    Weird, does not load for me no matter what I do, which is also good, such sites are not worth visiting anyway. Maybe I have a smart browser :)

    Its a big business of buying and parking domain names, except to see more of it happening.

    Hell I've just been setting them up as sites with a price tag. When I get bored I'll add some content and let them age like fine wine. My asking price and e-mail are on most of mine.

    Even if you just let them age it is pointless, there is no PR on Parked Domains I heard.

    Also yes, I agree to what most people said, I hate parked Domains. Most of the 3 letter .coms are parked when I look around. Pointless.

    I personally think to own a .com you should have a Tax ID as it is commercial, and for people who don´t have a Tax ID let them have something like .pvt for private. I think it´d work out pretty well. Put all those parked domains on pvt and let the real webmasters do their jobs, It´d also open up alot of .coms. :)

    just my 2 cents though.

    Shouldn't there be a lawsuit against parking a domain for more than a certain period of time. After a certain period (like 12 months) the domain should be made available again by the concerned authorities. Pretty wild idea, but who knows...

    Not so wild, maybe - remember about 10 years ago when the courts started ruling that you couldn't squat trademarked domains, like McDonalds.com or whatever (I think that was a big case). This would be harder to justify, I mean how do you define a parked domain? But who knows...

    Yes, I agree, it is a PAIN in the neck... Just for fun, try ANY possible corruption or mistype of google.com - I defy you to find a free domain!
