Who registered it? -- I was going to, but someone already did using namezero... PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF. I would like to purchase it for the normal domain price.. chris@pocketmatrix.com<br>

[Paul]

if i was you i'd make 'em give it to me for free

[999]

Was it Mark R.?<br><br>That guy is pretty laxed about domains, remember www.openlettertosega.com i think it was?<br><br>Anyhow, he's my guess as to who's the mystery domain owner.<br><br>

[Chris Edwards]

Ok... give me pocketquake.com for free! I want to set up a quake server on it so that all can play pocketquake multiplayer!

[Paul]

goodo

[999]

y cant u setup pocketmatrix.com as a quake server?<br>worse comes to worse, u can just use a Stomped rerouter, like stomped.pocketquake.com or something to connect.<br><br>

[Chris Edwards]

pocketquake.net would be cool... makes it sound like a gaming network.

[Chris Edwards]

I'll probably run quake.pocketmatrix.com as a quake server... I'll just have to do some funky DNS, because I'll probably host the quake server myself when I get highspeed. Unless our sponsor (yes, we have one now) doesn't want to pay for it...

[Moose or Chuck]

u big coo peopl rockin the PQ server, that about 3 ppl are gonna be on a day, cause i ain't got no connection for my ppc, but hey i'll come on with my computer and own you ppc'er's that'd be funny

[999]

I saw a nic card at fry's the other day for about a buck fifty (Anal Retentive Disclaimer: One Hundred and Fifty Dollars), and another one a few bucks cheaper. I reckon I'll pick one up once the server is live.<br><br>I've tried Playing PQ on a a few different types of modems already, and Quake, in general, is impossible to play without at least a 56k connection. This means IR modems, IR Modem enabled Cell Phones, and < 56k wont cut it either.<br><br>

I'm getting 384k-786k sec wireless internet soon, I can wait. Chris is getting something like 2 or 3 gb a sec wireless. So we will both be on the quake servers showing off our skillz;)

[Matt Keys]

Maybe we can get namezero.com to hand it over to us since it is just redirecting. That way we can register it with a real domain service.

[999]

Have you guys ever looked at a namezero request form? I'm talking to setup an account etc. <br><br>Anyhow, from what I've personally seen, they just don't hand out domains. I guess since everyone is feeling the crunch right now, they've too have had to limit their free domains to sites that present a prospect value. <br><br>In PocketQuake's case, I reckon you're up for some what of a challenge in getting it from NameZero. They're not exactly squatters, but they sure are walking that very fine line.<br><br>
