What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?

[MapleDots]

I'm catching the tail end of this, seems to be some kind of controversy...

https://domaingang.com/domain-news/rob-monster-off-twitter-after-christchurch-massacre-controversy/

Must be something odd to evoke this type of a response from one of our members.

 

[dirk]

It's easy. But not on an Internet Forum.

Agreed. It's not that easy in real life actually. I've been trying to reach out for semantics like this in various occasions but I guess he's been busy with things that actually matter

 

[dirk]

CyberBunker would not have been impressed by these pics, or the things you're stating about "Network Routers and Border Gateway Protocol".

Someone knows what he's talking about

In another word: False Advertisement.

It's the same as promising the following on https://www.epik.com/tld/truth

Higher Search Engine Rankings

They still haven't fixed this? Has been pointed out a gazillion times.

Honestly, I don't understand why a company with a lot of potential and even network routers (!) is making such absurd statements that are very easy to debunk. Snake oil.

I invite you to name another company. Let the people know a specific presently existing organization besides Epik that checks all of these boxes today:

- Registry
- Registrar
- Hosting Provider
- Network Routers and Border Gateway Protocol
- Content Delivery Network
- Denial of Service Mitigation
- Intermedia root certificate authority
- Virtual Private Network

Seriously, bring the entity and the proof that they cover the above list and I will happily retract my statement.

It serves a purpose. Won't go into detail but yes, I agree.

OVH? Just guessing here.

 

[dirk]

They tick every box except for the RC. But you're just basically reselling so does that really count?

 

[johnn]

Lying is a habit.
A disease can be cured but a habit cannot.

Be humble - People know when you are lying.
An Ant wanted to be an Elephant - I don't need to prove it. Everyone know it.

 

[dirk]

Besides, are you a registry? What TLD? Not trying to be negative, just didn't know.

 

[dirk]

And yes Rob, OVH is an actual registry running a ngTLD.

Since when is Epik a registry? What TLD's do you control or operate?

 

[johnn]

Epik is bigger (lying) than Google.
A good laugh for the weekend.

 

[Future Sensors]

Since when is Epik a registry? What TLD's do you control or operate?

Probably for the alternative root tld .truth.

It's like signing your own certificates.

 

[Rob Monster]

Besides, are you a registry? What TLD? Not trying to be negative, just didn't know.

We run our own registry software in addition to registrar software. For the time being it is focused on powering ALT TLDs. No decision made on whether to acquire a gTLD or ccTLD, but if someone has a registry, we can power it today. You can see it in action on Epik if you go buy a Us.Tv

This is done with a second level TLD but it could just as soon power a gTLD and ccTLD as a fully operational registry. The technology is fully mature and commercially operating for registries.

 

[topdom]

Is Epik a registry? For which tld (or am I mising something).

No claim can be made about search engine rankings, even for tlds which resolve normally,
because search engines can do whatever they want.
