Registerfly buys Twocows for their accreditation and back in business!

Registerfly decided it worked once to back door accreditation by buying an existing registrar. Therefore they've pulled an end run on ICANN and decided to purchase another registrar to be back in the domain business. ICANN will have to give them 15 days notice again and they will then have another registrar lined up to take them for the 15 days following that. They've decided that since ICANN has no authority over registrars, they can stay in business this way indefinitely. The first registrar they've purchased is TwoCows. They plan on naming the new merged company "A Fly on Two Cows". They were going to only buy one cow, but for all the bullcrap they pull, it will take at least two cows to produce that much manure.

Registerfly had made a hostile takeover offer for Godaddy, but Bob Parsons has been doing well enough to have bug zappers installed at their headquarters which stopped the flies from attacking. Bob also rejected the offer saying he couldn't merge with a company with pictures of stock photo models on it's web pages. He preferred photos of real women on his website. He also mentioned that even though his site's user interface sucks, it does at least work.

Registerfly is currently in talks with 000domains.com for the following merger after ICANN puts the two-cows out to pasture in 15 days. They thought that would be a fitting merger, because 000 was not only the amount of money they had left in their accounts, but was also the number of support representatives they plan on employing.

On these rumors of a comeback, registerfly has doubled the number of employees it's had over the last two weeks to two. The second one hired is a lawyer to defend the lawsuits and suck out any remaining money in legal fees to save the potentially devastating accounting costs of making refunds to customers, or hiring dozens of programmers to actually make their software work.

Moderators, you might want to move this to the Break Room after April 1st. I just thought I'd have a little April fools fun.

APRIL FOOLS !
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
However, I did find it strange that on April 1 ICANN hasn't removed them from their own list of accredited registrars, or at least put a note of decreditation. ICANN still shows registefly on their own list of accredited registrars:

LoL - at first im like "They mispelled Tucows!"

Than I realized that I fell for it.

In another funny note, I convinced a friend of mine that the Olive Garden down the street was on fire and burning down.... it was a good laugh for a few minutes.

Undeniably a good one. I saw the headline in the forum and was: "W T F ! !"
Logically, i started reading, as with many others Twocows stood out, then again, who hasn't goofed up on a name before...
The GD reference with the stock chics? Priceless!

Certainly for the victims of RF, not a funny situation, yet the creativity in this April Fools joke should be honored, at least with a smile :tu:
