I'm really fucking pissed off. - GoFuckYourself.com

xenigo · 04-14-2006, 02:44 AM

I checked a domain today, saw it was available... and got really stoked about it. I just sat down to register it about 8 hours later, and it said it was taken.

God fucking FUCKING DAMN! I wonder how this could happen.

juve20 · 04-14-2006, 02:45 AM

"stoked"! are you a surfer??

abyss_al · 04-14-2006, 02:46 AM

happened to me once with ihop.com lol... it was available then i took a nap, woke up and to late

what was the domain?

VIPimp · 04-14-2006, 02:48 AM

If you ever search for a domain name and its available, you better take it right then... otherwise its gone... try contacting whoever bought it, they'll prolly sell it to you.

xenigo · 04-14-2006, 02:51 AM

God, this really ruines my night. Fuck... I can't even find out who took it because it was just registered now.

xenigo · 04-14-2006, 02:52 AM

I honestly feel a loss. Like someone died or something.

Manowar · 04-14-2006, 03:40 AM

happened to me many a time thanks to whois.sc

tyler. · 04-14-2006, 03:47 AM

also happend to me , you must be very quick in order to get the domain you want

xenigo · 04-14-2006, 04:06 AM

So what do you suppose is going on here? I feel like this is some super shady shit. This isn't a coincidence. It can't be. It's not like the domain I wanted had some history as a site previously. It had never been registered before.

there is a lot of packet sniffers who do this, it's known to happen at a ton of the big registrars and at whois.sc

generally they will drop it after 5 days if it gets no traffic

soulbleed · 04-14-2006, 04:08 AM

SomeCreep · 04-14-2006, 04:08 AM

post the domain

JOKER · 04-14-2006, 04:09 AM

Don't worry, it's up for sale shortly

On a serious note... if you see a domain and want it, register it right in the same second, otherwise you're getting 0wn3d

Yep. I had one go TAKEN in the time I searched for it till the time I went to register it mere moments later the other nite. Kinda pissed me off.

Tell me how they'd drop a domain after they register it? Registration is in 1 year increments, right?

xenigo · 04-14-2006, 09:05 AM

Anyone?

8char

i-Affiliate_com · 04-14-2006, 09:12 AM

8char.com is available !!!
go to rebatedomains.com and register it

pornguy · 04-14-2006, 09:20 AM

Packet sniffing is one way. another is that someone from the registrar takes it, by having a friend buy it.

lots of registrars do that shit. i always buy as soon as i see it available.

that sucks man.

Hue G. Pness · 04-14-2006, 09:51 AM

I don't really feel sorry for you. If you find an available domain that you think is good or that you are "stoked" about, just buy the damn thing on the spot. It isn't like domain names cost much these days.

Getting all worked up about a name and then coming back 8 hours later to get it is just dumb.

Better luck next time.
