Anyone interested in ta-spring.com domain?

Back before springrts.com was created, I bought ta-spring.com as a vanity redirect and hosted a few mods / maps. Now the "TA Spring" as we know it is pretty much gone, I'm no longer renewing this domain. Before I let it lapse to the spammers, I was wondering if anyone was interested in it (just the domain name, not the hosting).

It will be a sad day to let it go to spammers :(

Do you mind if we ask the hit count on ta-spring.com? Cause if its significant, I could pitch in and forward it here.

It gets about 800 redirect hits per month (most of those are probably bots), 230k total hits per month (this seems awfully suspicious and is probably the result of some auto downloader freaking out and opening thousands of connections). I don't see many incoming links to it anywhere, so you'd be taking it more for the name than the traffic.

It expires in two days so I left it too late to transfer, but if anyone wants it I can renew it for another year then transfer it to you if you cover the renewal cost.

It's $10 to renew for a year, then you will have to pay however much your registrar charges for a transfer (this also adds another year to it). I recommend www.namecheap.com

I'll buy it on the condition that it can redirect anywhere.
