Stupid Domain Squatters
 

This is just getting stupid.
I just did a search for a domain, looking at like 80-100 of them, maybe 10 had something real on them, the rest were those stupid portal pages with a couple generic adds and a search field.

like this site

I thought there were rules on this shit.

It depends on whether you're infringing a trademark, and whether it can be proven that that was your intent.

"Squatters" are trademark abusers.

"Domainers" are folks who own alot of generic/ non-trademarked domains.

They are two different things.

ah, ok i hate the stupid domainers then.

damn.. that's a good name too.. what a waste!

Try domains bot to help find available names. It not great but it's ok.

I'm pretty sure they're not stupid.
They just make so much money, they dont care.

send em a nasty mail!

that'll learn em!

Yeah that shit blows my mind as well. Then you e-mail them and ask them how much to buy it and they ask for $5k, no fucking way!!

yes, insult them, that will teach them a lesson

Thanks for beating me to it...

:pimp

A+ Thread.

Calm down man. A lot of people having domain names that are in the pipeline to be developed.

Stupid? LOL. Waiting until you are ready to roll and then spending 3 weeks trying to find a domain you like is stupid.

what's worse is searching for a domain, then deciding the next day to purchase it and some arse puncher has bought it and just redirected it to bs like pinkstudios.com

Yes this just happened to me. Went to register a domain name...got the .net but the .com got snatched by a bot.

No I'm waiting to hear how much the guy wants for it. :321GFY
