Ha, I just saw this as a sort of shitposting reaction-image kind of thing
My immediate question is -- where is the original from, and is there a set? It looks like film photography from the 1980s or 1990s, probably British, so probably Splosh! magazine.

BEWARE!!!
The old Splosh! site was hijacked by spammers who (when I last looked) were trying to suggest that all Bill's old materials are still available for sale. They're not - they'll probably happily take your money (including, of course, all your card details!!!) and you'll never hear any more about it... but a few weeks or months later, your card will be used for purchases. They probably figure that you'll never go to the authorities about being scammed on that sort of site, if you even remember giving them the details!
They'd also put very dodgy links to other scam sites in there so I'd be VERY wary about clicking into the old site now.
A group of us (including MuckyPup - Bill's forum site manager) tried to grab it to archive it, the day the site expired - but they beat us to it. (They'd pre-ordered a transfer.) We did, however, manage to save the forum (which is still up for archive puposes) as that was on a separate server and is now at a slightly different address of:

Wow what shitheads! Could this be a member of the UMD? I mean who else would have tried to get that website address? Is there any way to report something like this somewhere? Either way, thanks so much for sharing this, hopefully this gets exposed and no one gets scammed.

My guess is that they know that kink and porn sites get the highest traffic and base it on throughput figures, keeping an eye out so as to grab them when they expire. I doubt it's someone who's actually active in the WAM community. Probably afflicts all sorts of similar sites.

Possible, but I doubt it. The MO of most exUMD twatwaffles is to scour social media for people who were messed up on gameshows or something, and then send them very detailed, creepy, inappropriate messages about something that happened 20+ years ago on TV.
Yes, this was a free set of film photos on the Splosh! website and there are some classic 90's? swimsuit filling pics. I hope it's okay to re-post a few of them here, if not, please remove them.

No, nothing that sinister, it's just someone who recognised that the domain in question had, and will continue to have, significant residual traffic and is trying to use that to redirect traffic to their own business. None of the "purchase" links go anywhere or try and take payment - Nominet, who run the .uk registry, would yeet the whole thing off-line in an instant if it was being used for actual fraud, we have fairly strong legals about such things here.
It used to be when a domain expired and the original owner didn't renew it, it was allowed to drop and the next person who wanted it could just pick it up, these days they never drop and are instead auctioned off to whoever wants them, as residual traffic is now known to be profitable.

Ah nostalgia with these. Reminds me of looking at the splosh website on my flip phone that I figured out had internet somehow. Surprised I didn't get in trouble for running up my families phone bill tbqh lol
