I think it's their registrars doing, per their registrars docs it's still "recoverable" for 60 days or something after expiration date, but they can redirect DNS whenever they want |

Lemmings.world annou rd shutdown a few months ago, the time limit was whenever the domain expired, which was a few days ago and now their registrar is redirecting to some sort of ad revenue site during the recoverability period |

this happens with pretty much every domain that lapses. the domain is still out there, it doesn't go away, it just goes into a sort of "holding pattern" until someone decides to buy it again. and usually said holding pattern is some bullshit ad site to try and make a bit of money of a corpse. |

Do we have, like, a fundraiser? Can we still bring them back? |

I tried to talk with the admin to take things over, they gave me some initial info on the costs that they pay but then went silent. It also wasn't really a costs thing iirc, it was mostly burn out from dealing with tankies, trolls and bots (scammers, spammers and scrapers) on top of rising costs |

Ah, that makes sense. Bummer, though. I wonder if someone else can grab the domain and rebuild once it expires? |
