(Okay, maybe I didn't try hard enough) Personally, I want to meet the first person to use the "Make this my homepage" link. >There are parked-pages pages that at least don't look like a scam.

You could almost believe it was just a site redesign, not realize it's an expired site. I like making money, I don't like lying or deceiving customers to do it. This looks like a very strong attempt to deceive. >If I >was trying to separate people from their money, I would look for a better >way to do it. I don't think these pages are about separating people from their money, but rather, tricking them into clicking on a link and getting paid from that click. If the page made it clear that the domain expired, but this page was there to help the user find what they were really looking for, then I wouldn't have as big a problem with it. I don't have a problem with the idea, I have a problem with the slimy feel about it. I like making money, but I much prefer not feeling like I need a shower afterward. -- Dave Warren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: (403) 775-1700 / (888) 300-3480 _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
