I don't get it. Their web site is there.

Nope. That's somebody squatting on their domain.

THAT'S WILSON COMBAT'S HOMEPAGE?!?!?

That sucks!

Kevin - are you using Noscript? With scripting turned off, the Wilson site looks like something a squatter would put up. With scripting on, it looks like a spiffy commercial site.
I think this is a case of not degrading gracefully when scripting is blocked.

It looks right to me.

Note, sometimes things can happen even if you're supposed to be making automated payments to retain a domain name. I lost the alternate domain name for my blog to a squatter because something got screwed up. He wanted $675 to let me have it back. Not gonna happen, jerk!

FYI, this post prompted me to check on the status of my stolen domain. It seems the squatter figured out that I was NOT going to pay him (maybe my "BIG FAT NO!" message gave him a clue) and he released it. I now have it back.

Well then at least this post did someone some good!
