    Squatting on a domain advice

    to sum it up, heres the following:

    there was a domain, it was available to reg

    i offered the school to take it. They didnt take it.

    I regged it.

    2+ years has pass and no complaints. I used it for personal stuff.

    January 2006, some association from the school wanted the domain because i decided to put up porn and it was soiled their name.

    Here are the facts: Its an acroymn, its not a trademark, its not a copyright. Its a slang meaning. (similiar to OPP... you know what OPP stands for?). The site gets 30 uniques a day.

    I want to sell it coz i know the more drama i create, the more they would want this domain.

    Thoughts?

              Ask the school if they want to buy it?

                      school is not interested

                      they are using subdomains on their school name.

                      maybe in the future.. who knows

                          'nuff said ?

                          If they have no legal rights to it and didnt reg it when you gave them the chance, their loss...

                          If you wanna be a nice guy though, give it to them, but in return they will have google and archive.org results for porn

                              as long as you don't connect the site to education through ads or anything you should be fine, but you might want to talk to a domain lawyer just in case; they can send a formal letter back to the school.

                                  if i said hbs, ppl wouldnt know what it means. But those that went to harvard would know.

                                  same thing pretty much in my case.

                                              i told someone who was empowered to register this domain and use for their school's purpose. They didnt respond to me after 2 months. At that point it was still available to register.

                                              They solicited me after i sent the link to some acquantances that i know on my msn list. it spread from there i guess.
