The instructions read “Your domain will disappear forever in 3 days.” Does that mean that in three days, not only will https://forever.tusk.page/ https://forever.tusk.page/ be inaccessible, but nobody will ‘ever’ be able to recreate the same domain?
- tedmiston 6y agoTheir About page suggests that it's just that the data will be deleted.
- kseistrup 6y agoThanks, I hadn't read the About page. »After 3 days, all data for the domain (domain name, description, feedback posts) is hard deleted forever.« A domain name that is “hard deleted” can't resurface, can it?
- n_david 6y agoThe domain names can be reused. 3 days after the domain names are created, both the domain name and the feedback comments are hard deleted. Since it is a hard delete, there's nothing that stops the domain name from being reused again. I thought about this a bit and I can see this being confusing and possibly dangerous though. For example if somebody shares a domain they created, and 3 days later somebody visits the domain but it's a totally different domain. Thanks for pointing this out! I will think about some ways to solve this.
- kseistrup 6y agoThanks for the explanation. Perhaps a quarantine period — say, 1 year — will work, the same way e.g. phonenumbers are recycled?
