    I'll guess i'll know in the next 2 weeks...

    Also there would be no way for them to gain the site back if they forgot to renew it, i follow the rules and the law. Basically they would have to pay me off to get the site back..
    OOPS I DID IT AGAIN..

    I'm not going to backorder any domain because I know that domain would be owned by someone else within their own rights such as a company. So yeah...

    There's likely 10 macros waiting for this domain to expire so they can snatch it up before anyone else

    Quoted for truth.

    OT: You can either pay companies to do it for you (wait and grab it if does expire) or do it yourself.

    Well I looked a little into it and it said something like they can appeal to places and that then "In 2007 it was stated that 84% of claims made since 1999 were decided in the complaining party's favor." so if you're buying it in bad faith to make the real company buy it off you then it'll most likely get taken anyway.

    Not only this, but like most have said, they'll probably renew or there's people waiting for it as well. Will be a failed get rich quick plan.

    If it's a major website, the name will probably be trademarked or whatever, so yes, they probably will be able to take it off you, without paying.

    If it's trademarked they can get it back off you for free.

    Your not going to so don't bother/attempt/ask anymore questions that have previously been answered even if indirectly although the general theme of the thread is 'you can't' so it would most likely seem that you have picked up on this by now but will continue to persist.
