*le sigh* My very first domain that I ever owned, Sudsalicious.com, has been snatched up by evil domain gobblers. I had issues earlier this year trying to get Network Solutions to let go of the domain and let me renew it through a different registrar. Of course, they wouldn’t go for it, and I refused to pay $70 for two years. Then I blew it off thanks to the job hunt, starting work, etc. It’s so sad to see my little baby gone like that – I registered it back in 1999, so I had it for 4 years. There are a lot of people and places that think my e-mail address is still at that domain. Oh well, my own fault for refusing to give in to Verisign’s greedy ways.
Fortunately, I set up SudsaliciousBodyworks.com in December, when all of this started. At least there is some good in all of this!

Network Solutions is most evil. >:|
Fuckers. NetSol is so evil.
that sucks, christine… i still have my daysies.nu domain since 1999 and even tho .nu domains are pretty expensive (compared to anything that Godaddy offers), i will continue to pay the hefty penny.
I just got WM! off NetSol last month — the last one I owned to still be in their clutches. There was much rejoicing.
I agree…Network Solutions is expensive!
I don’t understand how NetSol is still in business. There should definitely be laws against some of their practices…
I re-upped a domain @ NetSol in Jan – they processed my payment, and STILL expired the domain. I went ballistic – as this was a domain reg’d back in 95/96 and would have gotten snapped up in a minute. They forced me to pay AGAIN for the renewal, and then credited me for the previous payment. I decided then and there to move ALL other domains from NetSol to other registrars as they come up for payment. (I’m STILL steaming)
It still amazes me that NetSol hasn’t been put out of business yet.
MAN and that was such an awesome domain name too. ERGH. Evil bastards.
$70.00 for two years??? They gotta be joking! I pay $15.00/year at DirectNic, and have had NO problems!
I agree with all who wonder why NetSol is still in business…bet they won’t be for too much longer!
