i wonder why bash-a-business.com has a [.] to apparently defeat text parsing? yet it’s actually a link. to the webarchive.

and one (and only one) other site has a similar construction to its name.




Maybe to keep someone from registering it for malicious purposes? At one point, archive.org would follow robots.txt retroactively. So if you lost control of the domain, someone else could wipe all of its history.
