Domain hijacker...

tamara · 2006-03-15, 08:36 AM

I hope it's ok for me to post this here... I know I can't mope around and worry about these kinds of things, I am a little guy in the world of webmastering and I cannot afford to buy every derivative of every domain I own. But I just figured some folks might want to know of what I consider to be unethical behavior in a new TGP owner. That would be this one: http://www.xbdsm.net

Why unethical? Well I own xbdsm.com and have been running a linklist there for years and years. Since 1999 actually. The best part is that this person actually submitted their site to me; as if I'd link to someone obviously trying to profit from the traffic I've spent a long time building up.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened to me and I know it won't be the last. So I hope it's ok that I posted this here. I personally cannot imagine doing something like that, buying an obvious derivative of another webmaster's site. It's just slimy! And some folks might want to know that before trading traffic with this person.

Incidentally if anyone has BDSM free sites, please don't hesitate to send 'em my way! XBDSM is actually getting/sending out some decent traffic... for a little guy, anyways!

Thanks for letting me vent,
Tamara

this is not hijacking a domain.

Ditto what Torn said, no hijacking going on there.
