ilovephysics.com a Porn Site?!

It almost happened due to an oversight.

Our domain name expired for several hours the other day. Thankfully, GoDaddy.com holds expired domain names for several days before releasing them for sale to the public. I was able to re-register the domain for another 5 years and the site only went down for about 8 hours or so.

Due to the high traffic this domain receives there is no doubt it would have been snatched up by domain buying robots. The domain could have been redirected to an ad site, a porn site, or sold for a few thousand dollars.

Thanks to Martin for immediately alerting me about the problem.
