People always tell me "Boss Stewie! A blogger like you should be having his own domain!".
But I always resisted. Because I'm happy with Blogspot.
I'm not too fussed about being on a free host especially since there isn't really anything I can think of that having my own domain can do but Blogspot can't.
I can even put ads on my Blogspot blog...
But today I went a step further by searching for my own domain name. I searched "Timothytiah.com" only to find this.
SOMEBODY STOLE MY DOMAIN NAME!!!Now if it was "Timothy.com" I could perfectly understand that...
BUT WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD STEAL "TIMOTHYTIAH.COM"?!?! WHO?!?!?
I did a /whois on Godaddy to find out the details of the person who registered my domain only to find this.
Name: Admin
Organization: Maltuzi LLC
Email: admin@maltuzi.com
Address: 800 West El Camino Real Suite 180 City, Province,
Post Code: Mountain View, CA, 94040
Country: US Phone: 1.6508146730
So it was one of those domain holding companies that stole my domain!
Checking out their website, I found the culprit
"Our technology includes automated processes that scours the internet and mines millions of pieces of data to determine domain names that have the potential for generating traffic".
WELL HAH!!! TOO BAD THEIR TECHNOLOGIES ARE WRONG!!!
Timothytiah.com is NEVER going to generate a lot of traffic because NOBODY is going to buy it especially now that I REFUSE to fall into their trap (and if I don't buy it who else will).
(Unless somebody buys timothytiah.com and turns it into a bogel site)
I don't CARE ABOUT timothytiah.com!
I could just go for timothytiah.net then!
HMPH!!!... ...
*pause*
NOOOOO I WANT TIMOTHYTIAH.COM!!!
##$#*($*()$*()#$*()#$*)(#($)$
I AM SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW.
NOT JUST THIS KIND OF PISSED OFF.
OR EVEN ERIC CARTMAN'S KIND OF PISSED OFF.
I AM THIS KIND OF PISSED OFF.
NOW WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?
PS: To anyone who's thinking of saying "Well technically it's not YOUR domain because you didn't register it"...... DON'T!!!
I AM NOT IN THE MOOD FOR BEING "TECHNICALLY" RIGHT OR WRONG!!!

You can sue for cybersquatting.
ReplyDeletetitty man, i say go for doublet.com some more got double meaning. so the nice rite?? hehehe oh and last!!!!!! woohoO!!!
ReplyDeletebelinda: great.. where do i get started
ReplyDeletesuicidal: why doublet leh?
There's still bossstewie DOT com/org/net etc. Or should I squat these URLs...>:)
ReplyDeleteIn Malaysia, there is no act yet protecting from Cybersquatting,so companies are advised to register their domain names as trademarks. Keeping a close watch on the Internet activity will help avoid cases such as www.maybank2u.rvx.net, where an individual illegally used the Maybank trademark to lure users and obtain logins and passwords. www.henrygoh.com/mynews2002_6.pdf
ReplyDeleteGuess you should trademark timothytiah.com then. Else, you can get a US-based lawyer who is kind enough to offer you a pro-bono.

ReplyDeletechapree: HAH! with the help of belinda.. i will sue u!!!

suicidal: what other one
Wah, ganas.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least you weren't bodoh enough to LOSE your own blogspot name. Ugh. I wanted pamsong.blogspot.com and I DID get it. Then somehow or another, I accidentally deleted my blog!!! (Yeah, I know. That time like super noob.) NOOOO! And after that, they just refused to let me re-register the name though NOBODY's using that stupid name anymore and the blog doesn't even exist!!! Hmmph!
Feeling better now? =)
