It was not our database. Not one person was able to prove their information came from us. What you have to understand is these guy are pros at obtaining information. I'll give you a couple examples: Go to Directnic and purchase all information with domains containing certain key words. You registration information might not be correct, but did you use a credit card to register? You have to give real information. Buy a list of all cooperations and businesses in all 50 states. With a phone number I can get the address it connects to. With a name I can get your address from the DMV. Is you site linked to any TGPs? Have you ever been to a webmaster show and had your badge scanned?
I thought I had proved my case fairly well.. I had a call with them and they told me the same thing about directic nic and so on... but the only flaw with that theory is I have around 50 domains parked and Acacia only has 1

atleast 50% of the domains I have contain adult keywords.. and the kicker is the date the domain in question was registerd I allso registered a second domain with the same keyword.. yet acacia has only 1 domain. (btw the keyword is sex)

So I think that proves it didn't come from a register. I personally don't think Matrix handed the info out.. I think myself and a lot of people jumped the bandwagon but do to the nature it could only be expected. I'm personally going to lay off accusing Matrix intill they have a chance to sort things out.. When you think about the way their business is set up, it would be very stupid of them to sell out it's cilientbase.. So I am giving them the benefit of doubt on this being they are a well known company.

I think everyone should give them a rest for a bit and let them work this out.


btw Matrix, I'm still waiting on that call to be returned.. I thought the info I was giving you was pretty usefull.. I've looked up all my names I've registered and have some more from the same time period and the same keyword.. should be usefull information for you in proving this didn't come from the register.
