I just tried to check out www.civ3.com and it actually registered as opposed to giving the 10.0.0.1 lookup addy. Perhaps something big is planned in the next few days?

The www.civ3.com registration has been in existence for a long time.

Thoughts?

That someone within Activision was smart to buy up the website a long time ago during that whole court trial and just before the whole internet explosion. Without this, the whole cybersquating problems that we have all seen would have taken effect.
