What Happened to Parked?

Rico · Sep 13, 2011

Well, the founders of parked filled their pockets, that was probably the mission.

I think they got the message when everyone moved their portfolios away. Kind of a "voting with your feet" thing.

I am sure most everyone did in fact also contact parked.com about their decline before they moved on, I did too but mostly heard back nonsense about traffic quality scores.

Agreed. I did not want to leave, but I really had no other option.

A most accurate statement.

As somebody who has had a little bit of experience in this situation, it wasn't that the owners filled their pockets, and it wasn't that "Donny" blew a good thing. It was their upstream provider who blew a good thing. First you had them sell their souls to Microsoft/Bing. And then you have all of the TQ problems. And then you have all of those domain bannings. And then you have all of the id10ts. No wonder they sank.

You didn't load your pockets with Millions of dollars by skimming our earnings so you can buy an Island in the Bahama's? You would almost think that by reading some of these asinine posts.

Intelligent minds know it had little to do with Parked and more to do with Yahoo/Bing and their TQ scoring bullsh*t.

I hope your able to recover and move to a provider that will blow out the competition, Parked has a lot going for them, the ultimate interface, reliability and trust, All we need now is the $$$.

Does Parked.com have anything in the pipeline for a quick recovery?

Hard to believe he would really say that in a post. A lot of members here have been negative about their big decline.

I was wondering if Donny's DNF account has been hijacked? Maybe Adam of someone else could contact Donny outside of the forum to ask if was really him and if yes, exactly what it means?

I have my doubts as well when I first saw the post.

Usually closes all his posts with "Donny".

But after reading the lead-in text again, whoever posted appears to have significant knowledge as to what happened and what is going on.

I believe it is he.

David G · Sep 16, 2011

But what does it all mean? I think I know about "we do not forgive" but what can "we are legion?" be about and "expect us? and "Anonymous?" I also wonder of Donny is a former employee at this time? Sounds like one. Can someone find out?

Do you mean Donny's DNF account was hacked or hijacked? Adam should investigate it then.

Rico · Sep 16, 2011

anonymous doesnt like big companies i.e microsoft

I TOTALY agree!. I damn sure hope that Parked.com can somehow find its way back to Google. I honestly think we are in the beginnings of a HUGE internet bubble that will make the last one look like a "Bump in the road"...just my 2 cents. I just know that Parked customer service is still the best in the business...question is how the hell do they afford it.

FlipKing · Sep 30, 2011

I've been with parked since 06 and I just removed 4 of my domains, I just have 6 others sitting there... I never made that much, even tho they paid on time and have top much customer service. I decided to develop the names I've moved.
