Heads up, domain expired about a week ago. :)

Mutt maybe.

epic fail - going to result in a lawsuit against a registrar

Ouch, sorry to hear that... Didn't know it was like that, just thought I'd post a heads up. I'd hate to see that site go to some domain parker jackass. :(

Not sure if Jon still owns it.. but sent him a message.

Edit.. didn't know you owned that Mutt.. as you can tell, havent talked to the guy in quite some time...

Jon's trying to help out but the domain is in the hands of a registrar that appears to have abandoned ship other than receiving funds, the admin is busted, they don't respond to emails, tickets and their phone is dead. the registrar is a re-seller for Directi and they have been of little help resolving the situation. Google is filled with similar stories about this reseller/registrar.

Sucks man. Hope you get that cleared up

Horrible news man, I hope you get it cleared up asap Mutty

Be your own registrar reseller so this doesn't happen unless you die... Even then, only if you didn't leave somebody your login info for that kind of emergency.

I managed to unlock myself from them back in January this year, but seems like it must have got worse now

I wonder if sending someone to their door with a baseball bat wouldn't solve things quicker and cheaper than a lawsuit. :)

omfg how does ICANN let this shit happen? there are years of complaints against this two bit company and now I've found the owner of it, it's some young jerkoff who literally must have been living with his parents operating this out of his bedroom when he became a registrar/reseller. on the plus side, i know who he is, where he lives. and he appears to be from a well off family and might have assets of his own, on his GooglePlus he has photos of a nice piece of property it looks like he was going to build on.

he's now working for some medical services company.

Nice one Mutt :thumbsup

I remember finding his name too and I found discussions about him, but fortunately it never came to that

ICANN is a joke. They never do shit about bad registrars.

here's our special boy, god knows how much money he's still scamming from customers through paypal.

They do shit but they are kind a slow,if your domain is unavailable for just week you could lose all traffic which you used to have to it once you recover it.

That tool cost me money, I've never seen his photo before, not what I expected. My main site used to go down every year because of him. Seems like he doesn't touch his web hosting anymore, just leaves it there to 'run itself'

Baseball bat material.

i like the end scene from the movie departed better then a baseball bat...just sayin...it's a great movie...

btw, blow that phone number up until he fixes it or call his local police and report internet theft and other crimes.

Usually in case of a reseller you can complain to the registrar (Directi?) and manage your domain directly through them. Is that not the case with Directi?

She's up! Finally. Now to see the damage this fucker did.

IT goes to a parked page with a message saying it expired on Aug 9 for me. Could just be waiting on the dns to roll.

yeah that's what it is - it's up for me.

Congrats on regaining control! :thumbsup

congrats mutt, would have sucked if you lost it
