Well, at least their new domain name isn't adult

<Apologies if this ancient article was already posted>

"We found out about a month ago that the site looked a lot different than it used to," says Jerry McFaul, a U.S. Geological Survey employee and founder of SIGCAT. Renewing the domain name "fell through the cracks. We had a Webmaster in one state, an ISP in another state, and we were here in Virginia. Each of us thought the other was covering the renewal."

McFaul says he contacted Domains For Sale and was told he could buy back the domain name but "not to bid anything under $1000." Because the group is nonprofit, he decided not to spend the money. Instead, SIGCAT is evolving into a new organization, the DVD Association, with a new Web site: www.dvda.org.

Of course, I have mixed emotions about this practice...
One side of me says it gives the industry a black eye by shoving porn in the face of people who don't want to see it and don't expect to see it.

The other side says tough shit. If you let your domain name expire, it's not yours and no one can steal it. Last I knew, buying abandoned property wasn't a crime.
