Be careful when using "example" URLs.

I had an email today from a company whose site name was listed here, not as a scam but as an example of what a scam website name could look like. As it happens, it wasn't a post we'd made. Not long after we started we were asked by another site if they could post up a bunch of threads here as they were closing down and didn't want the information to go to waste. Thankfully the site was cool about it and I deleted the reference right away. I've done something like this in the past for the books I've written, but before using it I made sure no one else owned it, then bought the domain myself. That way I knew there'd never be a problem. I guess not everyone is as forward thinking as I am....
