And here's our reply: (disclaimer: I'm the social media manager at Namecheap and a huge fan of Imgur)
We were in contact with imgur about a matter regarding child pornography for which we are unable to provide additional details. We sent six emails requesting that they get in touch. Since they did not respond to us, this resulted in us temporarily disabling the domain, though we should have made additional measures to get in touch, and for that, we apologize, and our CEO is also monitoring this matter closely. At Namecheap, it is critical that you always keep your whois information current and ensure that the emails on file are email addresses you check regularly. Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience but are happy to hear that everything is back in order.
- RKearney 14y agoHave you used this before? http://imgur.com/removalrequest http://imgur.com/removalrequest I've used it and images were deleted within hours. But the bigger question at hand is why does Namecheap feel like they can change the nameservers of domains based on the content of said page? The content on the page is in no way hosted on any of Namecheaps systems. Not even a DNS query for imgur.com hits Namecheaps servers. What's next, Namecheap starts taking down domain names that blog about things they don't agree with? Where does it end?
