And they didn't allow me to transfer one licence to another person a little earlier. And I own many of them! That's what I got for my loyalty.
Overall, I agree, a group of very very nice and generous people.
Best,

Only 2? How about 10? Anyway that's pretty good since you can get a domain for less then $10 nowadays.

Recently someone tried to give me one too, but was declined by vB. This was after I got one and I would've used the 2nd for another mboard.

Pretty nice
I've owned several in the past, and I now like the style of phpBB. I've got one remaining.

I just wonder to myself, it seems as though you were squatting that domain... looks like your sole purpose was to earn a few bucks trying to sell it back to vb.

"A bit ago I offered VBulletin VB3.net for free"
Read that quote a few times and it might sink in..you cannot imagine the excellent offers I had for that domain yet I waited three weeks for their response resisting the urge to sell, I have every email from them including the emails where they thank me for my generosity. In fact, because I have a couple of minutes spare and you are obviously an idiot, here is a segment of my original email to them;
"In short, if you would like the domain, trademarked or not, I am happy and willing to give it to you and I ask nothing in return (I don't like blackmailing/cybersqautting types)."
Do you understand what "nothing in return means" Iondrugs?
Do you see also Ionmedication that I mention my dislike for cybersqautting types? If you dislike them also then you must freakin love people like me right?...cause if one day someone has a domain that you want and you DONT EVEN HAVE IT TRADEMARKED OR COPYRIGHT IT guys like me will APPROACH YOU and OFFER IT TO YOU FOR FREE, would you like that Ionanotherplanet or would that piss you off.
VBulletin decided to reward my integrity and ethics knowing full well that they did not have to. Further, even if VBulletin did not want the domain, I still asked for permission to use it in that instance see the following quote from me to them..let me know if there is any big words I can help you with;
"1. I you guys are not interested in owning VB3.net is it ok if I sell or develop it?
2. If you guys do want VB3.net and it is trademarked...then let me know and I will hand it over.
3. If you guys do want VB3.net and it is NOT trademarked...then let me know and I will hand it over."
Does that sound like the demands of a cybersquatter Ionhead?
You want to challenge my ethics fool, check this thread;
http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showth...hreadid=269907
you can see that not only did I run a comp in which the winner got paid, but at the end of the comp I decided to pay the second place getter as well EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO SECOND PRIZE, it just felt like the right thing to do...still want to challenge my integrity Ionborrowedtime?
I just wonder to myself Ionacid if you understand that the same ignorance, presumptuousness and stupidity that characterises your typical cybersqautter was just all displayed by you in your clumsy ridiculous post............fool.www.skatersforum.com

I have replied. Not long words. Simply, flaming.
For misreading the original post, I get insulted. Simply emphasing that you said "free" would have sufficed.
Through that post, you gained no respect whatsoever.
Btw, he not she.

thanx
Not angry because you misread the post at all, to err is human, I understand....just that you decided to jump to conclusions and smear my name on these boards by your thinly disguised accusation and make me feel like an idiot. I f you feel like a fool now so be it ( bet you dont though do you), by the way apology accepted..Oh wait you did not apologise, lemme guess your not the type to apologise when s/he is wrong are you, or you will have some childish excuse as to why it is not warranted.
