Webmail service opening for the @goatse.cx domain. The owner swears it is family friendly.

Admit it, its not something you anticipated happening in your lifetime: the ability to have a goatse.cx email address. This is your chance to own a piece of internet history and have an email address from Christmas island.

Some guy bought it for €8,000 and is turning it into a webmail service. He says it is family friendly.

Here are the details (Ars Technica).

What…kind of family??!

As amusing as it would be to have a goatse email, it’s not funny enough to be worth paying for.

Because it’s new, maybe you can try to sign up a bunch of popular usernames and try to sell them at a decent profit?

I have a feeling this will be fairly popular - the $5 per year is extremely reasonable, looks like you can incorporate it into Gmail easily. Thank god it isn’t using Squirrel Mail.

Yeah, that’s just nuts.
