Greyhawk, thanks for posting this. I went and checked my old blogspot site's URL, and sure enough somebody had set up shop there to sell ringtones and screensavers. Just so everyone knows, Eric's Random Musings (http://cowperthwaite.blogspot.com/ - don't follow this link) moved in its entirety to Eric's Grumbles.

It's common practice for spammers/spamvertisers to snatch up URLs that go dark in order to access the userbase of that site.
No reason to think the blogs were being targetted, except as part of the larger business of spam.
Fair warning to anyone who has ever registered a domain - if you want to maintain the integrity of the name, don't ever allow the registration to expire. (Network Solutions offers a 99-year registration scheme...)
