There was another classic from that era, powergenitalia.com, which purported to be the Italian division of Powergen, has now disappeared and apparently was a prank. Interestingly, some of the early captures of it seem to be another company, so maybe it was just an early attempt at SEO and they might have removed it due to the risk of being sued for trademark infringement: https://web.archive.org/web/20040830080331/http://powergenit...


I was once linked fagasstraps.com on an IRC channel and I expected something else.


I still chuckle at the expertsexchange.com -> experts-exchange.com migration.
