MacSlash Up at macslash.org 26
M. Uli Kusterer writes "After the recent problems with its .com domain expiring and the notice from dotster being eaten by mac.com's over-eager spam filter, MacSlash now has registered the www.macslash.org domain. So, tell your friends and surf over there again :-)" It came back up for me over the weekend. Read of the events that led up to this. The short of it: mac.com, without MacSlash's knowledge, filtered as spam their domain renewal notice, and someone swiped the domain when it expired.

Why the heck shouldn't he mention where MacSlash has been relocated? A site that talks about Apple isn't close enough to "Apple" to be mentioned? Why does the subject matter have to be strictly the Mac platform and nothing in the periphery?
Get over it!

Pointing fingers at them for malfeasance is a bit of an overreaction. These guys have been providing a service to the Mac community, and IMO, thanking them is more appropriate. And what about the individual that acquired the macslash.com domain? His/her actions are akin to keeping the wallet they found even though the rightful owners' address is in it.
