    If that is in fact the case then they are in a huge legal liability position. There potential loss of business is not justification to prevent people form moving their property.

    abuzant, since you are asking for opinions i'll give you mine. I think you should leave registerfly alone and worry about your domains instead of taking legal action. Registerfly has enough to deal with, than to have people threaten lawsuits. I think it would be not only a foolish waste of time but a money loss too. Curious how it goes

    No offense man, but it is people like you that allow companies like RF to do these things. They have a contractual obligation to provide the service for which they were paid.

    It's fine if you wish to do so out of principle. But it makes little to no sense to
    engage in such if you're after monetary damages and eventually end up with
    nothing.

    Whether to spend your time, money and effort into a lawsuit depends on how
    you feel about it, and how and what's important for you. Definitely only you'll
    decide.

    Life's full of risks. You win some, you lose some.

    But again, you decide.

    This is true but to simple throw up your hands in defeat before any action is no a healthy approach: not for you nor for your fellow man.

    Depends what your losses are. What do you have, thousands of names with them?

    Let's face it, people wanting to take legal action against Registerfly are more concerned in taking advantage of the company's situation that in the real fate of their domains.

    You know, the easy way to make a fortune is file a class action lawsuit so they don't care paying lawyers and wasting time if at the end of the road the gold pot is waiting them.

    This is very exciting and I hope ICANN will suffer as well as registerfly.

    THEY BOUGHT the accreditation using a backdoor. They didn't even notify Ican that there was a change in management. Icann is not responsible. I think we should all do a class action lawsuit since I also own 100 domains One was infoaboutinfo.info and a few others I relay liked and had potential

    Who sent you this?

    I was just about to signup when I decided to do a quick WHOIS and it's using GoDaddys "Domains By Proxy" service to hide details.

    Safe?

    It was sent to me by Registerflies.com. I trust Registerflies, but I don't know any more than you with regard to the class action folks.

    I'd be interested to know the outcome of all of this. I've opened another thread on similar lines although not quite the same. Someone is using my domain name and one of my company names - in fact, the wording of my listing, for a premium rate number that earns 60p a minute for BT. It's a chat line so whoever has it could be making 60p a minute times 20 every minute of every day. And none of the links to my sites work!! I've had to take my premium rate lines offline in case I face a fine but even if I hadn't no-one headed a listing with one of my numbers. Obviously, how you fared with Registerfly may impact on my instinct to fight for something I built up.:cool:

    Seen this on their site:

    Maybe you could contact ICANN about it..

    Don't know if this is relevant but I also went onto the whois recently for information and got this message along with info I wanted telling me that domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
    with many different competing registrars and to get further info at internic.net
