I just accidentally reported you, qaisjp because I clicked the link and it went to a Phishing site and didn't check to see that you were who you were before clicking Report. So if you accidentally end up banished to the depths Hell, I apologize in advance.

This does bring up an interesting problem. Your game already has had its URL variations snapped up by spam and phishing sites. I hate when that happens. I lost a few of my own website URL's to that myself.

Oh. Could you point out those phishing sites? The one qaisjp linked to, concernedjoe.com, just seems to be a parked domain.

Your idea of phishing sites consists of a screenshot of a parked domain page?

EDIT: Also, I figured I'd delete your report.

The site showed up with a fake Chrome address bar at the top which is a common practice on phishing sites that usually try and hide the regular bar and fool people into using the fake one in the hopes people will lock themselves into a "fake internet" where they can supply their own fake versions of popular sites and capture personal information. Of course now that I want to reproduce it, it won't do it anymore. But it happened! Kate doesn't lie.

Haha it's okay.. I'm glad I wasn't banished
Anyway, how would concernedjoe.com be combat? buying it off the registrant?

Domain name squatting should be illegal and enforced to the highest extent of the law. They're done specifically to get money from people on the chance that someone might eventually need the domain. In this case it's to catch people typing the wrong URL, which is even worse. If someone other than the developers of the game buy that domain it could potentially be a mess if they decide to set up a fake "copy" of the real site where they have a payment system in place to get money from people who think they're purchasing the game. Especially if they set it up to capture the credit card information unsuspecting visitors might enter.

For example, pretending love2d.com didn't exist (It's a dance website which is why we're on .org right now) someone could buy all the non-owned versions of love2d, like .org and .com (If it didn't already exist) and set up a fake version of this site where they have a payment system set up like mentioned above.

I used to own jasoco.com, but one day my payment to NetworkSolutions didn't go through so they ended my account and sold the domain to one of those "parkers" who turned it into a porn-filled landing site. So I had to get jasoco.net from another company. (F**k you, Network Solutions. Never again.) I have since dropped all those sites and am actually trying to move away from the Jasoco moniker wherever possible. I don't have a website aside from my Tumblr and various other social media sites because really, in this day and age, it's all most of us need for the most part. But if I ever needed a domain to point to my Tumblr account I'd probably do it differently now.

Okay, long story over. Sorry. Return to your regularly scheduled discussion.

I tried hard not to open jasoco.com, but I gave in and opened it.
Where's the porn you promised me?

It was like 10 years ago. It's probably changed hands many times. If you really want the same kind of porn, just wait around this forum as an Inner Party member until the spambots do their rounds. Some is bound to come along eventually.

Or, you know, you could actually look on the internet for some, if you really want some porn.

What is this "internet" you speak of?
