So ebaum messaged me a few minutes ago and he's telling me to take down http://ebaumsworldsucks.com, now I'm not really having a problem with removing the actual site and just forwarding to newgrounds but he told me to forward it to his site. That he would own it in 72 hours so it didn't even matter.

So what should I do, and I don't want you people to just give me a bunch of bullshit and just make a big flame thread. I want to hear actual ideas and if you don't have anything new to say don't bother telling me.

thanks...

What power does he have to tell you to forward it to his site? It's your domain. Forward it to Newgrounds and give him the finger.

Or you could just do what he asks, but that wouldn't be fun at all.

Yeah, does the lease run out on the domain or something? I mean that just doesn't seem very credible otherwise. Personally I say keep the domain exactly how it is, gently caress Bauman.

If he's going to own it in 72 hours does it matter what you do? Just ignore it.

Courts have already rules that "domainnamesucks.com" are legal. Go to bestbuysucks.com or paypalsucks.com I think they have all of the legalese stuff on their sites when the original companies tried to sue them.

What are you planning to do with the site anyway?
Edit: Maybe it's because you have this notice on the site: "If you are the original creator of website mocked in this animation and want it removed, please contact my rear end."

He's the original creator of ebaumsworld so now he's contacting your rear end.

He has no grounds at all, or else all the other "sucks" sites would be gone. Why would you even forward it to Newgrounds? Leave it the way it is and tell him to gently caress off.

I don't feel like being an rear end in a top hat, and telling him to gently caress himself only makes the outcome worse.

Listen, if it's your morals that are hurting here, sell one of us the domain and we'll tell him to go gently caress himself for you. Seriously, he's a douche bag, that's why there's a site with a song and dance describing this. That you paid for.

Just politely tell him no. I'd go ahead and offer him the rights to host your flash too, just to be nice.
