So I was typing fast and mis-spelled MCB's name right?

Painthappy · 07-18-2008, 08:20 AM

Yes, I know it was my name, and I screwed up... moving along...

But anyhow, I accidentally typed in:

mcarterbrow.com
(be forwarned, use firefox as it says I blocked some popups)

minus the last "n".

And... it's a spam / place holder site!!!! I feel sort of flattered that someone grabbed a domain name that means nothing (literally, that word doesn't mean anything), on the hopes that our users will misspell the name and click a link?

Looks like it was registered 2 months ago. Crazy.

on a side note, I did register the .net, .org, and .mobi a while ago, and it's a good thing I did.

So now, I'm just looking for them... Now if I type in "McCarterbrown.com" as if I'm irish, I get another spam site.

There's no Mc in my name folks... the M stands for Michael. My first name. Spammers and Scammers....

They're after me!!!!

:eerie:

And you almost have a catering service: Carter Brown Catering

Painthappy · 07-18-2008, 08:45 AM

Yeah.. I wanted "carterbrown.com", but that was taken by the Carter Brown catering service... that is why I had to add the "m" to the name.

Zoo · 07-18-2008, 08:47 AM

M. Carter Brown makes you sound more distinguished anyway...like some writer for the New Yorker

HP_Lovecraft · 07-18-2008, 08:54 AM

Or like you have a really hideous first name. Thanks what I always assumed.

Like Murtha.
