I own “dwan.org.” I’ve decided that I want “dwan.com” and “dwan.net” as well. I’m not going to do anything unique with them, they’ll all just forward to dwan.org. They are currently registered to some dorks who haven’t done anything with them at all. I dropped a note to the technical contacts listed in the whois database, but I’m interested in applying a bit more pressure than all that. After all…they’re not even using the domains. One of them is a generic front page from a registration company, and the other doesn’t even answer pings. <\/p>\n

Anyone have any experience with online pressure tactics? Ideally, I’d send a couple of big thugs to their door with pliers, blowtorches, and a friendly offer to sell out…but both groups listed post office boxes. Ideas?<\/p>\n

Grrrrrr, once again the livejournal client that I use to edit these entries has overwritten the previous post with this one. It kept Mark’s comment intact though.
