    That's what happens when you don't keep the rights to an address, someone else grabs it, sad to see that.

    I wonder where it would be now if Freiburger had keep with it given the online content today, I think he was ahead of it all...

        Not sure how I feel about this. Couldn't read a word of it.

                I'm not sure what you mean by "sold out"... Really nothing new to see here. The name hasn't belonged "to the family" for years and years.. probably 2010 or so when DF went back to HRM.

                  I'm pretty sure we were able to view the old forum on the carjunkie URL not too long ago....

                    how is abandonment selling out? pretty sure none of the Freiburger minions are profiting from this.... (and to be clear, minions are cool).

                      If I remember correctly, the investors owned the name and domain, not Freiburger.

                        The name license runs out if you don't renew "ownership" of it. You purchase however many years at a time. You can transfer ownership if you want to, somebody tried to buy my website's name from me for $50 one time.

                        The content sits on a server somewhere. I rented server space from the same outfit that secured my name license for me but a friend of mine had a little website and he had his own server humming in his basement. He's a top end systems computer guy and knew how to set up the domain and all of that.

                        I let my site's name license run out out and now GoDaddy has the name up for sale. So the name is only a license. Does anybody remember when the internet was just starting out and some forward thinking "investors" bought up lots of dot com names they knew would be valuable and held them for huge ransom? Like NFL.com, etc... A judge decided that was unethical enough to be illegal.

                          to sell out, one must sell... the rest was just tongue in cheek

                          I've had the same thing for my office web name... and t was the same thing, like $50 or $100 offer... so let me get this straight, you want me to change my letterhead, change my customer's habits, and change my advertising for $100? uh, let me think, that would be a full no.

                            There was no sell out, Dropcatch sniped the domain before/when it expired. They're expiring/expired domain snipers..
                            The page you see is a parking page to keep the search bots happy. The domain is up for renewal again in March of 2021.
                            Dropcatch has backorder lists, and auctions off domains, but the value of the domains are usually massively over-inflated.

                              it's like gambling, they bet that whoever had it will want it back - so they pay the fees and away they go.
