Hey! What's up with this?!?

Andy "Waxy" Baio writes over on Waxy.org:

Suck.com, one of the most important and influential webzines, appears to be offline permanently, replaced by a porn 
search portal.

The strangest part is that the domain continues to belong to Lycos, with Hotwired acting as the nameservers. If you 
query ns1.hotwired.com for the suck.com domain, it returns 198.65.105.202, an IP address of a Verio server currently 
hosting over 36,000 domains. The server is owned by a company called ParkingDNS.net, which seems to be hosting nothing 
but Parkingdots.com affiliate search portals.
