Hah, that's great. I shouldn't have been surprised that it exists. My question is: did you register that or is there a bot out there registering domains that appear in comments?

Whoa. To me, this looks like domain squatters.

The whois info:

   Domain Name: ISISTUMBLERDOWNDOWN.COM
   Registrar: HEBEI GUOJI MAOYI (SHANGHAI) LTD DBA HEBEIDOMAINS.COM
   Whois Server: whois.hebeidomains.com
   Referral URL: http://www.hebeidomains.com
   Name Server: NS1.LOCALHOSTY.COM
   Name Server: NS2.LOCALHOSTY.COM
   Status: ok
   Updated Date: 30-aug-2013
   Creation Date: 30-aug-2013
   Expiration Date: 30-aug-2014

And the IP resolves to:

  NetRange:       69.43.128.0 - 69.43.207.255
  CIDR:           69.43.192.0/20, 69.43.128.0/18
  NetName:        ARIN-CASTLE-ALLOC
  Ref:            http://whois.arin.net/rest/net/NET-69-43-128-0-1
  OrgName:        Castle Access Inc
  Address:        9606 Aero Drive
  City:           San Diego
  StateProv:      CA

And some of this traces back to trellian.com, "SEO and Website Marketing Solutions."

No, I didn't register it. Actually, it was still available when I posted that comment.
