Have you ever Been Cybersquatted?

hehe

I’ve heard that the internet is getting over populated… Supposedly it’s supposed to almost crash by 2020…

I’m guessing cyber-squatting isn’t good for that

W00t, I’m a cybersquatter…. wait, that’s a bad thing. If only 1and1 made it get rid of domain names =/ I have to call them to get it deleted (I got it for fun, and no longer want it).

for your last video. i know you would come back. DUH!!! The f***ing video was posted on 1st of April. guess what “happy April fool’s!!”.

Bullshit. They will just create new TDLs

ok who did he fool then? he totally got me, until the rick astley song come on lmao, that was great

He got me until the song too lol

lol He got me until i looked at the calendar and that song came up. hope he enjoyed my comment on the blog post rofl

First come first serve, tough ****. Quit your crying asshat.

WTF are you talking about? I live in Japan and they don’t do that at all. All ads show URL’s in them.

A lot of ads use the Qcode (mobile phone barcodes) for mobile users but you are totally off base.

The April Fools video was weak. I’ll be honest. You had me going for about 15 seconds while the page was loading but then I remembered it was April 1st. I was almost on the floor laughing when you started dancing. I even replayed the video and tried to copy your moves. lol

My font site foxyfonts dot com was swiped from under my nose! I accidentally let the registration lapse (missed the godaddy email among all their other junkmail offers) - by the time I realised, they had moved the URL into some kind of “quarantine” and I could not reapply for 60 days. When I did, I found some other guy had snapped it up before me. VERY annoying.

True, however it is possible for a cybersquatter to register a domain but not link it to a webserver. In that case, your browser would show nothing, yet the domain would still be unavailable. At this point, it would be a good idea to right out attempt to purchase the domain as compared to just doing a whois on it and thinking you can buy it later.

However, I’m still not convinced that cybersquatters sit around all day snooping in on 3rd party whois lookups, though by all means it would be possible since most of these services run unencrypted over the wire.

its a joke

I sure hope so… I can’t imagine life without internet anymore

wow is chris going cwazy today? all his videos seem weird

this one isn’t a joke i dont see how people find it weird too… its annoying when people use domain names just for advertising.

yea i do sometimestype random sites too see whats there if nothing there i think of buying

I just got back my domain from cyber squatters. They had it for six years and wanted $300+ dollars for scottwhitten.com. I used to email them every week and offer $1,000,000 just to piss them off. They got it when it had only been up for renewal for 2 days. I will never miss a renewal again!!! What a bunch of low lifes.

Regarding article on Cybersquatting. If, as you report
“Some people swear that if you do these lookups using a service like GoDaddy, a Cybersquatter will zap up the domain you want.” why don’t you suggest to all and sundry to log onto GoDaddy and start typing in ramdom silly website address and if a Cybersquatter zapps up the name isn’t this going to cost him/her money! Like a whole lot of money!!! If there is any truth in the rumour then cybersquatters will have to be more careful who/how they try to screw.

chapet!

I live in Colorado. I love Colorado!!!!

I haven’t been cybersquatted but other people have made a .net after I have made the .com and make it their own site, not selling it.

I once used SEDO to try and sell a domain, the domain was about to expire, a person put $120 down, they didn’t pay me, I think that they were waiting for it to expire so I just renewed it.
