Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[TOXX]

Heh, thanks. I was born old.



I don't follow this particular stock - is it down to OneCow now?

:lol:

It's kind of like what happened to Register.com :lol:

That was really funny! :lol: Down to one cow and no milk!
Well done Meg on your 1000th post.

Congratz on your 1000th post as well as your 1 year star!!!

We are lucky to have you as a member. :tu:

As someone whose company makes and markets a couple of high end spam filtering services, I'd have some pretty strong reservations about it as well. (I've had my email address since 1994; you can just imagine how many lists I'm on, but I refuse to give it up)

(hey, this is my 1000th post!)

 

[whitebark]

netmeg you are a riot!

As for the email bounce idea - I don't want my domains anywhere near that. Far too risky and nothing kills resale value and search indexing faster than a bunch of spam complaints!

Oh, that's what that thing is. Well, thank you all very much, and also for the reps; I noticed I gained another little green thingie as well.

Hello All!!

Sorry to intrude here, but there are a few misconceptions that need to be cleared up. As a new company, we want to make sure we get off the the right start.

First, we don't have any affiliation with DnZoom/Bido. Sean Stafford myself and the team left DNZ/Bido a short while ago. We are now working on our own ventures, ReplyCycle.com is one of them.

Also, please keep in mind that we are not contributing to the spam problem that already exists. In fact, all spam that comes through to us is completely filtered and vetted. Anything left over is the "real" emails and only those are replied back to.
We ourselves don't like spam and we are not going to futher the problem by replying to every single email that comes through.

What we do accomplish is letting a sender know that an email box is no longer in service by the individual who once had it. Yes, we do stick in an ad in order to monetize the email, but we are also letting the sender know that they need to take an action to contact the right recipient.

Currently, when someone sends an email to an email box that is no longer is service, 1 of 2 things happen:
1.) Nothing. The email goes into a "black hole" and the sender never knows the email failed
2.) The user gets a bounce back message.

In either case, this happens without reply cycle being involved. This already happens on a day to day basis. When we step in and become involved, we let the user know that they have reached a wrong address, and it is no more intrusive as getting a bounce back message.

If you are interested in learning more, please take a look at our site, replycycle.com
A big apology to Donny here for getting in on the parked.com thread, but as a fledgling company we need to make sure that we correct any inaccuries that may be surfacing.

Kind Regards!
Dan Kimball

Sounds like cool idea.
Good luck with your venture

Thanks Copper!

Yeah its a good idea, I have signed up for the Beta. But will it work with parked domains?

 

[PowerUp]

Whoa, what's with all this spam email posting?

Anyway, I just login to my Dashboard and notice that today's stats is not marked with *. Does this mean that what I see now for today is already the final stats up till now? I see my stats still increasing as the time inch closer to time 00:00. But I'd like to know if what I see is real stats, or just estimates.

It cant be finalized yet! Has to still be estimates

 

[Donny]

Yeah, it was an estimate. We are working on some new system for providing more detailed stats and we ran into a little bug. The stats are definitely not finalized yet.

$4.21 clicks from yesterday - along with a whole lot of $2+ clicks the past couple of months - the only thing that would make that better Donny would be those new templates...

You have them, we want them - set them free!
