You know, bad-faith registrations like that are technically illegal.

No, seriously doubt this. Otherwise domain 'squatters' wouldn't exist.

[Sensei]

I think he means the forum registration. But as far as I'm aware it's not a crime to violate a website's TOS nor is it a crime to pretend to be an anonymous person other than yourself on the internet. The worst the website can do is ban you.

[Sowelu]

No, I mean the domain registration.  There's tons of squatters, yes, but when they get challenged in court, they lose.

Though it does come down to trademarks for the most part, and he probably doesn't have one, because he's a moron...  Like I said, it's a "bad faith" thing.  Multiple people can have legitimate claims to a name, but if you can show that you violated a trademark intentionally and in bad faith, then you have no right to that domain.

[Sensei]

For what it's worth, they probably only chose it as a result of traffic reaching a certain threshold. I dunno if that counts as bad faith or not, and I doubt (though it's possible) that Bunky had copyrighted it.

[MrWiggles]

For the matter of domian name, copy right doesnt matter really. Titles cant be copy righted.

For this in particular, its trademark that matter. Trademark and market recognition, and market confusion.

FORUM MEMBERSHIP APPROVED.

Apparently "DrakeBluehorns" is legit.

THE BLUEHORNS ARMY MARCHES AT DAWN!

Er, ok, after breakfast.

[Karlito]

Well, apparently the dragon girl is in fact, just a dragon girl with goat parts.

The dragon girl is a mix of human, elf, dragon, and goat. :-) Just to give a taste of what you will be able to create.

   I don't blame him, he is just doing whats been "working" so well for him so far. Taking other ideas the good, the bad, and the awesome and then mashing them together in the same way a medieval person would make hotdogs.

And the taste is FOUL. FOUL.

it includes bits of actual dog meat

   I think I just thought of something. The Dragoagir is like a chimera where the lion was removed for a girl because the lion was to manly to stick boobs on.

[SirAaronIII]

It could have been replaced with a female lion... nah, too sensible.

Better than having a male with boobs though. I remember seeing this animated movie about a cow who partied hard in the barnyard or something, and he had an udder. I couldn't stop looking at the udder. Why did he have an udder.

The thing that worries about a movie, where barnyard animals are sapient, walk on two legs and lead secret lives and can operate motor cycles is that the male cows (yes male cows, not bulls) have udders? oO

Ugh, just what we need, more gamification bullshit. *grumbles about excessive extrinsic motivation destroying intrinsic motivation*

Gamification isn't a bad thing.
It's just that people see it as a buzzword, hop on the wagon and then act surprised when it doesn't actually go anywhere.
or fumble the execution of it so badly that they end up putting a bullet through their nose.

Yoga: the facebook game. Seriously, wtf?

Aaaaand here is where I give up.
Later folks, call me back in when the stupid has stopped.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Not calling you back Mattie but just informing you that you just asked for mankind to stop being stupid. Not one person but mankind as a whole. I held fantasies of such a thing but I was also imagining I was the only person left and then I realized that would just make me the stupidest human alive.
