Hi folks!
First time here, though I used to read the board for awhile being a lurker, but this case is pushing me to speak out.
On the first note wish to send Greetings to all good ppl that listed my pages over time!

Then I go to the topic.
The domain name that strobi mentioned above is mine. I'm sad this happened, but
think this situation with hi-jacking may grow up worse and wider so wish to share my 2 cents on the matter and will try to express it in this post.

Some details. I am still using Register.com as a registrar, lets call it (R).
"boobza.com" (B) was stolen by 15-jan-2005, i.e. illegally transferred to another registrar (directi.com) from (R).

(R) keeps silence for more than 48 hours since my first Trouble Ticket
that I opened in their system, and still no human response from there.

About 20 hours ago I got automated response from [email protected] (email to them was sent out about 20 hours after I showed domain theft), and after awhile status of (B) has become "Suspended" (I mean Whois data, once again Thanks strobi who noted it first) and Dig [email protected] returned clear list of GTLD's with no traces of hi-jacker. In other words, we can see some action was done by that new registrar, directi.com
So I would counsel Sleazy Dream this effective moment.

Now let's return to (R). Of coarse, this affect only those of us who uses their service.
This is the fragment of the email message I received from them 12/29/2004:
believe me it worth "copy and paste"...

We're upgrading the systems underlying our Web site to make it
easier for you to manage your services. As part of this upgrade
we'll be modifying our Services Agreement (see below) however,
there's one major change we'd like to make you aware of that may
affect your services:

**** Domain Name Locking ****
We will be automatically locking your domain name at the time we
migrate your account to our upgraded system. Domain name locking
is a new feature that helps prevent your domain name from an
unauthorized transfer to another registrar. You will be able to
unlock your domain name at any time after we migrate your
account to our upgraded system.

Your services will be upgraded to the new system beginning no
less than 30 days from the date of this notice.

We will notify you by email closer to the date you will be
upgraded to our new system. Until your services are upgraded,
they will be governed by the terms and conditions of the existing
Services Agreement and your domain name will not be locked.
---

Now all you see clear and sharp that in "no less than 30 days" from 12/29/2004 our "domain names will not be locked". They simply have not yet upgraded. Great Service. High Class Operation. That's my 2 cents. I am totally shocked and pissed.

So, I have to ask all of you who read this and have posted my pages, please, remove links to my galleries hosted with this domain
(www.boobza.com) from your sites and databases. Even if I will get the name back I will no post from it anymore.
I also ask you to ban it from your site completely and please, share this info with your colleagues and partners.

Best regards!
Chris

P.S.
I'm still trying to contact Register.com on this matter. A new TT third day in a row.
