Garbage game gets gutsy

[Theo]

I've been watching a domain for about 1 month now out of pure curiosity. It lives for a couple of days and then it's re-registered by the same owners.

So I guess that they drop the domain paying nothing or maybe $0.25 each time while exploiting the parking revenue, since the domain's DNS doesn't really have to propagate again between registrations.

I think this is as bad as click fraud. What do you guys think?

"A newer variant, sometimes called "kiting," involves the same company reregistering the same name every fourth or fifth day to hang onto it in perpetuity, without ever paying for it."

register it yourself?

That would be funny! ound:

Steal it away on the drop and then keep bouncing it like they are doing. Might cost you a couple of bucks over a few weeks but worth it for the laugh.

:hail: Then whoever is doing it might think they lost a gem and might offer you something for it.

That would be a hoot and you would have more great stories to tell! :gossip:
