Domain question, experts read please
 

I got this domain in my sights, nothing fancy but just something I want, my prob is the douche that registered it dont wanna pick up his phone, and his email bounces, absolutly no way to get ahold of this guy. Shoud I go to the registrar, or isnt there some new icann thing where they have to respond to an email if i request transfer before 5days?

Im just not up to speed on the loop holes/rules.

Thanks guys

I'm preety sure that most if not all registrars require a reply to the email verification. If the e-mail just bounces back, you may not be able to snag the domain. Not 100% sure though.

Any1 else know for sure? Would be good info to have.

this reminds me of DOM buyer trying to get hotpics....you should just give someone a reward that can get it :)

haha I actually remember that, its not a domain of value to me though as I said, and I figured times might be a little diffrent now, as theres those new icann regulations, I just dont know whaat they are hehe

Most registrars won't help you :(

got the link to the new icann stuff?

godaddy says they will transfer if nobody replies to the transfer email

does the domain have to be with godaddy then?

I dunno why he´d even go near 5k for it, I wouldnt...but well, if he has a plan and a scheme ready for it, maybe it´ll be benefitiary to him.

Submit it to icann abuse.. and maybe you'll get lucky. But its better to go to the registrar and see what happens, before forking out cash for other people to get it for you. :)

Even if you narc on the guy, it's not like they are just going to hand you the domain. Thought about sending him a snail mail letter to the registered address?

I beleive in the future all registrars will have to obide by this, but as of right now godaddy is the only one inforcing the rule.

Hopefully somebody who knows more about this will give you a more concrete answer. :)
