is MyDomain.com stealing our traffic

[smoothlime]

All the domains at mydomain.com is currently being redirected to their OWN affiliate.

This is what says on the page:
This site is either under construction,
or there , .may be a issue with the Free URL forwarding service in which case our technical staff is currently working the situation.


From what I understand, they simply can redirect all of the traffic from ALL redirect domains to their affiliate ONCE a day for an hour, and still make enough money to run that service for FREE!

Check it out:

americanwar.com
386party.com
artsandantiques.com
barracuda-sportfiske.com
bioflex.com
athensrealty.com

etc etc

I'm smelling fraud

yep, I just checked my own sites and it's the same thing.

When there is an malfunction in the system, nobody should be making money. Otherwise, this simply looks like mydomain wants to make some money, by presseing the "oops-the-system-is-down button"

As an employee of MyDomain.com, I can honestly say that there is absolutely no "stealing of traffic" going on through our service. If the MyDomain customers posting on this forum had checked our own forum, http://forum.mydomain.com, yesterday they would have seen the announcement about a large DDOS attack that took the forwarding services down for a few hours. During the process of mitigating the attack, an error page was loading which did contain advertisements.

Because we value our customers opinions, we will be changing this page dramatically. Thank you to all the members who helped contribute to this process.

Again, there's nothing malicious going on here. Any of the members on this forum are free to PM me for more information, or anytime for questions you may have about the MyDomain.com services.

Thank you!
