Then I would NOT bring it to his attention by contacting him. Just let it expire or if you think you can buy it for a reasonable price, then contact him.

Well, too late. Besides, it turns out he registered it 5 days ago. Gotta love life's irony.

You're screwed for at least 1 year (assuming he doesn't renew it which he probably will).

Hahaha oh boy will he get the ATOT effect. Now there's no way I can get him to give it up if he thinks he's getting all these visitors hehe

Already planned to. Besides, I can just copy the old site that means a star that's dying and say ".com is a scam." Then I'll get people on my side.

I bet the guy is a time traveler and when your idea became so popular he went back in time to register it before you.

I think you should sue him. ;)

I've got her info too. Maybe one of you hax0rz out there could seduce her then steal the domain for me?

Which part, specifically?

The posters in particular. At least pyonir came in and threw a couple girly punches, that's always entertaining. :beer::):beer:

So you're not saying that my situation is horrible? Or that the domain name is horrible? Because I sure do love it.

I've always wanted to do this site, and I couldn't think of a good domain name that would be somewhat related, but then I realized BootyChatter.com would be PERFECT, only to realize some slut got it 5 days before me.

HardcoreRobot: I dunno, I just use it when I hear something crazy or when someone says something stupid.

Hevnsnt: What was the question?
