Thread: Name change?

I found mine in the spam folder. But lucky enough, a member told me where to go. And it didnt end "LL".

I didn't need it but now found it. After reading this I found it.

Not all Spam is Spam.....

I'm going to venture a guess about the technical and legal issues.

Note the following WHOIS information:

Domain: straightrazorplace.com
Registrar: GoDaddy.com, LLC
Registration Date: 2004-02-03
Expiration Date: 2019-09-01
Updated Date: 2015-07-06
Status:
clientDeleteProhibited
clientRenewProhibited
clientTransferProhibited
clientUpdateProhibited

These codes are explained here: https://www.icann.org/resources/page...-2014-06-16-en

clientDeleteProhibited:
"This status indicates that it is not possible to delete the domain name registration, which can prevent unauthorized deletions resulting from hijacking and/or fraud. If you do want to delete your domain, you must first contact your registrar and request that they remove this status code."
No big deal

clientRenewProhibited:
"This status code tells your domain's registry to reject requests to renew your domain. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes or when your domain is subject to deletion."

clientTransferProhibited
"This status indicates that it is not possible to transfer the domain name registration, which will help prevent unauthorized transfers resulting from hijacking and/or fraud. If you do want to transfer your domain, you must first contact your registrar and request that they remove this status code."
No big deal.

clientUpdateProhibited
"This domain name status indicates that it is not possible to update the domain, which can help prevent unauthorized updates resulting from fraud. If you do want to update your domain, you must first contact your registrar and request that they remove this status code."
This is OK, but that may mean that it is not possible to change your IP (e.g. change hosting) easily.

The most likely option is that the original .com was registered to a person (not an entity) who's not willing or capable of paying the renewal fees for the moment. It can go from a private dispute, stuck in hospital with no power of attorney, or all the way to a complex inheritance. I rather hope its none of the latter options.

A less likely option is that the "person who did the registration" wanted to sell the domain to somebody else. I'm putting it between quotes because a hacker might have impersonated that person.

A final less likely option is that someone registered a trademark for 'straight razor place' and is trying to leverage that to take the .com from us. I'm not gonna check the trademark registries, but there's always an issue of jurisdiction where the trademark is registered.

P.S. I hope we won't need to fundraise to hire lawyers!

I'd have to say, interesting information.

But seriously guys, I don't believe digging into this is really all that important.
What is important, is the community staying together and enjoying the place we have to talk about all of our interests. The most important one, Straight Razors!!!

Shave on

Well-said, Dieseld! We are not here to do anything other than participate and make this the premiere straight razor/shaving forum.

Any actions/decisions by the powers that be are simply none of our business. JMHO

Things are working smoothly!

I feel so regal in this new palace...

A mans shave cave IS his palace after all!
Shave on men!

Never received the email about the move. I even checked my spam. But then again, I'm pretty new here. Luckily I found it.

Same here. My computer is smarter than me and managed to find the new location on it's own.

If you have a POP account like I do the ISP sometimes filters spam that will not get to my email client.
