Dodgy there's been a few domains that pricked my ears including a well known banks .info it's just something i wouldn't touch with a barge pole .

Anyone In the uk knows that Halifax has been a major brand in the uk for decades and there is also a town called Halifax that existed before the brand I'd have thought pre b o s ownership of Halifax

So as I wasn't prepared to keep clicking on websites I still don't know the basics

Eg

Diversity bought the domain for 175k? I

Is diversity a b o s and Co?

How did b o s lose something they didn't own?

They did own it?

When did they buy it?

Still none the wiser

From what im reading there team made a cock up and forgot to renew the domain after aquiring Halifax which in turn cost them the money. Again im not sure if they assumed the owned the trademarked Halifax which is why they hesitated or completly let it slide. Interesting though simple as letting an extremly important domain dropping to the cost of 175 K . :D Fuck em its the banks anyways

Mind you they have a few quid

So they let it slip after paying the 175k?

Who owns it now?

Diversity or bos?
