Nothing beats a good offensive move than a better counter-offensive.

Great idea, Dan, and worthwhile to post on similar stories and sites.

Thanks Doc Com,

Anyone here is free to copy my post for this article and post it anywere you can were they allow you to "comment" on their articles. If you want to re-word it a bit...thats fine...my writing skills...are not the best...LOL

Always two sides to a story.

A few of us "domainers" registered some VT domains to help "prevent" people from trying to "profit" from the tragedy. I for one registered about 15 domains related to this. Example: http://vtfund.org/

I contacted the VT webmaster and offered to give the domains to them...they said they did not want the domains...so I decided just to "redirect" the domains to their official fund located at: http://www.vt.edu/tragedy/memorial_fund.php

Other "domainers" did the same thing. Another "domainer" registered over 50 domains...costing him over $500 and has also "redirected" the domains to the official VT fund website.

Heres a link to a domain forum thread...were we conveniced a guy who had registed a VT realted domain to make a profit and was getting thousands of visitors a day and could have made thousands a month from this domain...but he relented and the domain has been pointed to the official VT fund website.

People do...do the "right thing"...but it seems like everyone just wants to report about the things people do wrong.

Best,
Dan
