yes, you probibly have gathered that I hate them just from the title, but now I hate them even more. I was just about to register killerchutney.com as a redirect to my website for american visitors who can't handle another dot, and it was taken. I would not have minded if it was an actual website, but no. a crappy 'what you need when you need it' page. this has convinced me that they should go. So I'm going to make a campaign against them (similar to ebaumsworldsucks)

I clicked the link to join the fight, but got a 404 page. Anyways, nice banner and good luck with the ongoing fight again bots.

Note those sites are only up for a maximum of 90 days, 90% of them for 30... keep checking as if this name doesn't get a lot of hits they won't rebuy.

From what I understand these "companies" buy thousands of names at a time, and due to the 30 day money back guarantee they hold them until day 29, then refund them, and banking on the $$ from the clicks and hits. The names that don't produce enough hits don't get bought again.

Try again every week and I am sure you will get it within a month.

Something like the annoying sites that buy things like gooogle.com and gogle.com. Annoying.

Sometimes if the domain is for sale, you can get a bargain price if you just try to contact them and negotiate ;)
