Reminds me about a big site in (www.bilddagboken.se)
Its a site where people can register and post pictureblogs. If I register as ryan the adress to my page would be ryan.bilddagboken.se.
After YEARS of running the place (around 800.000 users) someone registered the username "www". This resulted in all visitors that typed www.bilddagboken.se (or used a bookmark) was directly redirected to the user "www" page. His/Hers page had thousandths of angry comments accusing him/her of hacking bilddagboken.se
