I called up register.com & it sounded like a peurto rican pride day party in the background. I shit you not....and i'm not trying to sound like a bigot....i've actually been to the pride day in NYC, and thats what it sounded like.
Now i don't know why register.com thought it was a good idea to hire local hoodlums to run customer support. But even the managers, & higher ups fucked with me, like it was funny.
In the end, the person who owned the domain up until a year ago had a peurto rican, or mexican/latin american last name. And sold the domain for $40,000.
The employees at register.com stole my domain name, simply because they knew i was a 19 year old....& the probability of it coming back to bite them in the ass was literally ZERO.
To this day, i do not trust registrars.....any of them. With the exception of Moniker. Simply because they are represented here, & couldn't get away with such a thing...without publically being out'd.
Fuck Registrars....fuck their 3rd world support crews.....& fuck ICANN for allowing such imcompetent fucks to lose/steal/ or otherwise fuck up our online realestate.

Well with Registerfly, I hardly had problems that didn't get resolved quickly. This week though was too much to handle - but I should have foreseen it LMAO someone complained about them last week and I told them it would most likely be resolved without problems. I had the same friggen problem this week.
The thing they did with me is - I registered a bunch of .ca domains August 24th - September 5th I get a message that they didn't go through for some weird reason and to try again. I registered it again - got the same error immediately - but the next try it resolved - confirmation emails all good. On October 12 - I'm pulling out a list of all my domains again to make sure they are pointing to the right places & if I should be pointing to sedo and all that jazz and I notice that the last batch of .ca are not pointing anywhere.
Go back in - change the Nameservers, point them where I want them and it's giving me an error. Now the dorks in CS are replying bullshit crap of the same questions I'm detailing to them to do BUT their mental capicity seems limited to me. Anyhow - they never tell me that they are not registered just that their system needs to update with CIRA.
Making a long story short, when I lost my fuse with someone on the phone, the guy said he would fix it BUT when I checked with CIRA - one of the domains **the most important one and perhaps the one that would pick up most value** got registered between the time I'm bitching and the time that this guy tries to fix their problem **By a Domain Broker, nonetheless**
Bitch and complain with them and ask for the CEO's details - legal information and all that and the next twerp on the phone hangs up when he heard 'Is it your legal department that I have to contact to make a complaint to your CEO'
I'm going to start moving them out with each renewal - they can sit on a stick and rotate from now on.
In the meantime, CIRA is not replying to my complaint for legal information either so I guess I'll have to get a lawyer on it to get that name back.
BASTARDS!!!
