I own my old ISP's domain. less than twenty email addresses active. Everything else is rejected. I ran it for a week with a catch all bucket and I can tell you now many of those people should be thankful I have and not some unscrupulous scammer. Things like cellphone, social media and medical records accounts all still linked to a ISP domain that has been dead for nearly a decade. The place where I host it sent me a email recently and asked me what had happened to that domain. The user websites are still regularly queried and I've considered doing a goatse or tubgirl on all the linked images. Fortunately I'm not in my twenties anymore and decided not to share the chaos.
Do it for nostalgia, relive your 20s by screwing over a defunct ISP with a gaping asshole, isp's want to act like one.
Spread the chaos! It's the only way that people will learn!
