A thought

I love the name of Stratco’s ‘Good Neighbour’ fences. Deliciously cynical.

Cybersquatting and such.

If you’re looking to buy a domain name, don’t look it up to see if it’s available unless you’re prepared to immediately buy and register it. Many people have reported this happening, and it just happened to me: Maltuzi Holdings LLC., a company which is essentially scum, intercepts WHOISs to empty domains and registers them—and uses them as nothing more than parked advertising sites—so that legitimate users cannot.

These fuckers are big. Check out DailyChanges.com. They’re top of the list for domain name activity.

Mind you, I had no great desire for the domain. I just thought it would be kind of cool (I wasn’t sure what I would use it for, either, so perhaps me not buying it is a good thing). That still doesn’t excuse what happened.

I doubt you’d manage to put a dent in the system unless there was a large, concerted effort to do so (possibly due to a Slashdotting, hint hint), but it’d be nice to have people placing huge numbers of WHOISs for useless and empty domains (whois bombing, as it were). Of course, I don’t know how kindly the people running the whois servers would take to it.
