Re: Strange PicoLisp site
someone registered that domain for PicoLisp, then did not renew the fee. When it was expired, the domain was snatched (like most expired domains are) by one of these companies which do nothing else but buy expired domains and resell them. The boilerplate text is just random junk to keep the page in google's index, to keep the value of the domain up a tiny little bit. --jakob On October 27, 2014 at 9:49 AM Thorsten Jolitz tjol...@gmail.com wrote: Hi List, have you seen this website: , | http://www.picolisp.org/ ` Its a nice looking website, but I cannot see no connection to PicoLisp whatsover.

I see ... but I must say that the 'random junk' looks pretty good, with a different title like 'PoetsClub' or so it would make a nice webpage.

Yes, javuchi messed it up somehow, but it may not be only his fault. It seems to be possible that domains are stolen during transfers even if all fees were properly handled. We had this once with with software-lab.org, which we hosted at Strato (strato.de), and which was stolen during a transfer many years ago. I did not mean to put blame on anyone, except perhaps myself. I had forgot how it played out in detail. Anyway, there are ways to transfer the domain ownership without risking losing it. One of the best is to use the same DNS registrar for both the old and new owners. https://support.loopia.com/wiki/How_do_I_change_the_owner_of_my_domain_names%3F --jakob -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
