Weasels

[Dobber]

Often I like weasels, but these f\'rs are pissing me off. Pardon the language and lack of professionalism, but come on - these nerds sit behind their f\'n computers looking for a weaselly way to latch onto someone else\'s success so that they can make a quick buck. They buy domain name after domain name until they have a million owned, and sell a few of them for several thousand dollars each.
First, one f\'n \'company\' in Hong Kong - and I use the term loosely, since it describes a bunch of clowns working hard at finding a way not to do any work - registers Dobber.com and won\'t sell it for under $5000 (and no, I didn\'t give them my name when I opened the discussion).

Now, some SHIT company in California registers DobberGolf.com. I could have sworn I bought it two years ago, imagine my shock to see it owned by someone else. Have they no shame? Apparently not. Yeah, clearly a site that is NOT capitalizing on my work.

RANT OVER

:angry:

Brutal! Everyone wants something for nothing these days...

To argue the glass is half full side of this: It shows you\'ve attained more than a modicum of success when people are starting to latch on and try to pirate your name like this. If it weren\'t so aggrevating it\'d be downright flattering!

:woohoo:

[mysterymike]

i love rants

[jlucas09]

I think there should be a Rant section all to its own. Nothing like reading a good rant when your bored at work

[JagrBomb]

batman has no jurisdiction, give him the name of the company and he\'ll make sure you get your website.

Hey Dobber, want to see why people do this in Hong Kong

its much better then the alternative.

I was shown this video in college, I\'m taking a Mechanical Automation course. This is why we can\'t compete with over there. We must make equipment to automatically do labour jobs to stay in business

[duballstar014]

maybe use d0bber instead of dobber? what a pain that is though...ridiculous.

Some new and fresh ideas?

thedob.com?
dobsagangsta.com?
dontmesswiththedob.com?
askyourmomaboutdob.com?
iwonmypool.com?
dobberforpresident.com?

i could go on forever here...

This sucks, and you have every right to be upset. You may even have legal recourse through trademark law or otherwise.

What I don\'t understand is that you [thought you] registered DobberGolf.com, but not Dobber.com? Can\'t be, can it?

[Dobber]

dobber.com was taken long ago. I tried to register dobber.com and when it was gone I went with dobberhockey.com. So I\'m already on my backup name!!

[Zorro]

better get dobberfootball.com, if its not already taken. I\'m sure it will be next after golf..

damn these people..

[doulos]

Meh, there\'s a trillion fantasy football websites.

Dobbergolf was a great idea since fantasy golf is not given a lot of internet \"press\"

[STONE.]

What else is in the works?

dobbercurling.com?
dobberlacrosse.com?
dobbertexashold\'empoker.com
dobberspellingbee.com?

Just promise me we\'ll never see: dobberNASCAR.com
