JUST ADDED to http://IPalert.com btw: Yahoo and MSN and Archive.org for all expiring domains!!!!

Stampede!!!!!!!!!
In reference to DMOZ, the domain remains flagged & if the new owner of the domain has kept with the same theme, it's up to the editor to keep, delete or move it into pending for another category (if not entirely the same).

Also depends on how often the editor goes to check on it. Just FYI.
