According to the article, whitehouse.com is "#1 Internet adult site". Where do those statistics come from? Eurleif 08:52, Jan 8, 2004 (UTC)

Any particular reason why the table of contents is on the right in this article? It seems a bit inconsistent with the Wikipedia aesthetic. Also, the current website at WAPAAAAHH.com appears to be a non-government entity that offers government statistical data. Could someone who knows more about this site add a description to the Current Status section? --LostLeviathan 06:57, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

It seems like whoever owns the domain now can't seem to make up his/her/their mind about what to do with it; it's had a bewildering array of different uses over the last year or so. Maybe they're just trying everything they can think of until they find something they can make money on (but porn was the only thing that actually succeeded). *Dan T.* 11:47, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

the controversy section

I'm a bit unsatisfied with the controversy section, at least the parts that are explaining the .gov versus .com issue. It's factually correct, but not too exact.

Uh -- "much less obscene"? Isn't obscenity a specific legal term? I suspect the author meant something like "less sexually explicit."

PC world article

This is currently linked to from PC World's 25 worst websites just so you are all aware.Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 16:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Owners?

Two things: Could someone verify that Ransom Scott was the original owner of the site? All the sources I've seen, including the White House letter linked to on the page, site Dan Parisi as the owner (he was also the person who the Clinton administration sent the letter to, not Ransom Scott as the Wiki article suggests.

Second, could anyone cite who is the current owner of the website? I'm not sure if this information is freely available, but it would be nice to include on this page to who/when/for how much Parisi sold the domain name for, if he did in fact sell it. Echnaret (talk) 19:35, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

After doing a Whois search on the site, it appears that Parisi is still the owner of the site, at least as far as billing information is concerned. Echnaret (talk) 19:43, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Current Status

Article states "As of February 2010, the site is now owned by the US government and now redirects to www.whitehouse.gov." Ummmm, no it doesn't. I copy and pasted just to make sure I wasn't copying and the website I got was talking about all sorts of Financial Aid and was definetly NOT whitehouse.gov. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.239.26.184 (talk) 03:35, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Out of date

The site is back to porn now. Ganondox (talk) 05:10, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
