? 
I don't understand.

Ah okay.
If it is indeed gone, or even if not, perhaps the focus will shift back or with 
greater force int he direction of getting rid of captchas again. they provide 
so little security and are a barrier for many not just those experiencing sight 
loss that rewarding  web developers by not pointing this out simply strands 
lots of people.  That seems o be the case  for those using this program.
Is It possible the functionality will be built so well into firefox  that the 
plug might not be needed?

It was an extension for the Firefox web browser that allowed blind folks to 
sign up and have the captchas solved. Recently, Firefox has been testing and 
developing with VO accessibility and nightly builds, and was usable for the 
purpose of solving captchas.

may I ask what this service did exactly?  also,on another list someone simply 
indicated that  an expired domain does not mean it is gone, just that the 
domain has expired.
Sorry to be out of the loop, but I had never heard of this site until all the 
questions.

It hasn't been pirated, has it? Just asking, because I volunteer for 
readassist.org, which had to be reclaimed recently.
