IMO, that's a good decision...I've had domain names "hijacked" in the past by companies who posted a bunch of links to porno, warez and other questionable sites. Out and out hijacking isn't as much of a problem as it was a few years ago (thanks to better security precaution by registrars) but I'm always very leery of sites that are little more than collections of ads on "parked" domains.
