an ol' buddy of mine has always claimed to have owned apple.com back in those days but he said they just took it from him one day. He would have been pretty young then, like 10 (and, yeah, that sounds right for him). Maybe he lost it because they started charging! haha.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoA former colleague (who I don't know personally, but I worked with people who did) owned sex.com for a while. Even if the stories I've heard about what it was like to own that domain were exaggerated, it was pretty insane the lengths that people would go to in order to get a domain. Basically another gold rush, but with marginally less violence against those who squatted a claim.
- kingcharles 5y agosex.com was registered really early on. I remember registering 5ex.com in the mid90s as a runner-up prize. Funny enough, dotcoms weren't as prized in the early 90s as they are now. All the c00l kids on the Internet had dotnets, so my first domain registration was eschaton.net.
