Re: Registrars: Good, Bad & Ugly

any reason why you haven't printed Monikers pricing for tlds?
because it would put it at the top?
1 and 1 at the top? lol
try being a UK customer, it's about 3 times the price, they have a two tier system
think you need to revisit those sites, as the prices are way out. particularly enom for example, there are different type of accounts you can have.
what is all this rubbish you keep printing about Monte?
not quite sure what your objectives are

Re: Registrars: Good, Bad & Ugly

There's just so many metrics to judge a registrar by. I'd be hesitant to trust any site like that.

Re: Registrars: Good, Bad & Ugly

Well, honestly, I am not sure what to expect from this lad or lass anymore.

I find it odd that a newbie want's our opinions and appraisals but does not care what the hell we think or have to say.

I also find it odd that a newbie would come in here to discredit other members and their opinions and worth. I am also referring to this very forum's polling of it's own members ranking, evaluation, and opinions of the very registars that NYdumainer is referring to.

A new chapter in How to Win Friends and Influence People has been written.

Belittling registrars that domainers, professional and newbies alike, have built up trust and confidence in is not the way to garner new customers. Sure, you garner new attention but in such a negative manner that you seem to bask in that ray of light just for that one fleeting moment.

In regards to some of your other threads, you have made serious allegations regarding illegal practices (shill bidding) against sedo. Tell us now the real deal or be done with it. Publish your comments and names and contacts. Be prepared to back this up because once it is published it can be used against you if you have lied, decieved, and falsified documentation. If it is truth and factual, then you have nothing to worry about and the heat will fall will it may. Many of us here have much at stake with Sedo and the registrars you claim are the worst and also have quite a disdain for those that you rate as high on the whatname.com chart. Which, I would assume you are aware by now, that this is totally irrelevant and such as waste of bandwidth and webspace.

My feeling are this...controversy is free publicity. You are getting many of us to view your threads and view bullshit domains and sites while it is being registered as traffic on whichever service you are using. In my opinion, you run the risk of all of us catching onto your game and your scheme and literally not being taken seriously (90% rating perhaps already in the making) and members totally ignoring you altogether.

On the other hand perhaps you have something to contribute and we can benefit. Better yet, perhaps there is much you can learn. But I am not sure if you keep up with these games and schemes your mind concocts that you will get any attention whatsoever.

Here's an example: your BS restaurant.com. We are all one community of domainers here, but we are not from the same community. There is this new fangled contraption called the internet that brings people with the same interest together in one place...DNforum.com.

You have people who speak French, are of French heritage, are natives of France and yet you insult these members by insisting they are wrong. Not cool.

In the meantime, the real deal was right in front of your own eyes. You inspired me so much that I posted the translations for restaurant in so many languages. That inspiration that you gave me prompted me to check for myself which legitimate IDN's were not taken.

Thanks to you and my posting of the native languages and spelling, I decided to reg these domains.

飯館.net Chinese (Traditional): 飯館 Restaurant
2.390 million returns for 飯館

مَطْعَم.net Arabic: Restaurant مَطْعَم

And two that are not even IDN's but in my opinion sweet cause the good Lord knows I like me some good brauts and red cabbage and German potatoe salad and wienerschnitzel:

dasRestaurant.net
dasRestaurant.mobi
German:das Restaurant
3.010 million returns for das Restaurant

Legitimate domain names, legitimate IDN's, great keywords and great search results, all inspired by you.

Am I going to get rich off of these? Who the hell knows?

But if someone wants to buy them, they are going to be purchasing the real deal and not some contrieved BS domain that is not correct in any language and can not even be pawned off as a typo because it is still contrieved.

The currently value of my domains? Reg fee. Future value? More than Réstaurants.com seeing that you went in the hole 8 bucks on that one.

So see, you have something to contribute. I guess we just have to find it.

Venom is referring to a group of people as nazis, soviets, and now brits. Those very same groups that make up part of this community called DNforum that you voluntarily joined but obviously want to distance yourself from.

Venom is this poison that you are attempting to claim you have regarding a company called sedo and shill bidding accusations.

Venom are these weak arguments that you present to validate a claim that you are selling a legitimate product when it is nothing more than a contrieved and concocted and fabricated word.

Have it your way.

Venom is the snake that could very possibly bite you in the *** if you keep playing these games of making and publishing false claims and you find yourself facing possible litigation, regardless of your age, gender, race creed, religion, or sexual orientation. As they say, justice is blind.

And seeing that you are such a advocate of and a huge IDN expert and guru, this is for your added pleasure:

WARNING: German, Soviet, and British words posted and interpreted that you may find offensive.

Ny ? I'm giving you legend status. Why?
because you've been here 5 minutes & every thread you've started has ended up as a popcorn thread.
Geez! Doc Com has piled on 5 pounds in weight since you arrived! LOL

That's when he changes DNS on your domains or prevents you from transferring domains altogether.

The name was concocted less than a month ago.
Some may think it's a jewel, but to others it's either 'merde' or 'Scheiße'.

Total bs.
The exploitation of the Irish, Italian, etc immigrations in the XIX c. is an "orderly process" ??
I would call that murder and rape.

Potato famine:: British complicity
The exploitation of the Irish, Italian, etc immigrations in the XIX c.: Waspy complicity.
Destruction of Iraq:: Waspy Cheny complicity.
