The post in which I bid farewell to my stolen URL

Well, it looks like I am a victim of both an opportunist and my own laziness. I always assumed my lack of attention would result in some sort of loss-of-limb, but I didn’t figure that it would result in a loss of my vanity URL.

So, all of my efforts to brand RagingDad DOT net have been flushed by my failure to renew my registration. It turns out is wasn’t because someone saw my admission of lazy bloggery on Avitable’s post. In fact, this creep registered my URL on the very day it expired in late June.

How do they know about this? Does someone publish a daily list of vulnerable URLs? What shit. And why doesn’t WordPress automatically renew, or at least contact a blogger more than once to advise that renewal is necessary?

Enough of blaming others. Those asshats can have the URL. Good luck selling penis enlargement products and weight loss supplements. The joke is kind of on them anyway, since it is a dot net address.

Have at it, you opportunist prick.
