His email is: FranciscoJavierArias@yahoo.com <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Should I be worried that you can find that out <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not at all, it's public knowledge. Anyone can look up who the domain is registered to. It even lists the guys phone number. Unless you were being sarcastic, in which case you should be worried.

Hmm, I didnt realize you could do that. Its just my lack of knowledge I guess
May 26, 200520 yr I had seen the name mentioned in a previous thread. I was pretty surprised how easy it was to pull up the information on register.com though.
May 26, 200520 yr There's ways around that (the registry info being easily public viewable), but it usually means paying more for a 'middle-man' whois service. " Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
May 26, 200520 yr The site's a scam, likely that guy trying to cash out should LA try to make a Kotor III... Geekified Star Wars Geek Heart of the Force, Arm of the Force "Only a Sith deals in absolutes!" -Obi-wan to Anakin (NOT advocating Grey-Jedidom) "The Force doesn't control people, Kreia controls people."
May 26, 200520 yr Agreed. I think he's hoping for Lucasarts to approach him and buy off the site name for big bucks. There were several such cases before.
May 26, 200520 yr I'll be tempted to call him up and laugh at him if LA decides not to make a Kotor III... right after crying like a two year old girl with a boo-boo... :ph34r: Geekified Star Wars Geek Heart of the Force, Arm of the Force "Only a Sith deals in absolutes!" -Obi-wan to Anakin (NOT advocating Grey-Jedidom) "The Force doesn't control people, Kreia controls people."
May 26, 200520 yr anyway there are lots of alternatives to www.kotor3.com ...(ex:kotorIII)...not a big issue really...
May 26, 200520 yr You had to do it, didnt you? You just had to. :sorcerer: And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
May 26, 200520 yr You had to do it, didnt you? You just had to. :sorcerer: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ' The guy is simply trying to cash in. It's like the website http://mikerosoft.com Plus Kotor 3 website will be hosted on lucasarts. At most it may have a shortcut link like www.kotor3.com but they're not going to spend 5000 dollars for a said url
May 26, 200520 yr Agreed. I think he's hoping for Lucasarts to approach him and buy off the site name for big bucks. There were several such cases before. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i thought "domain camping" was illegal.

OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
May 26, 200520 yr Yes, well if www.kotor3.com is bought and this Francisco is waiting for Lucasarts to buy the domain then he might as well buy: www.doom4.com www.quake4.com www.unreal3.com www.halo3.com www.battlefield3.com To name a few. Succeeding the companies to buy the domains for large sums of money however, he never will. Master Vandar lives!

Then again maybe.....just maybe..... Its a deliberate attempt to fool the fanbase of a game thats already in development.....That it isn't " Possible people, unlikely - Probably, dishonest - Definitly, but certainly possible, to say it isn't is foolish. And before people overwhelm me with facts to the contrary, I'm just wishful thinking.
