Excellent.

Hey!

I didn't say that!
That was a quote from someone else I responded to!

I agree with you, as I told you on the phone.
I'm going to have to sue them too, remember?

 

[DropWizard.com]

Toonz honestly. I was using that person's quote

I know you didn't say it.

PS I lost your phone number do you want to email it to me again.

It's time to talk!

Sounds more like a "hairball" to me

I'll take that bet for 100 DNF$. Add some more fun to this topic.
Plus I'll take 6 additional bets of 100 DNF$ each for anyone else up to the challenge. Takers?

I would, but I was smart enough to trade all my DNF for a reg days before gregr closes system )(

Ok, IF WLS is coming...
1. How can we become first on the waiting list?
2. Will the WLS positions be transferable?
3. Anyone know if you will have to pay to get on the list?

Stocdoctor: you have a bet how about we make it more fun and make it 1000 DNF$?

Hey Mark I hope you realize that this is not a challenge to you personally, just a bet in fun. I already offered out bets for 600 DNF$ (in addition to your 100 DNF$ bet) so I don't want to go overboard on this thing.

But! I will bump our bet up to 400 DNF$. That will take me to 1000 DNF$ on this one anyway. I'm still waiting on takers of the balance on the first 500 DNF$ at 100 DNF$ each. Bring em on.

Stocdoctor: You have a deal

I know its just in fun, thats why I'm not betting cash.

Thanks... I'm flattered.... :weird:

Allow me! Stupid

In order to decrease stupidity of some dnforum members I will explain the following.

- WLS: Waiting List Service, which basically means that the first in line will get the domain name if it is released after being expired.

- SnapNames: now, before WLS, anyone can register an expired domain name after its release. SnapNames is just one of the many companies that have scripts running to register the name seconds after it has been released (= made available for registration) by the registrar. When you buy a Snapback for a domain name, Snapnames will try to register that name for you.

- ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers): the organization that decides which top level domains (.com .net .org .us .de .nl etc) can be registered.

Hope this helps,

spietreser

PS. stupidity was, of course, meant to be "stupidity"

Please share your reasoning with us: why do you think that the WLS will not be operational this year? Given that you work for Dotster/NameWinner, I suspect that your assertion may just be wishful thinking...
