You can find some sites on the Internet that show you the "whois" history of a domain; I looked this one up and the history does go back to before you owned it. It's probably not a bad idea to do some research on an available domain before you sign up for it, just to make sure you're not getting into a situation like this. :) It was probably registered by a spammer years ago, and was dropped after getting shut down or blocked for spamming.
