Ismailax.com == Bloody Massacre Domain???

There was a thread about this same exact message, namedrive replied to that post and stated in was Google that blocked it....This is Google guys!

 

[Gerry]

With all the press (Fox?) behind this, this may be a case where publicity might not have been too wise. How did not name come into the spotlight to begin with?

 

[AlienGG]

Ok, makes more sense if a parking company blocked it. Was going to say, if Google blocked it from reaching the internet...then it's time to get a better understanding of Google.

There is no reason to block them unless they block the real terrorist sites.
Compare the deaths caused by the terrorists...

I don't know what you're saying, my point is that no one controls the whole internet. Google can block ads, but not domains. A parking company can block domains if they are parked there. No one can just block domains in general.

 

[Raider]

but you STILL said you'd own the domain of CERTAIN past horrific acts but NOT some other ones because of some crazy reasoning you came up with.. human life is human life.

I also made it clear that I would develop such a site as informational, no ads, no for sale sign, much unlike what the profiteers are doing. I don't really have a problem with sites like virginiatechshooting.com, if you want to make it informational or accept donations that really go to the victims, that's another story, but to post a domain like this on ebay with a picture of AK47 and ask $50K-$150K for it, that's despicable, I think we can agree on that.

This can't be true. The message that comes up is a single line, not a NameDrive template with missing Google feed data.

Also, I can't locate that other thread you mentioned. Do you have a link handy?

Again, Google blocks advertising, not domains.

Perhaps I should of posted "Adsense Blocked!"...Domain just sounded better :lol:

It was on NameDrive. Then it was a lander on GoDaddy parked page. I think this one liner may be Sedo.

If Google is not supplying the feeds, then there is little option for parking. NameDrive, GoDaddy Parked pages, and Sedo and others are feeds from Google.

I wonder if GoDaddy has pulled this?

Except as set forth below, Go Daddy may also cancel Your use of the Services, after thirty (30) days, if You are using the Services, as determined by Go Daddy in its sole discretion, in association with spam or morally objectionable activities. Morally objectionable activities will include, but not be limited to: activities designed to defame, embarrass, harm, abuse, threaten, slander or harass third parties; activities prohibited by the laws of the United States and/or foreign territories in which You conduct business; activities designed to encourage unlawful behavior by others, such as hate crimes, terrorism and child pornography; activities that are tortuous, vulgar, obscene, invasive of the privacy of a third party, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable; activities designed to impersonate the identity of a third party; illegal access to other computers or networks (i.e., hacking); distribution of Internet viruses or similar destructive activities; and activities designed to harm or use unethically minors in any way.

I think they could enforce any of the above with pressure from the public, press, or even law enforcement. We know they have done the same with lessor or more objectional material in the past.

I've had the same thing happen at namedrive with one of my IDN domains. I announced that the SE's were finally showing full unicode it got ton's of inbound links and Google pulled the ads with the exact same line. "This domain is blocked" I can promise that this is exactly what happened to this domain. On a parked domain if google thinks you are driving traffic to it by spamming they will pull the ads.

This is not China and he has done nothing illegal or immoral by registering and parking this domain until he decides what to do with it. If it were blocked for these reasons he would have a lawsuit on his hands.

In case you haven't noticed every single ext. is taken in this name.

 

[Theo]

However, it needs to be noted that his motives are monetary since he parked it at NameDrive and then at Sedo.

 

[GAMEFINEST]

Any chance he might have to give that domain up?

 

[Theo]

The domain is NOT banned at Google. You can see that by typing in the full domain in Google; it's #1 on the results page.

 

[Seraphim]

If so, that would have some very bad implications for the industry. He could just say it's "I SMAIL AX", in ghetto slang that could mean a variety of things.

True it's parked for now, but it's not against Icann's or GD's rules to park a domain until you are ready to develop.

Like I said I always park my domains when I register them or buy them until I'm ready. I'm positive he wasn't ready for the shitstorm that hit when he did or he would have been more careful with his whois. Give the guy some time.

I would also like to note that there wasn't a "for sale" sign on it when it did resolve at namedrive.

 

[Fearless]

Prior to reading posts on this subject my view was that registering names tied to this tragedy was bad. Now I wish I registered some. Unlike Republicans or Democrats, I can be convinced to make a position change. Wait until the next tragedy, I'll be glued to the TV with my laptop poised to register.

 

[NameTower]

I believe you're miss-quoting again. I don't think he's against them making money. I believe what he means is that it's biased. And he can correct me if I'm wrong.

comments were directed at the point, not the individual. whether or not they are his views was not my concern.

The news is filtered. When say Fox news, or any news org, goes to the killers sister offers her money to do an "exclusive" interview, sign a contract that she will only speak through them. That is a filtered story and to me truly disgusting. When the world should know entirely from all sources the history of this man.

That is the business aspect of it; not pretty at all. Arguably one could argue that the invisible hand (adam smith) will lead the price charged to other news stations will be in proportion to how important the story is, but anyways. To the extent that the news is trying to bring the people relatively objective stories the news is okay (and doing good); to the extent that stations are trying to manufacture news in order to fuel profits they are being distasteful (but still okay in a capitalist society).

What are the odds that a person who claims no monetary motives jumps from a parking company - which promptly banned the domain directly or indirectly - to another? If the motives were truly not monetary, he could have done one of the following:

1. Used his own DNS (he's a tech guy)
2. Used a parking page with a temp message
3. Used no DNS - still securing the domain

The registrant was simply interested in monetization of the traffic; an act which is not bad in itself. It's a matter of sensitivity towards the victims of an ongoing tragedy. We saw similar registrations after the tsunami disaster.

Guess we'll see if it sells in a week or two if he truly meant what he said.

I myself would have parked it, monetized it, and not the least felt bad about it, and I would still now.

And who knows if he's going to give the money, or any of it to the victims. That we'll never know. But speculation is still just speculation.

Odds? Money wins for myself. :smilewinkgrin:
