Has Brandbucket merged with a Libyan Company?

[Ralph2472]

Has anyone else noticed that Brandbucket's "Creative" section is now devoted to 226 names with the .ly extension (Libya), and that possibly all of the names are registered to the same person or company.
Hadi Naser ( Project.ly Libyan Spider)
Whilst he is obviously a very good customer if he paid for all the listings; it's strange that all other extensions have now been excluded as creative.
Perhaps someone from Brandbucket could comment.

Regards

Ralph.

The thread title is funny
They might as well relocate to Tripoli for a possible tax relief

They haven't merged, just a partnership.

Thanks for all of the information. I don't know how I missed the NP thread (I must be getting senile)

No problem - it's easy to miss threads (or conversations within a thread) around here

I hate brandbuckets new interface search/setup. "If" I owned brandbucket, I would change it completely around. There is "NO" ease of access for customers. The design is frankly, horrible.Where did their filters go???

Sommmeeee....people prefer 5 letters over 6. Assholes.

Hm, it seems the categories are missing from the mobile version. I remember seeing them on desktop...
