I own RealtorsGeorgia.com and had a site up for over a year with that URL before I got my letter from the NAR. Nothing like going after the dues paying members for ridiculous stuff like this.

Tons more we let lapse :) Some domains we’ve developed, very few are parked, some we’re just holding on to because we think they will have some value in the future (whether we sell them or develop them).

I just want to ask you, if you have alot of domains, what will you do? Developing a website? Or parked? If you develop by yourself, wow.. it takes alot of time dud, and also money. But if you park it, well... it's useless. Wow.. that was a lot of money… I just want to ask you, if you have alot of domains, what will you do? Developing a website? Or parked?

In a different situation, how could you know all trademark names before you get a domain? it sounds ridiculous.. if assocations don't want their names taken, they should find a different method to prevent people taking those domains. wow! it is actually scary..

If you used it to create a site similar to digg, or (as i have seen for some google domains) framed the orignal site with your own ads, they have every right to come after you. to reassert what the above poster said; if you registered diggdiggdigg.com and used it to create a site dedicated to archeology, digg.com would have no legal recourse to come after you.
