I don't even have a weird TLD. I've been using my domain 3e.org since 1996, and still to this day I get rejected by regexes that assume a domain name must start with [a-z].

OK that's the shortest privately-owned domain I've ever seen. Jealous!

A buddy of mine has 'ix.io' but .org is oldschool-er :)

How do you lose a domain name?

The registrar didn't send me a reminder to renew the domain.

Lesson learned: If a domain is important to you, set up your own reminder to renew.
