Didn?t the guy offer you to buy this domain from him? Why haven?t you done it yet?

You have to do something, bitching alone won?t help.

It?s your choice. You have been given a chance, nobody can force you into this. I just think that it?s not smart to act as you do.

Good for you ralph. Fuck 'em. It's shitty and there's no reason you should have to pay for it. Isn't there some type of law against this practice? I believe it falls under the intelectual property rights/ trademarks etc laws. The main criteria for these things is whether there is confusion caused in the mind of the consumer. In this case, pointing a domain name that a consumer honestly thinks is ralph's, to the shroomery may make them think that he's either out of business, or just runs a shoddy operation.
That's not acceptable if you ask me. Registering the domain names in the first place was his fuck up. Pointing them to the shroomery keeps the confused consumer away from him, but still keeps them confused. In fact, it seems like a purposeful, malicious attack and I would personally contact an attorney about possible legal action if I were an affected vendor. The only acceptable solution IMO would be to have the domains point to their correct websites so as to avoid his intentional misdirection and confusion of his competetions consumers. So what if he's out the money for registering the domains, he should never have done it in the first place. And the community should never have tolerated it.
I can't believe anybody else is actually bowing down to such shitty actions in our scene. You guys should have higher standards for our community.
This is depressing.

Is the domain name you want already taken?
If so, like hundreds of thousands every month, it may soon expire and become available again. You can now "back-order" your name with SnapBack?
When you Back-Order a name: SnapBack will monitor the name around the clock, "24/7", so you don't have to. If it becomes available during the next year, SnapBack will attempt to acquire the name for you the moment it becomes available. The cost of a successful registration is included in the $69 price. If the original registrant renews, or we were otherwise not able to register the name, you can transfer your subscription to a new name without cost. http://www.snapnames.com/

Nobody "bows down" to those actions. But read what mycotek wrote, he(or his attorney) obviously knows how the business is run nowadays.
What I?m telling to ralph and other affected is: get your domains as long you can!

I wish I could figure out when Anno and Thor are admins and when they arent. They leave, then come back. Speak bold but have temp positions.

In reply to:

That was totally uncalled for Slowpoke. You have no right coming in here and flaming an Admin.
Anno allowed your post....I didn't......and I wouldn't have.
Anno was trying to help Ralph. They don't agree on securing web domains.....oh well. They are both entitled to their opinion.
You want to go flame someone go do it in OTD. I will not put up with any attacks of any Admin.....in my threads....at all. Consider this a formal Warning.
As far as Anno and Thor....they are both active Admins on this board. Anno only took a week off to get some stuff done. Thor took some time off to get his head cleared.... a vacation would be a better term. This board is a better place because they are here!!
As far as Anno being a know it all....he is very knowledgeable. I think he has helped this BB more than most with his vast knowledge. Lets face it the man is very intellegent.
End of my lecture!
I see one more flame in this thread.....its history!
