All you really need to read is the language, they aren't people they're 'shady domain land grabbers'.
You can tell from the language that the OP knew of an opportunity to buy mispriced assets and/or renew their domain, and having failed to take the opportunity is now upset at others having taken the opportunities they missed.
You know the kind of people that couldn't be bothered to spend $90 for a 10 year registration and now have to pay a few hundred to get a domain back they wasn't worth $10, or clicking the 'auto-renew' button to them.
- joelrunyon 12y agoGiven that you have 75 days to renew your domain after it's lapsed renewal - it's not really taking advantage of anyone. There has to be some mechanism to release unused & unregistered domains back to the market. And careful - you just dehumanized an entire set of people ("they're not people") because of the work they do. Domainners might be annoying - but they're not gangsters.
- fleitz 12y agoOh sorry I meant to quote the OP, not dehumanize them, also gangsters are people too :)
- ASneakyFox 12y agoThey're not gangsters they're squaters. They seem to have been out squated by another domain squater. Should have had his insight.
- teacup50 12y agoThey're not just annoying -- they're immoral.
- joelrunyon 12y agoHow is buying a domain that no one is using for market price "immoral"?
- ASneakyFox 12y agoBecause it's done with the purpose of eventually giving some one a shake down ergo eventually might have a use for the domain. Only reason they they let this happen is because it's good for business. I'm sure domain like 95 percent of domain registrations are done by these so called "domainers" or people protecting themselves from then.
