Living Room / Re: Loss of ownership / control over a .org domain - advice requested
« Last post by KynloStephen66515 on April 24, 2011, 06:06 PM »Unfortunatly, this type of thing happens every minute of every day. Due to the charity making requests to purchase it, VWNames.com will have picked up on this, and instead of taking a moment to realise this was a charities domain, they have simply picked up on the fact that it was an active domain, that had traffic, and could indeed make them money.
The company in question will have automatically purchased it (Possibly using backorder) the very second it became publicly available.
'Snatching' is very common, however, the host 'Tierra.net' should (But are not legally bound) to offer the domain back to the charity...this would have been the logical thing to do...however, they could also argue that the charity should have placed a backorder on the domain.
Perhaps making a request to VWNames.com to release the domain (At perhaps even a small profit to them (10% over purchase price)) will get them to release it.

) take "Responding to public opinion" too far. Having alerts setup to tell you every little thing said about your software seems very very paranoid to me.

That is one of the most used tools on my laptop, still not managed to get enough money for Terragen2 (Although I did play with a copy awhile back and it looks awesome, if not a little confusing lol)
