Tragic domains

[Keynes]

It's unfortunate, but a number of people focus on domains related to tragedies such as the recent VT shooting:

I called one of the registrants of these "tragic" domains. I left a message on his VM because he was kind enough not to make his info private. I hope he gets more phone calls with people telling him how dispicable he is.

Nice approach. To each his/her own but sometimes we just gotta give it a rest. This is not a Hollywood media circus. This is a tradgedy on a grand scale.

Agreed, and I also dont have a problem with the first amendment, Im all for people saying what they want - freedom of speech, but if you want to write or post something like that, trying to profit from it - Im going to let you know exactly how I feel about it....

Normally I dont feel the need to scold people who I feel do immoral things - because Im sure I do things that others would find Immoral - but to the degree this was done, and how strongly I feel about it - I had to say something.

I live about an hour and a half away but work at a hospital perhaps 1 hour away. A co-worker has two children living on campus. The son was in lock down in the dorm of the first incident. Daughter was in class across from Norris Hall. They heard pop, pop, pop sounds (as she described it) but had no idea what it was, saw people jumping out of windows, the pops sounds kept going on and they were still looking out the to see what all the commotion was about. It finally dawned on them what was happening when they saw SWAT teams and police with guns drawn running to the scene.

I really just couldn't imagine someone would register such domains and let alone trying to make profit from it.

Get over it.

Simply pathetic.

Get over it.

I am so over it. I am ordering about 1000 20-round 9mm magazine clips clips at $9.99 each. The last time congress passed an assault weapons ban, AR15 30 round clips were going for $125 each. Now that the focus has shifted to large capacity magazine clips, these will perhaps acheive the same figure. Talk about capitalizing.

By the way, I see your avatar you are in Japan? Japan get over the earthquake that killed thousands in Kobe? And damn nice of Japan to finally admit and apologize for the sex slave trade. I am sure I can find some stunning domains relating to this.

domains about tragedies make good money, really good
BUT is it ethical to make money over them ? it is grey, and very close to black

 

[kemjika11]

Get over it.

i agree with you for the most part. Its already happened, there's nothign you can really do about this situation. I think its slightly unethical to go get domains after tragedies, but its business and its money.

Do you think this advertiser is happy to appear with these keywords on virginia tech massacre dot ws?:

They have courses on everything, nowadays, I guess, though I would bet that CourseAdviser.com would object to paying for that particular PPC traffic stream.

Not sure if you're surmising that I am of the Japanese heritage. I'm American.

What is unfortunate is that you are a useless loser. Get a life you god-damn robot. You pay the bills for NBC and FOX and you don't even realize it. You probably buy Tide at the grocery store because of the Ads.

Leave this board. Your opinions are garbage.

I have a feeling your not going to be here very long.

Get over it. You seem to want me and the others to "get over it" when I have close ties to that school.

I thought a better idea was to instead of "getting over it", how about join it.

I have regged 51 domains before anyone else could get to them and redirected every one of them here:

http://www.vt.edu/tragedy/memorial_fund.php

It is the official website of Virginia Tech.

I am so over it.

I noticed that there is increased traffic to my site
http://upva.com

I regged it long before the event. I did not hack the domain to blow.upva.com or shoot.upva.com,
I don't think it is moral to profit from it.
