[QUOTE="Sebastrd, post: 5836146, member: 21473"] If anyone's curious, here's some email traffic between myself and Hillside games since last night. My initial message to Hillside Games:[sblock]Dear Hillside Games, Your recent actions with regard to The Wyvern's Tale are deplorable. Cybersquatting on your competitors' domain name may have seemed a clever tactic initially, but I hope you have realized by now that it was extremely short-sighted, not to mention illegal. However, attempting to silence the resulting outcry from the community is even worse. And threatening to sue for libel is nothing short of ludicrous. Might I suggest that at your earliest possible convenience you: 1) Make a public and heartfelt apology for you are most definitely in the wrong 2) Make arrangements to relinquish your claim to your competitors' domain names 3) Hire competent legal council to advise you on the niceties of such legal terms as libel I can assure you that at this point I will never do business with your establishment. Please, do not have a nice day.[/sblock] Their reply:[sblock]I appreciate your comments over email instead of my Facebook page. Allowing for more than a business day to deal with such matters is frequently necessary. As matters proceed forward please note that according to ICANN policy domain names can not be released for 60 days after registration. We are not ignoring the issue, I can assure you. However this barrage of attacks is serving to do nothing except inflame a situation that was actually going to be resolved quite peacefully before this all began had we been given more than 1 business day to respond to the initial message. The barrage of emails and Facebook messages I/we have received have been both threatening and harassing. You however seem to be a competent and reasonable Individual. I am sure that my reply to you will be relayed back. If this barrage of attacks stops on our pages we will be able to enter into a proper discourse with the individual's that we actually need to talk with. Hillside Games[/sblock] My reply, and probably end of the coversation:[sblock]Amanda, I appreciate your reply, and can very much appreciate your situation. I'm sure the rapidity and intensity of the response was unexpected and overwhelming. I sincerely hope that you find a way to resolve the situation.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
