Personally, I really really really want to own http://up.dog/ but it’s already taken (and not even used, what a waste!)

    I won’t say it publicly or someone will take it! But I don’t like this pay to win domain system we have now anyway

      I got the .net and .org of my last name, and offered $50 to the owner of the .com as he wasn’t doing anything with it. Kind of a lowball, admittedly, but I would’ve gone up to a hundred or two. Instead, he told me it was worth thousands, which, lol, but then he didn’t renew it, which I only found out because a random third person reached out to me as the owner of the .net offering me the .com. Turns out they hadn’t actually bought it yet, though, so instead I scooped it up and now I’ve got the trifecta!

      I think you’d loose ownership over the domain because you own it explicitly to take it hostage before facebook.
      And because they have a trademark I think they could seize it.
      Probably except if you have something like the matching initials or other reasons for why you’d have a right to it.

      But I don’t know if that is true.
