I will ask Gus to post in detail whatever his side of this story is. I'm interested to see what he has to say. If he ignores me, then I will certainly be suspicious as well.

And to clarify, my understanding is that your claim is that they were "stealing parking revenues" from you. Now of course the first thing that comes to _my_ mind is that DNS servers were mis-configured. Registrar's have all defaulted to their own dns servers at one time or another, and although that tactic seems a little sneaky, ultimately you are in control of your own domain and can change that any time. I've never been a big fan of that tactic, but, it has been fairly common to see all registrars doing that at some time or another, and I accepted that as "business". I'm assuming though that your complaint has more to it than just that. So please explain in detail how they were stealing your parking revenues, what time frame this occurred over, etc... If a crime was committed, we all want to know the details.

And if other people have said they have had problems with MyID - please contact them and have them post it here. We would all like to know the details straight from the horses mouth rather than second hand. That is the point where I thought it was sounding slanderous.

I'm hoping we can resolve this once and for all. Most people are seeing the MyID auctions as a good thing, so if there is a serious problem we should be concerned about, we would like to know all the details from both sides.

I appreciate the offer Rob. You've always been a standup guy in my experience.

But the same thing was offered to me, behind the scenes, back in May. I gave them a reasonable period of time to get back to me but that passed and the silence is deafening. That person is on this thread and if he wishes can confirm what I've said as I won't out him publicly when he was making an unselfish effort.

And it wasn't just one domain it was EVERY SINGLE DOMAIN in my account. I think around the 80-100 mark. For a period of about 7 months. And I have their acknowledgement that they did it. (after several evasive emails where they tried to talk around it)

Now to a certain extent I blame myself too as I should have been watching nameserver changes etc just in case something ever got hijacked. But I wasn't and didn't catch it until I was reviewing the domains in Feb and wondered what happened to a domain that produced a good $2-$3/day in rev was showing absolutely nothing for rev for months.
