Comments on: Register Your Discontent! II: Speculating About The Speculators http://www.blogpi.net/register-your-discontent-ii-speculating-about-the-speculators Putting the blogosphere under a magnifying glass Thu, 18 Mar 2010 06:21:18 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: qwan http://www.blogpi.net/register-your-discontent-ii-speculating-about-the-speculators/comment-page-1#comment-149394 qwan Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:28:40 +0000 http://www.blogpi.net/register-your-discontent-ii-speculating-about-the-speculators#comment-149394 <p>I really dont see any discontent in your post for these cybersquatters. I am enraged by this behaviour. So now I see that register.com is involved with domaindiscreet. I was looking for a domain and wanted and I see that domaindiscreet picked it up 2 years ago. I am guessing i would not have got it because I am sure someone searched for it on register.com and then did not register the same day and then register.com "informed" domain discreet and swooped this domain. Godaddy used to do this for their expired domains. If you are domain expires and you forget to renew it. Then you wait till the redemption period expires and you grab the domain. But before you do another company would come in and grab the domain name. The good part is if you took up a backorder with godaddy.com you get the domain and the company only booked the domain for 5 days period(the grace period where Icaan will charge only 25c for the domain) and then they would again rebook it. Godaddy.com was involved because I was waiting on the 5th day and when I searched on godaddy.com it would come taken. I had fortunately installed a namecheap.com search on by firefox and domain was available on that. I booked in on namecheap inspite of it showing N.A. on godaddy.com. Then I launched a one-man campaign against godaddy.com and withing 1 month they stopped doing this. As far as I know they don't do it anymore. Register.com i one step ahead and they grab domains that a person searches for. I think the best way to teach them a lesson is to start a campaign where every involved comes up with some "believable" good domains like bakeforus.com, velvetmassages.com or whitewillowinc.com and search for it on register.com. That way they will start booking domains and they will end up with a hell a lot of useless domains. Keep on searching them and start sending letters I want the domain. In the end they will go under loss and stop this business. This same kind of tactic had worked for the nigerian scams which told you that someone deposited a million dollars in a bank account in spain and you have pay them a "fee" to tranfer it to you. If you responded to them they would even send you snail mail. Someone started a site where people would simply start emailing them as a response. These people did know whom they sent the email to as they just spam in huge numbers. Then many went bankrupt just posting replies back and sending snail mail(photocopies of cheque and bank pass book). I think someone should start this with domain grabbers and put them out of business</p> I really dont see any discontent in your post for these cybersquatters.

I will personally NEVER register with Register.com again. They used to be good, or so I thought, but now I know they are snakes.

The Impeachbiden.org domain was only one in a collection of almost 50 domains relating to presidential campaigns, and was by no means purchased as an endorsement of Biden impeachment, but rather in a moment of "I wonder what will happen if..." as in, " I wonder what will happen if I buy up a bunch of random presidential domains?"
