Final offer: $10.00… for the both of them, AND you have to take a check made out to your real name. I loathe cybersquatters. Don't these posts violate the TOS of this forum?
Living the American dream, Gus. Where else could someone be successful enough to purchase both his alma maters?
Yes, they do. Degreemill.com, incidentally, was once owned by Kristiaan De Ley and pointed to his first mill, Capitol University.
In a thread here last October, Brandon was selling the domain "degreemills.com". After a couple of weeks, John Bear apparently bought it for $300, although he's not using it.
Yes this is true. This is the only reason i posted here again since I sold my other domain the last time to the owner of the forum. At that time i did not own the domain degreemill.com, it was owned by someone else but they did not renew so i caught it when it expired. I am also not a "cybersquatter". .com Domains are available for anyone to register on a first come first serve basis.
Chip White is the owner of DegreeInfo.com; John Bear is just a regular member. A lot of people mistakenly think John Bear is the owner, because http://www.degree.net (owned by Ten Speed Press, but devoted to Bears' guides) has a link "Discussion Board" that takes you here without warning you that it's taking you to a different Website.
Thanks. I never knew that. I always wondered why it didn't have his name in the whois. I used to visit this place all the time.
The fact that domains are available to anyone on a first come, first served basis is precisley what enables cybersquatting. For a complete definition, see here. "The principle is "First come, first served." For this reason, a number of enterprising individuals and companies have applied for and reserved domain names, either new or expired, that they think someone else will want, either now or in the future." AND "Many cybersquatters reserve common English words, reasoning that sooner or later someone will want to use one for their Web site." You are a cybersquatter.
My understanding is that "cybersquatting" on WWW names has been significantly weakened as a get rich scheme. I believe that some big companies have won lawsuits for the following reasons. 1. A trademarked name is still trademarked. For example, if someone tried to reserve www.cokeIsIt.com, the Coca Cola company can argue that Coke is a trademarked name so the other party couldn't legally use it anyway as their own website name. 2. The squatter isn't using the name anyway. They are essentially just trying to extort money.
Domains are like real estate. I assume you have something against people who bought land in the west in the 60's and 70's even though they weren't building a house on it. Is it your position that people should not be able to buy land unless they plan to live there? It is business. As in any business there is risk involved. those who were willing to take the risk to buy the great names while being laughed at are the equivalent of those who got laughed at for buying real estate out in the middle of the desert. If those companies wanted to use the names for their business, than they should have had the foresight and business sense to register them. You snooze you lose. Also, I do not sell domains except on rare occasions. The key to making money in domains is to monetize the type-in traffic they receive, not domain resale. Although, the offers still come.
