There was a case not long ago where someone decided that it was a good idea to change the NS records in lame domains. This caused a major service outage for a company who needed this specific domain to be lame in order for a certain service to function. Fortunately, we were able to find the domain technical contact who was able to log into the registrar and put the lame delegation back. Now, the problem has been solved by moving the domain to another registrar whose goal is to keep things the way they are, not clean up lame domains or other perceived errors. --Michael Dillon
