After having it pirated and held ransom for 5 years plus I had kinda given up getting it back.  Basically, back in 2002 or 2003 the company who was taking care of my domain just up and let it go on me.  I had no idea it expired and they never told me.  With a little research I discovered the domain was purchased within hours of it going public again.  They even contacted me a few days later offering it back to me for over $10,000.  I told them to piss off and enjoy the domain.  To this day, I still think that the domain company was in bed with the pirates.

Flash forward to 2008.

On a lark, while researching domains for other things, I popped in mine just to see if the pirates had sold it.  Low and behold, it was free again.  I snatched it back up and here we are.

Hopefully, with the help of a few friends, I should be up and running by the end of May.
