I recall you saying that you planned to let them expire, so I wasn't really surprised that they were gone--just surprised that they were picked up again so quickly. Besides, with BladeVault gone now I get all your great content! :-) Happy birthday, dude!

Besides, with BladeVault gone now I get all your great content! :-)

They are (were) registered through GoDaddy so it doesn't surprise me that they snagged it for themselves to get some additional ad revenue. I have been off line most of the day celebrating my birthday with my family. I didn't even know it was gone until I saw this post! :) To make a very long story very short.... I didn't want to deal with the admin hassle of a site and the contract was up for the site and the domain. I really didn't want to spend the money to renew it.

It's just funny how quickly the domain snipers work.

It may be worth Aaron pinging his registrar to get the old domains back. ICANN has a 30 day redemption grace period put in place to deal with domain sniping (what just occurred).
