RegisterFlies

I thought I kept myself well informed of trends and news on the Internet, but now I feel like a dummy, a moron, not in touch with reality. Today I ran into a website called registerflies. This is a website dedicated to people who are victimized by RegisterFly. RegisterFly is the registar who managed the linkagogo.com domain. From reading this site I understand this may affect upto 2 million domain names.

I can’t believe after looking at this website and the stories of all the folks that are victimized by registerfly, that I only found out this week what was going on. The sad part is that there will still be people who won't know and will buy new domains or renew their domains and lose their money.

I placed calls, send email, filed support tickets and the result so far is zip. Noone can help me at the moment to regain control over the linkagogo.com domain.

- Registerfly does not respond on my emails, calls or service tickets.
- ICANN forwards my complaints to RegisterFly
- Other Registars like GoDaddy can only help when RegisterFly cooperates.
- Dyndns.org who did the naming service for linkaGoGo says that ICANN is no longer pointing traffic at linkagogo.com.

ICANN apparently filed a lawsuit against RegisterFly to handover all the domains and contact information, so that the can hand it over to another Registar to clean up the mess. If none of the other actions taken succeed, this may be the last resort.

So while this is going on decided to move the whole website over to linkagogo.net. So at least it is accessible for existing members. At the moment there is a mass mail running to inform all the linkaGoGo members of this change. I included a link to opt-out if you are not interested in that kind of information.

Since our regular support email does not work, made the support@linkagogo.net available. Also if you have problems getting your ‘Add to linkaGoGo’ buttons to work you can find the updated ones under Options / Setup.
