That was about it.

Mark was offered the domain name markmccall.com by someone. While he was
considering the offer, we found that it was back on the unallocated list
so we registered it secretly, with the knowledge of a select few, and
pointed the DNS to a suitable porn website. The game was over pretty
quickly when he looked at the Whois details.

That is one of the reasons why we wanted to do it properly with completely
separate DNS servers just for the purpose, on a domain name that is not
obvious to be associated with us. Unfortunately, the initial DNS server of
tmchosting alerted him early in the game and we were busted.
