Domain name ideas (poll)
MightyFool:
Hi everyone,
To boost the visibility of this forum I was thinking of registering a domain name so we lose the .createaforum part.
Unfortunately most of the obvious choices like classicaltheism.com, classicaltheismforum.com etc. are already in use.
Please vote in the poll above or add your suggestion in this thread!
Mackie Messer:
I'm pretty sure Brian, one of the other moderators here, owns classicaltheismforum.com. It's the domain name we used for the vBulletin forum. It might be worth asking him about it.
MightyFool:
That would be great. I'll email him.
Update: The domain was expired and is now being domain squatted by some vendor who wants $300 for it.
So unless we pay 300 bucks, we have to choose an alternative.
Ouros:
Can't you try to negociate? Just tell him that you'll only take it at 30$, and that he should be happy that anyone want to buy it.
MightyFool:
It's not Brian who sells the domain, it's a separate company.
What happens is when a popular domain name expires, is that it's up for grabs for anyone. Domain-squat companies scan popular expired domains to buy them and then resell them for a higher price. Unfortunately, that's a legal practice and can only be disputed if your copyright gets infringed (for example the mcdonalds.com domain name expires and gets bought, they can dispute that because mcDonalds is a registered brand name).
If you go to http://www.classicaltheismforum.com/ and then click on 'Buy this domain' at the top, you can see the price they request.
