Well, the page said the new owner WOULD SELL, so I figured it would cost money. I actually called the company when I found my iffydoemain.org wasn't available and they said it had been registered on May 6th by someone else. So I just made it iffydoemain.com instead. I think Larry is right,

RE: Domain Name Scammers

Not only will the scammers take a lapsed name, they also register many of the alternatives too: my company's name ends .com, and a Chinese crook has registered the .org, .net, .cn, and several other potential ones as well. Not a lot one can do about it without spending a lot of money to

We lost our beloved dear Kitty Cat last week. She had cancer and passed away Wednesday and I buried her in the back yard. Since then there have been four others that I know of that have lost their four legged family member. My sister-in-law lost her sister yesterday and a fella at work lost an

Just a thought, but did you find out how much they want for the domain name? If it *is* the hosting site, it might not cost extra, but there's no way to know without asking how much. On 5/10/2017 15:56, Marnie (aka Doe) wrote: Okay, squatters, nice to know, Larry. When you go to the original

Re: OT: Domain Name Scammers

Seems like organizations like GoDaddy get to park a lot of these domain names and wait for a fish to bite. I'm thinking that they are register servers or something of the ilk and get to do this for free or very low cost. If you do a whois on them, they are all parked at CASHPARKING.COM, which is

August Eclipse Update

The solar filter for my 300 f/2.8 came in. I've got it & played with it a bit. Main thing I noticed was how far down the learning curve I am. Second thing I noticed is there's a lot of "information" out on the web on photographing eclipses and not a single damn one of them tells you anything

OT: Domain Name Scammers

Well, after letting my photography domain lapse I went back to get it back. And what do I find? Someone took it. So I reregistered it as an org rather than a com. Otherwise same name. I also reregistered my other main site (re games) as a .com rather than an .org. Otherwise same name. So
