Godaddy is evil

I would rate that as highly unlikely. The domain was never registered before near as I can tell by looking up the domain history on Domaintools.com and a few other sites. Then within 4 hours of me looking it just happened to be snatched up by somebody else dumb enough to use godaddy? I'm skeptical.

Right, you're the only one in 7 billion people to have that particular idea.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -
Yes, it sucks doesn't it. So many opportunists out there. I read recently of a facebook plugin (or similar, don't ask me, I don't use it) which monitored what you typed into your browser, and if the domain didn't exist would send that information back to some central place. Presumably, they can then build up a list of domains that don't exist but people expect to exist or would have accidentally end up there and register them. That's the trouble with the internet. It used to be nice when the computer world was just developers, but now the rest of the filthy world has its fingers in it.

So yeah, I question the timing that none of the other 7 billion thought of using that domain until 4 hours after I first searched for it. :doh: At any rate we've picked another variation and are on our merry way.

So the business plan is as follows: 1. Screw with potential customer. 2. Lose any chance of a sale. 3. ??? 4. Profit. The goal of capitalism is to make large piles of money that you can roll around naked on. They are not making dime one here so for us at least I'd still say this runs counter. But I suppose it is possible that other people put up with this scheme and buy the domains from them at a jacked up price.

Profit.It's capitalism at its best. - Know what people will pay, and charge them that, not what the product is worth. - Buy for as little as possible; sell for as much as possible. - Use whatever resources you have to maximise your own income. People never complain about money being taken from a sucker unless they're the sucker. It's why I'll never buy apple products; I refuse to be one of their suckers.
