Cosie - you have my email addresses, you can pm me on Oople, why don't you try doing that, rather than continue to attack me on a forum where I can't respond.

Sarah, to address your concern about not being able to respond, then why not respond on here?
I will be happy to add a link to this topic on uk-microrc.co.uk so that people can read your perspective on the domain registration.

You know, the first thing I heard about all this blowing up was when someone pm'ed me on here saying I'd pist off Cosie. I had no idea what he was talking about, but checked his forum to see if he'd posted anything there, and sure enough, a rant aimed in my direction, rather than contacting me directly, and the usual suspects joining in in slagging me off.

I don't want to say too much right now, and am just seeing how things play out at the mo'.

This is a public forum, and you can respond here just fine.
Can you explain why you have registered domain names that are very similar to the UK-microrc.co.uk domain name please? :confused:

maybe
 

You probably cant without looking a bit sad and pathetic.:thumbdown:

No I can't, because it was 18 months or so ago, and I honestly can't remember.

David, let's stay civil please!

Sarah, if you can't remember and have no use for it, then would you have any objections to transferring it to c0sie (if he still wants it) provided you were reimbursed the cost of the standard registration fee?

That way everyone will be happy:thumbsup:

Earlier in the day, I was considering that as an option, but just look at what's been posted about me, that's pist me right off.

Then show everyone that you're bigger than that and rise above it.
What can they say then other than you were reasonable?

Im interested to hear why on earth you registered the domain name uk-microrc.com back in April 2010?

You have been a member of the UK-MicroRC forum since August 2006, only 18 months after the forum was created, and you are fully aware that the domain name for that forum is uk-microrc.co.uk. You are also well aware that UKMicroRC is often used to describe and discuss my forum.

I wasnt actually aware that you were the registrant of the .com domain name until today, I have been waiting for years for that domain to become free and its been registered to you since April 2010. In that time you have done nothing productive with the domain at all other that load up a really bad looking and unfinished website on to it before removing it recently, so obviously you have no genuine need for the domain?

Im very interested to hear your rationale behind buying the domain name. You must have known at the time of purchase that the domain name itself was exactly the same as the domain name I use on the "micro forum"? I personally believe that you deliberately bought the domain name purely to stop me from buying that name and registering it to myself, another feather in your cap on your campaign towards me?

I look forwards to your reply. Remember, you have my email address and you can PM me if you wish.

If any of you oOple-ites actually care, the thread in question is here:
http://www.uk-microrc.co.uk/forum/in...howtopic=16884

I suggest you re-read post number 5.

Also, it has been suggested to me by a few people that I give over ownership of the domain name to you, something I had been considering.

Fwiw, I didn't remove anything from the website, I was just letting it go and I had let the hosting run out on it.

Why don't you try being a bit nicer to people, and then you might have people treating you a bit nicer.

Will you to either sort out your differences, or stop trying to score points and pretending each other is the victim and it is all the other's fault?? Your bitching isn't even funny to read any more!!

Chris, if you want it, make him an offer, Sarah, if it is reasonable, take it, then you can both be seen as sensible!! Otherwise you both look petty. Who gives a toss WHY she registered it....

Domain Name.
 

Well, as a total stranger to this, I've read all the posts on this.
It seems that there is an underlining reason she did that. But this interests me, by Davidmog99 >> I know you probably havent done anything really bad to her <<. So it appears you both have history against each other? In any event, this kind of situation happens every day. One person wants something but another beats them to it to make sure they dont get it, and or, to have it for their own use. In this case I agree that it was an underhanded act. However, slanging each other off on either forum, or in public, will not solve the situation.
If Sarah really does not need the domain name, why dont you BOTH print an apology to each other, with a retraction of any warranted or un-warranted accusations. Plus as someone has already posted, buy it from Sarah, for the actual cost, plus an additional cost for her to purchase another.
This is just my own personal opinion.
Its easier to work it out!!

Steve, with all due respect, its got sod all to do with you.
Sarah's posted here, im replying. If you have a problem with that then I suggest you stop reading this thread or report this thread to Jimmy to close or leave be. With all due respect intended.

Sarah, that domain has 8 months remaining and at a cost of £20+vat for the 2 year registration period id be happy to offer you the £8.60+vat that is remaining on that registration.

Just seen DMC's post.....BANG ON!!!!!

Welcome to the forum, it gets crazy in here at times :)

So I see. :drool:

I think at the time, I bought the domain name to have an online shop just doing micro stuff. The hosting package I got wasn't the best and then I just didn't do anything with it, and haven't for over a year.

Pissing Cosie off wasn't the idea, even if that really didn't bother me at the time whether he was or not. If you want the domain Cosie, why don't you start with an apology, and also by removing my address details from your forum.

At least no matter what happens, you'll never tell a soul that oOple is a boring place :)

I think Sarah has just started dialog to ending this guys, take up her request...... its a start to the end. :thumbsup:

Using exactly the same name as my forum? Really? And you never once thought "you know..some people might pick up on the fact that its exactly the same name as that micro forum"?

Just as an FYI, I do want the domain name, and I have made you an offer above. You sort the transfer over and I will gladly forward you payment.

As for the address details, more than happy to remove the entire post from the micro forum once the transfer is complete, but are you aware that you registered that domain name and didnt set your details to private? You can go onto whois.com, lcn.com etc and anyone can find those details.

Just incase you were not aware.

I still don't see an apology and I don't trust you as far as I can throw you, so try again.

Indeed! A happy resolution and everyone is a winrar.

Sarah, let me know if you are willing to accept my offer, if so get everything in place and I will transfer payment over once everything is "signed, sealed and delivered", and then I will gladly delete the thread on the micro forum and we can be on our seperate ways.

Im rather confused as to what you are asking me to apologise for?

For wanting the domain name?

As for the "not trusting me bit", well, I would imagine that if I try and swindle you out of the grand sum of £8.50+VAT that you could come here and on to all the other RC forums that you frequent and tell the world what an arsehole I am.

Sounds fair doesnt it?

Well it seems you think you're one of those people who doesn't do anything wrong. I've given you chance to apologise for posting me address on a public forum, for continuing to slag me off and allowing the members of your forum to do the same, and the general crap I've had from you and your friends over the past few years.

I think I'll just sell it to a spam company that sells viagra :lol:

OMG... are you to nuts?
Cosie, why dont you just apologise?
Sarah, then you do the same!!
Neither may like it or even mean it, but its a start.
Then cosie, give the payment to someone you BOTH trust, via paypal or alike. Sarah does the transfer then she gets paid..... how hard can you two make it?

Damn, Can't delete only edit!

Oh Sarah, im well aware of my faults. I am the small minded Chairman after all :) and damned proud of that title :)


How about this though,

Ill pay you for the domain name as per my original email.
Once that entire process is complete Ill remove the entire thread from the micro forum.

We will agree to disaree and we will probably continue to keep people amused on oOple with our non-offensive banter...cos after all, we might disagree but we are civil people :)

How is that any different to what you suggested before?

How about firstly, you apologise, secondly, you unban me from the micro forum

Do this, and instead of giving the domain name over to you, I'll put a holding page in place, with a link to the micro forum.

Sorry Sarah, but as I mentioned to you before, I want the domain name, not a holding link, sorry.

I tell you what Sarah, for the sake of me getting more f*****g annoyed with various different people, Ill PM you in the interests of decorum.

Fine, I'll keep it and renew when it's time to, no skin of mine.

Oh I give up
Sarah, you are coming across as unreasonable - I've tried mediating, I've even mildly moderated the posts you are complaining about, but I really can't be bothered anymore.

Listen everyone, I'm sorry this thread has gone how it has. I deliberately didn't post anything here, with the intention of giving Cosie enough chance to do the right thing and contact me privately, and all he and his friends have done is slate me and resorted to name calling,
(read the posts here if you don't belive me http://www.uk-microrc.co.uk/forum/in...0&#entry144735 )

If he'd have just asked nicely if he could have the domain in the first place, then I probably would have said yes, and transferred it for whatever the cost was.

+1..

at the end of the day its a free world
any body can register a domain name, no one needs permission

Hey guys please be civil, I don't want daft arguments dragged over here from elsewhere.

Exactly, working in this industry every day you see plenty of people buying domain names nothing to do with them. If the UK Micro place was a shop and Sarah had bought the domain to redirect then i could see it slightly differently, jack diddly you can do about making someone to transfer a domain. If she had posted up pictures of you which were inappropriate or slagging you off directly then yes maybe, until then nothing at all.

I dont understand why its not redirected to something though, would make sense to use the domain for some use

PS - just registering ooople.com too :lol::lol: - /jokes

oople.xxx is available - imagine the logo.......brilliant.

It a free world regarding domains. Companies/People buy domains just to sell them on for profit all the time.

Although there's only 8 months left to run Sarah also has the first refusal on renewal.

At least your in contact with the current owner and will hopefully be able to thrash out some kind of deal regarding the transfer. But £8 for a dotcom you really want.......
