Sounds like you fucked up, tbh, you should've bought the domain even if not intending to use it, just for brand safety

    I couldn't agree more.

    I spent almost a year getting my ducks in a row to sue and reclaim the domain

    The cost in time and resources for all of that, vs just registering the domain in the first place. 🙄

    We burned a lot of midnight oil on that company. It was a early data analytics type venture that was fun, but had a lot of long nights. We had an ethical spin from the ground up which, in hindsight, is not really the direction the Internet wanted to take.

    It was a great bunch of folks though. We keep in touch now and then.

    Haha! Yeah we sure did.

    It was a small startup in, gosh, 1999-2000 when the net was a new frontier. Lessons were learned. It's since been acquired and folded into other businesses. The domain is still in my name with a very basic static page.
