It's kind of weird that we don't have a article, section, anything on the "domain name goldrush" of the late 1990s to early 2000s, when companies realized it was important to get domain names that pertained to their intellectual property (and various individuals tried to beat them to it and hold the domains for ransom, or just buy up in quantity any domains that sounded interesting like "satan.com", etc.). It's an interesting little era in Internet history, but will probably require research in period media (early Wired magazine issues, etc., etc.). — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 14:19, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
