It sucks to lose Microsuck.com.  :'(

I read the old 1999 version on the Wayback Machine and it was a very worthwhile looking site against Microsoft.

CommonSense (the creator, I think) would have convinced almost everyone to not go Microsoft, and this would've spread alternatives which competitors are losing money from.

Aloone_Jonez:
You've only just noticed?

Well you did join after the domain name change so that makes sense.

It used to be FuckMicrosoft.com but the webmaster decide to change the name to Microsuck.com after he had problems with papers not wanting to print the domain name because it contained a bad word. I don't like the name Microsuck, but I can understand the need for the change, I prefer Stop Microsoft but this sites never attracted so many new members after the domain was changed.

FuckMicrosoft.com was the original website, that I joined (member nr. 730).

Microsuck.com was a website made by some Mac OS application developers, Pre1 Software. Then they sold Microsuck.com to CommonSense, because it's a nicer domainname.

Getting the domain names myself isn't something I can afford, because CommonSense sells them at $ 4000 per domain.

Aloone_Jonez:
I didn't know that commonsense wasn't the original owner.

I notice he still hasn't sold it.

Perhaps you could now make him a lower offer?

I don't think that would work. I think even $ 1000 is a bit too much.
