Gosh that sounds so good Nathan.

Unfortunately, as of right this minute, 10/1 at 2:20PM EDT, these porn
domain forgers are back on the Tonga site and spamming away again
forging our domain name into their spams.

Something is very, very wrong with the Tongan domain and its
management. They're not removing criminal domain-hijacking spammers,
they're just letting them change their name as far as I can tell.
