I think it was one of the first goatse links ever on Slashdot that caught me... then the trolls seemed to take a break for a while, and a few months later I was suckered in again :where's-the-I-hit-the-back-button-faster-than-had-ever-previously-been-thought-possible-smiley
It originated at the domain goatse.cx - .cx is Christmas Island's Top Level Domain (TLD), and like so many tiny nations who were allocated a TLD in the mid-to-late 90s, they farmed out the management thereof to a US company who just took the money and passed some of it along to them (Tuvalu, with the ".tv" TLD, did the same, and I believe Channel Five's website is still at five.tv).
The original goatse.cx site was live for about a year before whoever governs Christmas Island realised what a bad name it was getting them, and had it shut down - IIRC it was mildly tricky because the US management company had to be convinced that the First Amendment to the US constitution didn't actually apply to the whole World Wide Web, just the bits of it that were US - the problem being that although the site was on the Christmas Island domain, all sites on .cx were actually hosted in the USLast edited by NickFitz; 5 April 2008, 02:39. Reason: "US", not "American" - there's more to America than the USComment
