 Did you know that some guy named Eric originaly owned the domain name buffy.com?. Then the WB managed to get ahold of it. Did the WB bully eric into handing over the domain name? or did they buy it off him. We'll probably never know. (My guess: Bullied)
Click Read More for the mirrored link of what the buffy.com page looked like before the WB took it over and some additional comments by me.
Continued....
By looking at the site, It seems he was only using the domain name to make money out of the high traffic the domain name would of got. It looks like he had no interest at all about in buffy.
If you look at the source code you can see that he totally lies about what the page is in the Meta Description. <"The largest Buffy The Vampire Slayer sight on the Net, with info on Buffy, Xander, Willow, Giles, Angel, Cordelia, The Bronze, The Master, Sarah Michelle Geller, and much more.">
Yeah right, it looks like the smallest buffy site on the net. I hope he made nothing out of it. Nothing! You suck eric!
He's the mirrored link to what erics buffy.com website looked like:
