Have you ever been constantly typing in loads of names in whois.is then it pop up and ask for you to verify text on the screen?..

I've had this happen to me 3 times, and every word I have to type in to verify was "Adult" related..

Wondered if they did this purposely?

Hi, there is no mistaking the words for any other use then the "Adult" definition.

It sounds like it is in place to prevent underage kids from using it.

Yes, it will happen if you do too many searches in a short period of time.

The nature of the domain is irrelevant.

I think you mis-understood. It's not if I type in an adult name it makes me verify... if I type in too many regular names it makes me verify... but the word im having to verify is an adult term. (This happened 3 straight times).

interesting :-)
I always loved the "bugs" that makes you wonder - see this for an example:
http://whois.sc/adidas.com -notice anything extraordinary?humm, yes, the .net is free to reg:-)
And the "Simliar" typo in the footer is there since the beginnings...
