At the end of the day, no matter your domain, ICANN can just take it for their VC bros. Happened to a friend of mine that owned a pretty novel domain name that a certain social media company wanted. He refused to sell. ICANN and his registrar just transferred it out from under him. Gone. See ya.
- Tade0 10mo agoWow. In light of this it's amazing that Mr. Nissan (RIP) and later his heirs managed to not only retain control of nissan.com, but regain it after it was stolen years after his passing.

- ctxc 10mo agoOut of curiosity, what was the domain?
- Steve16384 10mo agoYou gotta name the domain!
- reactordev 10mo agoI'd rather not face the ire of ICANN, sorry. I know better. They read this site. They know that all it takes is some company to issue some trademark litigation and they fold. No basis, no question, just here you go.
- ajkjk 10mo agowhat would they do to you...?
- reactordev 10mo agoOh you sweet summer child, you haven’t met their lawyers…
- ajkjk 10mo agowell, condescension aside, literally what would they do? there's nothing remotely illegal about posting the name of a site in a forum. and here you are trying to get me to be as scared as you are about posting a basic fact in a forum and why would I be?
- HWR_14 10mo agoThere's a difference between trademark issues and your registrar auctioning off the name
- reactordev 10mo agoUnless you prove you had the trademark first and they did it anyway.
