This happened to a friend of mine who had a technical site for his compnay. A squatter waited for his registration to expire, had a bid waiting, then loaded it with porn and told him it would be $1,000 to get it back.
Fortunately, he was a stubborn Scot. The porn is still sitting on his old site, and it can rot there till Hell freezes over.
From what I could find out; the reason some of the pages come down so fast is that when you access a page they put into your computer a html file for the next page. It probably goes into temp internet files. That way when you click for the page it doesn't have to get it from the server it is already in your computer.
When you consider as a group they are getting more traffic than anyone else, and still deliver the pages there is something to be learned there for any website webmaster.

Seriously... What idiot would buy something from someone who will not let you know who they are, will not let you contact them by return e-mail, forges their identity to try to make you think you know them, and, if you have the know-how to see where the SPAM came from, normally sends their advertisements from Brazil, Asia, the Carribean or some other place where laws have no meaning. People buying from scum like this must be total idiots!!!
I don't know Mr. Pardek! Talk to the folks that get inundated :~D
I sortof think it is like something I heard about a sexually transmitted disease... - They said "We have pretty much isolated this as an STD. Of course, there are always a one or two nuns and preacher's wives that get it "innocently" somehow, and we just nod politely and smile", and we leave it at 99% just for them. ;~D
I have never once gotten a pornographic email.
If you had MSN you would get plenty.
I have a bigger problem with "funny" attachments sent by friends- much of the stuff isn't even humorous, but merely witless scatology. Having survived two elbow-bending years during Bennett House's (ISU) glory days, I once thought I had seen/heard enough "great moments in obscenity" to render me impervious to most anything.
Alas, I was unprepared for the internet.
It is free and does a good job. Allows you to see the mail in the box before you get it. Then you have the options of bouncing it back, deleting it, or banning the sender or any combination of those three or just leaving the options alone.
Then you can hit another button and bring down the mail to the computer.- Tom
And if you don't regularly get W32 Klez viruses sent to you, I have to conclude you lead a very conservative internet life. - Tom
Which of the following are porn sites: www.atilla.com
www.atillathehun.com
www.mature.com
www.sanfransisco.com
www.whitehouse.com
www.mature.com
www.carpet.com
www.thehun.com
You can't tell by the URL. I accidently hit one of these sites and work and couldn't stop the windows from popping up. I finally unplugged the PC. My boss was out of the office. I met her at the door to tell her what had happened. But someone could get into real trouble that way.
Either they're emailing Mars, or they've found away to email the future.
Could someone email me the winning lotto numbers for next week, please? Thanks.
Lots of fun to think about, huh?
Patently untrue.
And I should know :)
