Now I just noticed the domain name's last updated date is October 20, 2006. I
looked it up at VeriSign and it says the same.
I also tried checking it via the registrar's WHOIS in case it might be different. I
got a 404, unless someone can directly query their WHOIS server.
Also, its status isn't on REGISTRAR-HOLD or similar. Typically it's on hold if it's
involved in a legal dispute, but it's still showing locked and so on.
Anyway, we'll probably know more in the next couple of days what's going on.
