It was recently discovered that the domain name search engine Network Solutions immediately takes any domain that you search for on their site and registers it, making the person that wanted it pay double. Try it yourself!

    Hey Laser, in case you didn't see mine, I called you a chicken fucker in a URL, and Network Solutions had it registered. blink.gif Oh, and the censors here have decided that it was uncalled for. dry.gif

    Yeah I saw it, I wonder why it was removed though, if it doesn't offend me it shouldn't offend anybody else. blink.gif

    Yeah, just like a post I made in another topic was removed because someone had some problems with it. dry.gif I would post it again, but that would be pushing it too much. Its already been removed from this site several times. dry.gif

    I'm kind of bummed by that one. sad.gif

    They removed one of mine too even though it would have made more sense just editing it. Perhaps they're being judged by how many posts they deal with now so they're really going at it. biggrin.gif

    Thats a possibility. blink.gif Once again, I'm going to say they handled it in a questionable manner. If someone had just said that I messed something up I would have felt extremely bad about doing that. But saying I should be warned, removing the link, and all that crap made me feel less remorseful.

    We should write them a strongly worded letter. That'll teach them...

    Of course, I was complaining that there wasn't enough work to do to warrant promoting so many new staff members, but it seems they've decided to create their own supply. biggrin.gif I guess I've been proved wrong. sad.gif

    Do you want to know why your stuff gets removed?

    Its either too stupid (IE "I don't know about this.... BUT...") or too much sexual shit in it. thumbsup.gif

    lol. I'm already nagging hydro for about 90% of the time I'm awake, so I'm way ahead of you there.

    ...and I agree with your second point. >_>
