Well, Godaddy made me eat my words

You could say I was shocked when I woke up tonight and recieved an e-mail from GoDaddy. Appearantly, they had successfully acquired my domain name, theanime.net. Here is what the e-mail said:

Dear Kyle Korleski,

Congratulations! The following domain name(s) that you backordered was successfully captured:

THEANIME.NET

Once again, congratulations. And, if you need any further assistance or technical support, call us at (480) 505-8877 day or night, or email us at support@godaddy.com. We appreciate your business!

Sincerely,
GoDaddy.com DomainAlert team

You wouldn’t believe how happy that makes me ^_^. I will be working on a temporary holder page so when the nameservers update, that’s what you will see. I hope you have a fun time and if you want to yell at anyone, yell at the jerks from information.com, name.com and domaindoorman.com. They used a strategy to get my domain name without ever having to pay for it. You can find out more about that strategy and how to stop it at http://www.bobparsons.com/adddropscheme.html. I can assure you that after the hell I went through, ICANN got my 2 cents about this.

    When I was looking up possible domain names, I got at least 5 ‘this site has been reserved for blah blah by Go Daddy!’ ;_; Thank you for the interesting link.
