Just a warning about Directnic and how far they won't go for adult webmasters...

In March a certain well known asian country allowed registration of TLD's. I grabbed a few very very nice ones. Now I know that this country has very strict rules in regards to domain terms. You can't register domains with the seven bad words...So I stuck to double entendres and some obscure but very sweet terms.

Now many will say that any domains other than .com are worthless, but you have no idea what you are talking about. If you know how to sell in Asia these domains are gold, and I will park my Porsche's on your lawn to prove it.

So anyways I email directnic a few days after registration to ask why my domain is not resolving. They say it was declined by the TLD registrar as being a term that is not allowed.

Well I just check and now some other fucker has my domain up and running, registered through a different registrar.

Directnic it seems NEVER EVEN BOTHERED to try register with the TLD. They made an arbitrary call that has cost me something very valuable. Has anyone been through an Icann dispute process? I guess I am actually going to have to sue these guys. The domain is rightfully mine.

And as a less than funny side note, the guy using the domain is an AP affiliate 164119.
