Post Markits Counterfeited

Crackdown Fails to Stem Counterfeit Username
by Johnny Wu

IDN — On just about any busy city street in China, nothing seems as real as a fake username-brand bargain. Foreigners and other shoppers quickly get used to hearing counterfeiters chant, "Alphamale, Markits, Rubber Duck."

The Chinese government says it's cracking down, reportedly seizing 39 fake usernames products in the first month of 2008. But China's battle against username pirates has a long way to go.

Asked if she feels bad about buying domains from fake usernames at hundreds or even thousands of dollars off their retail price, Jones says, "No, not at all. When I see the price difference, I don't really care."

Re: Markits Counterfeited

I am now afraid to make any new posts. There are loads of shitty posts that seem to be associated with my id.

Currently logged in members include "rubberDick", "alphamaleaslpic", etc.

Is this forum dying off? Should we officially move to dnlocal or idnpros?

You cannot be serious about IDN pros?

RD, it is up to you to say where we should go now. If you tell us that we all should move to dnlocal, I think most here will follow.

Re: Markits Counterfeited

Can we use vbulletin template for dnlocal? All of us can contribute a little for the fees and conversion cost.

Re: Markits Counterfeited

Well I am out of here very shortly, and I will be at DNLocal.

If it does not work as public forum, we will turn it into a private board.

What I am not going to tolerate is persistent disruption as we have had here. I don't mind people telling me I am wrong, but sustained personal attacks and endless rubbish will get you banned.

I am not convinced that this is necessary, but it is an option. I am happy to start with a clean sheet as long as Jose is happy to Administer it. Please start a thread at the existing forum and I we monitor opinion on that one.
