Oh damn, do not use godaddy.com. One time I forgot to pay the renew fee, and they replaced the empires site with a bunch of ads. Then I paid it, and everything turned out ok. I did funnel all of my anger into a drawing of me unloading a pistol into the head of a domain squatter.
I actually looked for it. It's in one of my numerous "idea" notebooks. All I found was a bunch of gibberish about making an Empires MMO and a bunch of other features never implemented.
I hate GoDaddy just because of how stupid there superbowl ads where. Well make sure you pay the bill next time...
