has www.ntlcommunity.com sold out?
 
www.ntlcommunity.com now points elsewhere....


Does anyone know what's going on??

Did ntl buy it out?

Russ 08-08-2003 20:07
Ha! I don't think so....

Russ 08-08-2003 20:12
If there has been a sell-out, I wonder if this'll appear in Amy's I, nthw.com, ntlh.co.uk etc etc.....

edit - I get the impression this is gonna be a HUGE thread....

Stuart W 08-08-2003 20:18
Well, I can only think of a few reasons why DNS would resolve this way.....

The biggest one has to be that ntl now own the domain.

And maybe we could make up wild ideas about how many tens of thousands of pounds he/she was paid ;)

Or is it a case of someone having the address taken away due to the impersonating another company rules etc?

Seems they've decided to shut up shop and redirect traffic to ntl.

Cyber squatting? But NTL weren't interested in that address otherwise they surely would have registered it straight away?

No we won't, we'll just get the facts behind this deplorable decision if it's true, as Matthew may have re-directed it to ntl's site of his own accord.
Good to see that irony isn't wasted on you ;) :D

Lord Nikon 08-08-2003 20:27
There are no listed disputes on the ownership of ntlcommunity.com, the domain registrar has not changed, however the domain status is listed as registrar lock

Anyone tried phoning matthew for comment?

dd2k 08-08-2003 20:29

You are of course absolutely spot on!

Oooh the scandle of it, imagine not being able to afford £ 3 p.a. to stop people from ripping then off!! :rolleyes:

Actually, Andre fess up, this domain was already registered by the time they bought .com :rolleyes:

So your :rolleyes: was not really necessary was it?
I'll :rolleyes: where I want to thanks :D

To the best of your knowledge was ntl offered the domain? If so by you or the previous owner?

Lord Nikon 08-08-2003 20:47
Aren't we kinda drifting off topic here?

The original question was for Matthew about ntlcommunity.com

Stuart W 08-08-2003 20:52
Me too.

I seem to remember a lot of people shouting about Frank 'selling out', I didn't think anyone else would 'sell out' through fear of repercusion.
