I had the exact same experience.  I allowed my domain to expire after
trying unsucessfully for OVER A YEAR to get them to update my DNS
servers and contact information (before my domain registration had
expired, in case you were wondering).  I mistakenly chose not to renew
my registration, so that I might simply re-register with another
domain registrar after its expiration.  They held my domain hostage
for years, until finally it's now owned by a domain squatter.

I hope they all rot in hell.
