Domains up for grabs

Spotted this on the BBC news site:

Jumble sale for internet dreams
By Mark Ward
BBC News Online technology correspondent
Want to pick up a weird domain name cheap? This could be your chance, as open season is declared on other people's abandoned dreams of internet glory.
If you ever wanted a guide to the folly of many people's dot.com dreams then look no further than the Deleted Domains website.
This site lets you search through the millions of domain names that people have abandoned because they have now realised that there is no chance it will make their fortune.
At the time of writing Deleted Domains had on file 16,139,249 deleted domain names.
etc etc etc

The link is www.deleteddomains.com/

So, for example, if you wanted a new name for your Buffy fansite, the following are now up for grabs again, having once been registered:
buffy-and-angel.com (DELETED on 08-02-02)
buffyforums.com (DELETED on 07-21-02)
buffysummers.com (DELETED on 07-11-02)
mybuffypage.com (DELETED on 06-13-02)
and (for our Dutch members)
buffy-nl.org (DELETED on 06-13-02)

And a few that might appeal to some of our members here:
sickandtwistedspike.com (DELETED on 06-28-02)
mightypegasus.com (on hold since 06-20-02)
boardwhistler.com (DELETED on 07-30-02)

Stoo There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

Miss Edith People don't fall in love with what's right in front of them. People want the dream -- what they can't have. The more unattainable, the more attractive. --Xander

Aeryn Six pints of bitter. And quickly please, the world's about to end.

There's aerynet.com or taeryn.com. Or maybe farscapecommand.com

Yally Don't kill anyone until we get back to you!

Well....none really for me....

I guess at first glance www.safetyally.com is yallylike.

I guess this is why the internet appears to be shrinking. You used to be able to type in pretty much anything and a page would come up (usually porn, but still...). Now it either doesn't work or you end up with some search engine that uses a lot of names. Ah well...
