Someone has to be the first one.

I once registered web.site. I had it for a week or two before I tried pointing it at a server at which time someone noticed and took it off me.

This... isn't how domain registration works.

I mean it absolutely could be. For a lot of these weird TLDs, it's a single company that makes its own rules as to who owns a domain. Not saying the person you're replying to is right or wrong, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

It was taken off me by the same people that I registered it with. They may have broken rules to do so. I just know they said I shouldn't have been given it.

.site is run by radix. They run quite a few reasonably popular domain names (.tech, .space. .online etc). AFAIK their rules are entirely standard.

“Someone”…?
