[idoik]

and the domain i didnt think i was ganna get it so i just got a random name

iamsocoolthatigotthisdotcomforfree.com

later i got a e-mail. and it said your domain is ready. enjoy

i was like omg. so if ya want your own free domain go to

http://1stplacecyberspace.com

then sign up. feel the 2 top survays with bogus info:) and boom. dont be live me? here is a screen shot.

http://2nesario.us:8600/ximages/public/desktops7.jpg

image is really big. make take time to download:) 100% swear i got it:)

[thoriphes]

hey buddy, you have a little **** smeared over your e-mail address.

[idoik]

u cant see that spamer lol ahahah. also they blocked whois networks. odd. well here is where the domain buyers are

http://whois.bizcn.com/domainreg?module=whoisreg&domainname=iamsocoolthatigotthisdotcomforfree.com

u need to type some number in or combo

[thoriphes]

hm...this sounds real, but i sense something fishy...

[idoik]

well i didnt belive it tell i saw the dns info on http://whois.bizcn.com/domainreg?module=whoisreg&domainname=iamsocoolthatigotthisdotcomforfree.com it stell needs to load. but i well show u when its all set up. i well have it say on the page. "i love all you kirupa kids"

[REEF·]

The dot coms you get must be huge. Who the heck wants to type them? And why would they just do this for free? What's the catch?

But anyways - this sounds real, but yes I smell tuna.

[idoik]

it dosnt have to be big. i type thats for the hell of it.

u can get any domain

hell . i am ganna turn my proxy on. then get kirupa.net and donate it to kirupa:)


the catch is. u feel this servuy out. (no crdit card needed)

u gotta do the 1st 2 on the top. cuzz only one gives u the points dont know what one. but ya. it takes like 5 min:)

[Alex]

just wait until tomorrow, you will have an inbox filled with spam. No way they can just hand out domains like peanuts at a baseball game... like stated above, there is a catch.

[REEF·]

Hmm, I'd just make a new account over at yahoo and sign up with that email, activate it using that email, and just leave that email their forever :P without touching it. I still have my gmail one and outlook express one.

But still, this is a huge salmon :bad:!

[idoik]

i used one of my 3 gmail acounts to do this. i dont have any e-mails in there but 2. and that was the one used to make my acount and the one to tell me i own the domain now

[McGiver]

use
mailinator.com accounts.
you can enter anyname@mailinator.com
view the mail there (if you want to)
and it will be deleted withing some days

[hificopymaster]

I found a Gmail invite in a Mailinator account one day. :pleased:

[idoik]

hahahha

[VDaminator]

fishy or not I suppose it is worth a try that would be awsome if the hosting option was real as well.

[Jeff Wheeler]

can't use it, there site has audio and then I have to turn off my music :( :P, they lost one customer very quickly :D

[Coppertop]

is it just .coms or can you get others (like .nets, and .ccs)

[Jeff Wheeler]

appearently others as well, he said he'd get kirupa.net and donate it to kirupa

[idoik]

they offer .com .net .org

the hosting dosnt work. just get the domain and set the dns or the web forwarding and have fun:)

[Coppertop]

ah poo. coppertop.com, .net, and .org are all taken. blast it all.

(edit: yay - 2400!)

[REEF·]

BAh! Reefster.com is taken!

[ratbaggy]

wouldn't they just spam every email address for the domains registered through them?

[idoik]

there is no spam **** why dosnt any one belive stuff like this is possble.

[thoriphes]

lol, seems they are being bought out. we'll see how long this free service lasts ;)

in other news, let's see if i can get thoriphes.org...

[SlowRoasted]

what the heck, how can it be free, someone let me know if they find out some catch

[ratbaggy]

there are no terms and conditions at the base of the page either

and you can't get points as none of the links work

[idoik]

worked today for me. also the dns has been set and worked:) its just not set for my state yet. for where the server is it has added it.

once it works here it is

http://iamsocoolthatigotthisdotcomforfree.com/ u well see the cool message;)

[mansour]

there are no terms and conditions at the base of the page either

and you can't get points as none of the links work

i was just gonna ask if they have no terms and conditions or any type of agreement............... they can do what ever they want in the near/far future, big problem!

[idoik]

ok man come on. i know it didnt say this before i signed up. i even did a cheack my self:)

[SlowRoasted]

haha, what a scam

[idoik]

there is no scam.

[SlowRoasted]

oh, i thought that it tried to make you buy it, oops.

[idoik]

i was just showing that its been paid for. now can i please use yer bunny:) he is so **** cute

[SlowRoasted]

yeah i told you you could hehe

[Mik3]

Ok, don't make fun of me. What's this DNS server thing? How do I find it out from my host (dr2.net?)

This is sad that I don't know what a DNS server is.... :( lol

(Isn't a DNS server like 255.255.255.0 or something?)

[idoik]

no

its NS1.DOMAIN.COM

NS2.DOMAIN.COM

[Mik3]

Ok thanks, I think I got it...

ns27.dr2.net
and ns28.dr2.net

I used http://www.dnsreport.com/

[Mik3]

This is really awesome! Thanks!!!!!

[moncreyweasel]

GAAAH there MUST be a catch somewhere! Does anyone have a clue what it is?

[idoik]

the only catch is that you have to feel out a survay.:) and wait a cuple days. thats it.

[Jeff Wheeler]

for me, an unusable site :P

[Mik3]

LONG surveys.

Some need social security numbers

I entered fake numbers

I have a feeling the cops are gonna contact me

[idoik]

U DONT have to go to the step 2 part. when it says about the ssn just close the window! it works after that:P)

proof

as u see the proof. i know what i am talking about:) so do the servuys for the loans. when it ask for your ss number close the window. auto points. then wait a cuple of days :)

edit: see the nice fake name:P

[Mik3]

Can't wait to get omgl337.com

A domain I've always wanted... but wasn't good enough to pay for.

I own a 456 million dollar house you know

[ratbaggy]

idoik...are you affiliated with this scam?

[moncreyweasel]

what a sketchy site though..... bah whatever! ill spend the night thinking about what domain ill get, haha. As long as you dont put personal stuff, what harm can come from it?


idoik...are you affiliated with this scam?
yeah really, youre pumping this thing pretty hard, what makes you so sure theres nothing wrong with it?

[Mik3]

what a sketchy site though..... bah whatever! ill spend the night thinking about what domain ill get, haha. As long as you dont put personal stuff, what harm can come from it?


yeah really, youre pumping this thing pretty hard, what makes you so sure theres nothing wrong with it?

It doesn't take that much time... You can register all teh ones you want! :te:

IF there is something wrong with it then we wasted like 10 minutes of our time. If it does work, then we know what to do to get all the domains we want!

[Jeff Wheeler]

yeah, you're pushing this as much as I did the sony mp3 players :D

[idoik]

hell screw man i am not part of the. jesus crist its a site that gives free domains. where is the scam yer putting fake info int here they cant find u. jesus. if you dont belive dont use it. i am just trying to show there is a way to get free domains:)

[Jeff Wheeler]

I'm gonna wait a month, see if any of you suddenly fall out of your chair dead and then register :P

[Mik3]

Yeah man, it's fake info. Who cares if it's a scam. We're the ones scamming here. He's just trying to help.

[idoik]

in the mornin cheack http://iamsocoolthatigotthisdotcomforfree.com/ if it dont work tomaro or the next day or the next. then i am sorry and then i well shut up. if it does then i want some respect this is not a scam and if it is. i am not part of it. any time some one posted gmail no one said whats the catch, where is the scam. lol. it dosnt matter i just am kinda freaked i dont gotta pay 8 dollers for a domain any more

[Jeff Wheeler]

I'm not saying it's a scam, but I already have two domains first of all and don't really want another, and I feel I might as well ponder about why somebody would be doing this, without any terms of service?

[moncreyweasel]

hehe, sorry for accusing, its just hard not to be skeptical of a sketchy site that give free hosting and domains!

I'll sign up with an email address i never use and see what happens. Who tried it so far and who is using their hosting as well?

[ahmed]

http://iamsocoolthatigotthisdotcomforfree.com/ Actually doesn't work for me

[Jeff Wheeler]

your isp's dns server probably just hasn't had to update yet, it usually takes about 24-48 hours I think, unless I have know idea what I'm talking about :P

but it doesn't work for me yet either

[eilsoe]

ok, So I signed up and all that, tried "eilsoe.net", and racked up my 25 points, let's see what happens :P

[Mik3]

psh, have to wait till 9:30 pm EST to get your points counted...

[chriskalani]

Heeyyy... I filled it out and all I won was a free surgery of my choice...

jk we're having fun here

How long do you have the domain for?

[minimalistik]

Well I signed up as well with all the info and what not. I go up to where you sign in to your email adress, enter your password and press "earn points". Is this it? Do I just wait now until I get an email or something?

[chriskalani]

I think so.

[Mik3]

I'm getting:
omgl337.com (Gonna be some message boards for some friends and I)
banana007.com (No idea)
llandis.com (My friend's first name. Gonna put something stupid there :P)

What's up with this thing?
It says points are updated at 9:30 PM EST (it's 12:37 now Pacific) and it still says I have 0 points...

EDIT: Wow, I'm smart. I used the wrong method of math.

[jw06]

alright.. so how long does it take to go through to see how many points you have earned? and :S anybody have a problem with the first one and telling you it needs all the forms filled in? and on the second one coming up with a bogus credit card number?

[.Matt]

it wont work when i click on a link to fill out a form...

http://www.qksrv.net/click-1429978-10293277?sid=gman42342@hotmail.com

is one of the links but it wont let me fill it out.. its just blank

[idoik]

do the top one and then the 2nd. no need for a card number. and boom 25 points,wait a cuple days and ya got the points.

[DDD]

I think i may try it. Since it is bogus info. But I like to use dotster for my domains. Is it possible to move it there after I get it from these people?

[idoik]

i dont think it is. hell its free its not like your pay anything.

[eilsoe]

I have my 25 points :)

I'm just waiting for that email :) Signed up just for domain name :)

[DDD]

Do you use bogus info when registering or only on the survey part. Which I have not go to. Also do you pick "domain only" or "hosting and domain"?

[eilsoe]

bogus for surveys, yes.

and I chose domain only :)

[DDD]

If you pick domain only does your domain get parked or something until you change the nameservers? Has anyone done the free hosting?

[.Matt]

can somebody please earn my points for me.. the links arent showing up. ill pm them the name and pass

[Raydred]

yea but do you own the domain? and if ever in dispute would *looks at the screen shot* .. Bongo Wanaobly win? =) im sure there is someone named that somewhere lol

[.Matt]

so there is someone named:
www.afterburnproductions.com

.. check again

[REEF·]

Didn't I make a site called afterburn a loooong time ago :crazy:?

I coulda used a domain back then :P!

[.Matt]

are i serious? thats my company name lol

http://members.lycos.co.uk/gman42342/afterburn/

thats why i need a domain :P

so will anyone help me?

[idoik]

yo Raydred. thats the name i signed it up with. if u look on the adminstrator it says

kupa trupa:P

[McGiver]

sorry, but the term "company" can't be used on pages hosted by lycos :bad:

[.Matt]

no i just use that for free hosting :P

[REEF·]

Haha trust me I owned that name before. But since I hate it now you can have it :crazy:.

[.Matt]

oo yay i love it

[Mik3]

Been a day and my points still aren't updated!!! GRRR MUST KILL NOW

[Yeldarb]

*sniff* *sniff*

anyone else smell a scam?

[Jeff Wheeler]

I do, but nobody can find anything that's been wrong... I want to find it so bad! arg! ;P

[Yeldarb]

well, no points for one...

[Mik3]

I looked up the company, and they used to offer $1 domains names. ANd there were many forums with people showing off their sites powered by the domains from there.

[Mik3]

Can you please explain in detail what you did to get your points... I can't get it to work. :(

[idoik]

did the 1st 2 survuys. both are 25 ponters. only one works. dont know what one. just did it. waited and boom:)

my dns should work with zoneedit later on.:)

[Mik3]

Ok, well, I think it's the 2nd one that works... I guess points are just updating really slow.

The first survey is a scam, for it takes your entry and says that more fields are required to fill in.

[idoik]

wow the domain is ready its on my servers. read the message i put up

http://iamsocoolthatigotthisdotcomforfree.com

[Jeff Wheeler]

crazy...

[Mik3]

Man, this is taking forever. It's been about 24 hours. Still 0 points. Contact isn't working. I still think I'm missing a step you took...

[CanadianGuy]

idiok it's not working for me

[idoik]

u live in canada. dns takes time.

[idoik]

bump!~

[Yeldarb]

settle down there buddy... ;)

[hificopymaster]

You bumped after half an hour? Is that a new record or something? :h:

[SlowRoasted]

im beginning to think this is all an evil plan by some black ops government agency and idoik is their spokesperson :gm:

[Mik3]

I'm starting to think this is a scam. 9:30 PM EST (When your points are supposed to get updated) has passed TWICE. Still ZERO points.

[hificopymaster]

I knew it all along. :alien:

[thoriphes]

I got my points, I just can't seem to get the domain name working.

[SlowRoasted]

has anyone actually got it working yet?

[Jeff Wheeler]

idiok has of course :P

[idoik]

ok if this is a big scam . boogy whogy. then some one who really needs a domain tell me what one to get. lol

[Mik3]

Well, the second one of my domains works, I'll give you an "Innocent" pass.

(If you are a secret agent from that company get my domain working: omgl337.com)

[idoik]

lol

[DDD]

I signed up....lets see what happens. Isnt it weird that the password field is not really a password field.

[Mik3]

I signed up....lets see what happens. Isnt it weird that the password field is not really a password field.

Si, senor

I did a google search for 1stplacecyberspace and there were a couple of sites where he was asking for help.

[DDD]

input type=password would have done it I believe

[ChainMael]

I think reading this thread was far more fun than trying to get a free domain off that site would be.

[my3brs]

with all your free domains join my hosting babolohost.com or... Kirupa ppl get 50megs space php ect...

[jw06]

HA! I did a survey 30 minutes ago! and my points came through! now what do I do to get the domain? Just wait and see if the dns servers get it?

[McGiver]

I still have 0 points :(

and somebody should hit them with a stick for that music!

[DDD]

holy smack....I did a couple and I got my points on all of them.....One of them I got 60 points and the other 40 points......Now what do I do?

Idiok - How about some idea where to go from here when you get points. I tried to log in to the other areas but cannot.

[eilsoe]

I've waited for 2 days now ... I have the points... still nothing, should I do anything (??)

[DDD]

oh I see you have to wait for an email with the logo info....well it seems I got the points so lets see what happens next.

[Jeff Wheeler]

idiok - your domain's down, maybe it only works for a day or two? there seems to be a catch again :P

[DDD]

:lol:

[.Matt]

i say we all download mail bombing programs and flood there system :love:

[idoik]

idiok - your domain's down, maybe it only works for a day or two? there seems to be a catch again :P


i set the dns to zone edit last nite. it should take some time:)

[Jeff Wheeler]

;P, why do you use zoneedit?

[idoik]

want working before and didnt think it whould work so i was ganna use zoneedit to mask the domain. but hell it worked.

[speed]

ok i singed up for it lol
lets see what happen next



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://speed.vbsimplified.com

[lastchildz]

I registered too , Ive got all the points needed : 45 pts :P ,
What do we do after that ... wait a few days or something ...
Anybody knows ?

IDOIK : what does Zone edit do ?

Oi actualy how do u renew this domain name ? have to pay like 40 $ Lol

[DariusMonsef]

Domains only cost like $6. Doesn't seem like all this trouble is worth it.

[speed]

how u do ear the points?
by filling out those forms
i did that and it still says i got 0 points lol




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://speed.vbsimplified.com

[silverfox]

...one of my e-mail addresses worked right away...another didn't (hotmail).

The password field is not a real password field.

The link at the bottom that says their name links to google.com.

The TOS is not clickable.

They require you to take a loan on your house.

tell me that isn't suspicious.... 9_9

[Mik3]

It Works!!!

Idoik Is The Coolest Guy Ever!

[Mik3]

Domains only cost like $6. Doesn't seem like all this trouble is worth it.

I just registered 3 domains all at the same time. It took under 10 minutes (to do the polls). It's well worth it. (for me :jail: )

[speed]

wow it works for u thats cool
but it doesnt work for me i dont know how come?








--------------------------------------------------------------------
http://speed.vbsimplified.com

[Mik3]

wow it works for u thats cool
but it doesnt work for me i dont know how come?


A) User CP and then change your footer
B) It took my points 2 days to show up. Then you have to wait after that for an email address. You might want to buy a domain if you don't wanna wait.

[idoik]

t3rminator. did you get your domain workin yet. if so what domain you get.

[speed]

ok i change it my footer thanks for the heads up.
yeah what domains u got?

[Mik3]

Not working YET. I have my points, now I just have to wait for them to get it "ready" and then wait some more.

[idoik]

mine is workin good:)

[hificopymaster]

Why does it redirect to http://homepage.mac.com/wicked6th/?

[idoik]

cuzz i made it do that.:) i am trying to make a flash site. never made one before.

[Xpeder]

I have 25 points but i cant login are you supposed to get an e-mail with your username and password?

No one has confirmed this...

[Yeldarb]

Still no points... :(

[Mik3]

I have 25 points but i cant login are you supposed to get an e-mail with your username and password?

No one has confirmed this...

thats what idoik said earlier

(He said something like: Then I got an email saying my domain was ready)

[Xpeder]

Looks like more waiting for me then



Check out http://www.dodgeit.com (http://www.dodgeit.com/) it’s a great site for putting fake e-mail address into things so you don’t get spammed. It last for a certain period of time you don’t have to register or anything just put the e-mail address you think up into a form that you don’t want to give your real e-mail to, and you can check at this site.

[ben_is_sparky]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't understand the people who say It must be a scam because they can't make money. They get money from advertising I would have thought. People with surveys will pay to have people directed to their site, then the people buy a domain with some of the money and give it to you. It's called a win-win situation (I think...)
Not saying it isn't dodgy or a scam though...

P.S. lying on surveys is wrong althogh getting free domain names is equally cool...

[Voetsjoeba]

I tried it out and signed up, but when clicking on any of the survey images I get 404's ... The suvery URL's are all from www.qksrv.net, which shows me my localhost !?

[speed]

here is another site that offers free domain names

http://freedomainsname.com/

but with this one u have to get 200 points
lol

[jw06]

um, I found the catch!!! Yesterday about 1hr after I filled out the survey, ameriquest mortgage called me!! :| I didnt even use my real name, address, and or phone. I used another address on the same street a couple blocks down. :| its a conspiracy :S run!

[speed]

lol
**** thats not good

[idoik]

i did this for many times. lol i live in lemon grove. when they ask for the street i put lemon pop. so try that:P

[idoik]

I have 25 points but i cant login are you supposed to get an e-mail with your username and password?

No one has confirmed this...



i was wrong there is no comfirm letter.

also its your e-mail address and pass word..

you only can log in to

Earn Ponts and view points.

once you get your domain you can go to domain manger and the username and password is

domainname

password


Yes the username well be your domain and the password well be password.

[jw06]

after i have the 25 points what do i do?

just wait for an email? its been about a day now and no confirmation email :S

[speed]

i did this for many times. lol i live in lemon grove. when they ask for the street i put lemon pop. so try that:P
lol good one

[idoik]

after i have the 25 points what do i do?

just wait for an email? its been about a day now and no confirmation email :S


i think it takes a week. i stell havent got my comfirm:P and i didnt get one for the domain i have now tell a week or 2. so come on people stop calling it a scam. yer not paying for anything. no money is being spent.

[eilsoe]

hey idoik, the max footer size on the boards are 300x60, please redo it :)

[idoik]

what sig needs to be removed.? tell me what one.

[REEF·]

http://2nesario.us:8600/sigx/sigs/idoiksig.jpg

[Jeff Wheeler]

apple idiok ;), and the second one as well if I remember correctly

[idoik]

i delited them all. and am only useing this one. or is that to big also.

[Jeff Wheeler]

this one's fine... you didn't need to delete them all :(

[Disco-Stu]

I'll just keep my quick and good service @ godaddy.com for 15 a year....

[idoik]

u pay 15 bucks a year. jees. i only pay 8:P . yes i stell buy .com domains and .us domains i just thot there was a possble free domain:P also a easy way to get a domain before yer frined can get it so u can see him get pist when he sees u got it before he did. and u got it free. (thats pretty mean)

[Mik3]

I just email him and he said he'd register it for me.

[idoik]

I just email him and he said he'd register it for me.


any luck man:)

[Yeldarb]

Heh... I knew it was too good to be true ;)
I never even got my domain :(

[DDD]

i think it was a scam and idiok was in on it. Did anyone besides him get a domain?


Due to large amounts of fraudulent leads, I am forced to shut this area down until I can figure out how to run this site without taking huge losses.

I can't give out domain names to "Joe Blow" and "Some Guy" that lives at 123 anywhere lane in sometown, usa.

I'm guessing it will take a week to get this site back up again and to recover from the losses I've incurred from fraudulent information being put in these offers.

He only gave out 1 domain...lol...to idiok. What the h*ll was he expecting. People were going to get 500,000 dollar house loans? And they were trying to get around a 9 dollar domain....what a moron.


LOL...I used this

123 anywhere lane in sometown, usa
Maybe he was talking to me?

[idoik]

let me just say this one last time. i do not own or work for this company. in fact screw the company.

but dont think i am part of them or a bad guy i just got a free dot com

[DDD]

you shall be tarred and feathered, then hung in the public square.....lighten up dude. Iyeaknowsureyouwehaddontnothinbelievetoyoudo with the company.

at least you got one.

[idoik]

what ever. i feel really bad :( why is every one hated when they show people something they find.

[DDD]

Seriously man I was just bustin ya balls. I am only kidding. It was no skin off my back. And it was cool of you to share the link.

[eilsoe]

ok, so now it's been way over a week, and I haven't heard a peep from those guys...

[Hans Kilian]

Scammers! :(

[muffins]

Scammers! :(

scammers profit for your stupidity. there is no scam. you didnt give out any information that someone couldnt easily get.

[eilsoe]

promising a free domain name and not giving it is still a scam.
