Finally, the day has arrived. This site is now on the first page of search results for the word "darco". Now to climb my way all the way to the top of the list...

UPDATE: Slipped to page two! AARRGH!

    Yeah, you're really slipping. When you first posted you were 1st for the query "darc stump" and now you're only second, losing to a 590 quid bronze statue of Joan D' Arc leaning against a stump :).

    By the way, what happened to metalwings.org?

  3. astreaedge* Says:

    A frustrating story that. A simplified version goes something like this:

    The registrar that I initially registered with was bought out by another company and in the process all records of my purchase were lost. Since the domain was locked, I couldn't transfer it. Also I couldn't find the hardcopy of the purchase reciept that I would need to convince the new company that I was the valid owner of the domain.

    Of course, the punch line here is that I didn't know about the problem until about two days before expiration because I am paying more attention to school than micromanaging my domain. Without enough time to find the paperwork and convince the company, my only option was to backorder. Unfortunately, I was second in the backorder line to the domain clearing house eNom. Thus they got the name and all I got was elevated blood pressure.

    I've since registered a new domain, mizore.org, with Network Solutions (I figure they probably won't get bought out), but I haven't gotten around to updating the site to reflect the change. At least I don't have much of a following to worry about.

    so you're using the private fields for censorship eh? does that mean that you don't befriend children? come on man, i mean the kids have enough problems as it is these days. :-P

    I just generally try not to have curse words appear on the home page (ie: if I'm cursing outside of the teaser, I don't care), that's all. shrugs
