    I’ve had that happen to some URLs I own before. Basically, they forgot to renew. Normally you get a grace period but some sketchy domain admins take the lapse as an opportunity to auction off what was originally a worthless address now that it has value.

        I am willing to bet that the contact person is either gone or not checking email. It wouldn’t surprise me if they lost access to the portal.

        Ironic that it’s capitalism that’s going to take down Hexbear.
