VO-BB - 19 YEARS OLD!

[DaveChristi]

Another of life's lessons came my way this morning when I groggily sat down at the computer and pulled up a "Parked Domain" page where my website once was.

Those bast… um (sorry Czar)… bad people. How could they let my domain expire without first sending me a barrage of e-mails warning me that davechristi.com was up for renewal?

I had a cup of coffee, called 24-hour customer support, paid for the next couple years, and then asked Denise (nicely) why I wouldn’t have been warned about this. She assured me that company policy is to send out e-mails several times before a domain name expires to give the registrant plenty of time to renew.

She then suggested I go through my spam filter. Sure enough, there, amidst the mortgage offers and “enlargement pill” e-mails, were a couple notices about my domain expiring - “better renew soon”. Also in my spam filter was a nice e-card for my birthday from a friend of mine and a “thinking of you” e-mail from my wife from a week ago (“no subject” must trigger the filter).

Who knows how many other nice things I’ve blindly deleted without reading?

Occasional, well-placed profanity is allowed.
Of course, clever, well-thought-out vocabulary choices are preferred since we are all brilliant people here at the VO-BB.

Punctuation in place of profanity is acceptable and so are the accepted net-ish "swears":
biatch
bastiges
fark, frack, freak

but even these are nearly instantly tiresome.

What are never allowed are ad hominem (and as I like to add ad feminem) attacks. What constitutes an "attack" is completely the juristdiction of me, The Board Czar, with the occasional assistance of The VO-BB Editorial Board.
