[doodlebug]

ok ! Just done a search on the famous manchester lawyer Nick Freeman AKA Mr Loophole who has represented many of celebrities including Beckham and hardly lost a case in his career, he specialisies in drink driving cases, anyway his website is WWW.FREEMANKEEPDRIVING.COM / .CO.UK anyone fancy regging WWW.KEEPDRIVINGFREEMAN.COM / .CO.UK
put his loopholes to the test, see what he comes out with then use this to help keep hold of your own domains should someone throw a DRS on you ?
Or something else to test him ?
we could learn from him !
Any ideas ?

Much like 911 did with the US waking a sleeping giant with disasterous results, along with teaching us a trick, by proxy we will be teaching the enemy a trick as well.

I'm suprised you haven't been sued over that royalm**l domain yet, bringing attention to it on a forum is plain stupid.

Grant

Agreed - it looks more like one of those phishing style sound-a-like domains.

Domains like that give domainers a bad name Do yourself and everyone a favour and surrender it asap.

 

[Skinner]

I have learned 2 things about the law, never mess with the legal folk or gangsters because neither one looks good for you

Royalm**l

Yes din't think of that about phishing name but i know what you mean could see people getting e-mails fom an address like this asking for personal info, i have a few .co.uk names i would like to release, does Nominet charge for this ?
Thanks !!!

the name Royal Mall is good, as you know mall is taking off in the UK with walmart owning a slice of the UK's big 4, its only time before they create those massive yank walmall thing that have 'walgreen', 'walvideo', 'walelectrical' and all the parts setup like a trafford centre affair, only its all the same shop (where as now we use aisles and consessions, the odd yank uses a more shopping centre idea.

So play that angle

 

[doodlebug]

Did think of that when regging and coincidently the day i regged it the queens property investments purchased the slough retail park which the next day in the papers was dubbed the Royal mall, purely coincidental, i think even if a different spelling WIPO can still suggest you give it up due to the public confusing this with the know brand Royal mail.
Think i might let it go and stick to Generics.
Thanks anyway Skinner

 

[Skinner]

I don't know about that but royalmail.co.uk isnt used, so may play a part as long as you. Play that newspaper story and do a site all about the retail park, with shop reviews and affiliates to shops inside.

 

[doodlebug]

Now that could be a good idea thinking about it, i'll send a letter of interest to Buckingham palace with my proposal ( joke ) no seriuosly good suggestion, can't believe Royalmail/co/uk not used when it's a British brand ?

 

[Skinner]

RoyalMaLL.com maybe a bigger issue than royalmaLL.co.uk.

I came across a site a while ago about the trafford centre, which I was really looking for a guide to navigating the carpark system (its a nightmare), which carparks are best for which shops (theres about 8 carparks), information on buses, it was a whle lot more useful than the centre's own website.

It also included links to all the shops with websites, own websites alot with affiliate links where possible, they did a 'if you liked this shop, X, Y, X maybe of interest to you, and each shop had its own page with a breif bio some 'top picks' from the stores.

A few of the shops even had 'X% Off with coupon below' and 'free coffee with print of this' etc, so maybe a good goer.

 

[doodlebug]

You know what Skinner !!! i really like your suggestion and thanks for the info on Trafford centre site, coupons and free coffees a good idea, yes i know the trafford centre well, your best getting a bus from Eccles, gonna leave it at that now before they think we're bumping lol Thanks mate !!!

 

[golddiggerguy]

It is used, you probs tried the address without the www. they haven't covered all bases with the DNS A records. RoyalMail.co.uk <- broke www.RoyalMail.co.uk <- working

It is a pet hate of mine that a lot of big companies don't do this and the IT dept should be on the ball for this.

I don't know about that but royalmail.co.uk isnt used, so may play a part as long as you. Play that newspaper story and do a site all about the retail park, with shop reviews and affiliates to shops inside.

 

[Skinner]

You know, I never type www. on domain names, because I think if they can't sort their IT folk out, I don't trust them with my Data.

Even the £1 a month hosts have that sorted.

Because RM do it all inhouse they have fucked it up.

 

[golddiggerguy]

Well you were right in a little way as the .com version is the main domain that's indexed with Google.

And they do have that A record sorted.

Just to add too this, how annoying is it when people give out domains or web addresses and start saying? "w w w ." Ahhhhhhh

 

[mat]

certainly sir, our domain name is.....

H, T, T, P, Colon, forward slash, forward slash, W, W, W, dot

Reminds me of a classic with Rackspace tele-hasslers...

Them: Yes, I can email over a PDF quote, what is your email?
Me: rob at rob dot co dot uk
Them: Wow thats a cool email address! I wish I had that!
Me: Er, but you said your name is James?
Them: *Silence*
