AuctionAds.org - what should I do with it?

    I own auctionads.org and I'm not really sure what to do with it. AuctionAds is a registered trademark, so I have to be careful how I use it. I would really like a community / forum, but dont have the time to moderate it. Something that is easy / quick to update would be perfect. Thanks.

    I think Forum is a good idea all you can do is Hire some trusted people and pay them to moderate the forum ;)
    Nice name of the domain too :D

    I am surprised Shoemoney didn't pick up the .org. He is the one who owns that .com and the business behind it.

    So since you have to be careful, you can't have some sort of auctioning ad system? Like a service where people can auction off ad space in their site?

    I would imagine that AuctionAds.com owns the trademark so I believe the OP would be violating the TM by setting up a similar site

    If anything I would donate it. Ive already offered to redirect it. Im not one who likes to directly profit off anothers intellectual property.

    The best that you can do is simply let it expire naturally, -$10 reg fee lost is not a big lose compared with legal trouble.

    Im not going to just let it drop... Id donate it before giving it up to the public, and Im not TOO concerned with legal troubles.

    Donate it to the owner of the intellectual property :) or try to exchange the domain with shoemoney for something you need.

    Honestly, that is what Ill probably end up doing (donating). I can think of much uses for it... just seeing if I (we) could come up with something. Thanks.

    It was a private conversation, but I can say I was not looking to sell it to him / directly profit off of it.
