That's a neat idea. Looks like someone beat me to it though: https://www.namecheap.com/domains/whois/results.aspx?domain=...

I've reached out to them to try and see whether they want help.

[UPDATE: they're benevolent and I'll be working with them on this. Cheers]

If they are benevolent, and not going to serve spam or malware over those badges.

Well, if they are not benevolent, at least there will be a strong motivation to finally solve those broken badges then. ;)

I must say this made my day... It's one of those occurences when one uses many many many hours for a project that in the end could be solvable by a small amount of money ($10) and a few e-mails. Must admit I didn't think of it either when I was reading the blog post. :)

Nice! Curious to see how this works out.
