The above URL is run by one or two guys around here. And, it absolutely sucks, and is pretty embarassing. I'm actuall embarassed for them to have their name attached to it. They also put out a newspaper called "The Wilton Report", which is actually something I enjoy getting. Aside from their "computer" article they write themselves, it's a nice little paper with ads and some local happenings. And, they say to go to the above URL. And, that's the crap people see when they do.
Anyways, over the past 2 years I've emailed them 3 or 4 times. Each time, asking if they plan to do anything with the site. Anything. Even a blank page would be better. Each time I say I'd happily take the domain over, or just help them make it a better site which is useful for the community. Never a response.
So, why don't I just buy a simiar domain and make it what I think it should be? Well, I don't have a newspaper which promotes the URL already. It'd be more useful to use the URL which people around town may already know.
I hope at some point they respond, or I run into them on the streets so they can't just ignore me as easily as they can an email. They need to not be so lazy about it, and do something with it. It's just silly that they don't.
