12 years ago I had a random idea for a restaurant menu app. As was the custom, I threw together a basic landing page with a mockup and an email field. Got featured in a couple of publications that didn’t do their research properly and got a couple of hundred signups, which I never did anything with.

I mostly forgot about it since, but kept the URL live out of nostalgia. This morning I got a GoDaddy email saying it was up for renewal. I went to the URL and… it now links to a page selling viagra?

How is that possible? I think domain was pointed at a MediaTemple hosted page… and presumably GoDaddy doesn’t let just anyone log into my account and redirect it?
