Good luck J. Domain squatters suck. That's why our domain has all the dashes in it. A freak in Texas is squatting on the one we should have and has a spam site running on it. It really really pisses me off.

Yeah, I tried the contact info for the current owner with no response. I wonder if I can appeal to some higher authority, or if there is an agency that is good at this sort of thing.

styleforum.net is a cool sounding url. it's almost exclusive because most would look it up under .com and not find us.

styleforum.com sounds a little cheesy. im glad it's not us. dont get it j

Yeah, contacted them before. I got a bounce message, no such address. Wonder if I can appeal to ICANN to contact them under the "must have real contact info" rule?

It's kinda strange they are playing hard to get. On the .com it's just a bunch of adverts and a big slogan at the top saying this domain may be for sale. That suggested to me contact me and come get it.
