You may have read on Kotaku or in our community blogs that Sega was curious as to how many people out there still owned a Dreamcast. There was a supposed poll for us to fill out, and as the page had a bit of moonspeak on it, most people simply assumed it was legit in hopes that Sega had plans to bring us something wonderful. Well, someone had plans alright, but it wasn't Sega.
As it turns out, Sega doesn't even own the domain Dreamcast.com anymore, and somebody's got their filthy, blaspheming mitts on whatever information you might have given out. If you're among those unfortunate enough to have been duped by this scam, you may want to stop by DVDDesign's blog for tips on how to rid yourself of the HIVs.
Now that we have that out of the way, I would like to put out an APB on whomever hatched this evil plot and sullied the good name of my console. If found, please take him into custody and deliver him to Retroforce headquarters, so that I may stomp repeatedly on his throat.

I almost registered mine but the site was down... thank mr. G.O.D.
good thing. They'd phish my address and unload a bunch of copies of Chef's Luv Shack or Blue Stinger or something on me.
Also, shame on those that would exploit people's love for the Dreamcast! I don't believe in hell, but I'll start if it means these people will go there!

Hey look, its my blog! I was kinda hoping for a slightly better way of being linked on the front page but never mind.
Where's all the leet hackers?
All they have to do is let it lapse (maybe accidentally) and then someone else picks it up real quick. They don't need to necessarily abandon the thing
Some people are on the look out for these sort of sites.
