Another drop in the news. NZ.

Family First New Zealand - a political party that recently collected up to 50,000 signatures against marriage equality - forgot to renew their domain name. Instead, it was snapped up by a pro-Marriage Equality movement.

They will never learn.

And another one...

It pays to have systems and processes in place, definitely worth a new thread!

forget the rules, thts JUST NOT CRICKET ! , it doesn't matter which team you support that's just not right.

microsoft have done it a few times, http://www.out-law.com/page-4049

i can't find it right now but they actually forgot to register microsoft.com once !!!!!!!!!, wayyyyyyyy back, and a guy bought it then phoned them and bill gates sent him a cheque for $200, if anyone has that article link please post it as i can find it. (who keeps favourites fro 14 years and 14 laptops? "

what they have done is just nasty, and if the role was reversed then its still nasty. pro marriage comes from religion, and i don't want to open a can of worms but don't most religions say in some way " respect thy neighbour" ?

i don't like what they have done and they should give it back.

Totally Hetro Tim

I think you've mixed a few stories into one...

They forgot to renew hotmail.co.uk

They also forgot to renew passport.com (which lead to the guy being given $500 from microsoft).

And they defended their trademark against Mike Rowe...
