Yeah, we had some fun with it. It was done by Mike Doughney, VP
and co-founder of Digex. It was in the very early days of the
company, and I was the tech contact on all domain registrations there
at the time. I also built and maintained the machine that hosted the
site, which was (initially) a Sun 3/60 in the aforementioned "blade
server" configuration.
I also handled the mail servers that had to contend with the flood
of hate mail about it. ;) Ahh, people who need to find hobbies.

The domain
peta.org (People Eating Tasty Animals) went away
nearly fifteen
years ago. I got hate mail about it as recently as 2007. And I
was only
the tech contact!
You were involved with that site? That's great. I've been telling
people about it for years. Other are free to disagree, but I think it
was hilarious.
