Twittersquatting is the new Cybersquatting

by olstar on July 3, 2009

Im getting sick to the fucking back teef of trying to register twitter accounts for my personal and business use – and some fucking drongo has already snapped them up.

For example, @olly is registered and not used, @adidas is registered and not used, @ol is registered and not used.

Need i go on?

I have tried contacting twitter support and asking to kick them off so i can have them – no joy! I have even tried tracking the people down that own them but still, no joy.

There needs to be something built in to twitter that, if a profile is registered then never used  then it should be removed.

Losers.

A friend of mine had been ordered to move some of his stuff off my server – there is nothig wrong with my server by the way his boss is just an arsehole and was annoyed we paid for some laptops within the 30 days – no i didnt fuck that up, we paid them within the 30 days, but said it might be sooner – because it wasn’t sooner than the 20 days he had a hissy fit threw his toys out his pram and told my mate to move all their stuff off our server!

anyway, he had got most of the sites moved across – but one was causing some serious problems. It kept displaying the following error.

Downloading Tarball

Sorry, the copy failed. Unable to find the cpanel user file. Is the archive missing (cwd: /home loaded username/cp/username)? Extract Failed Invalid Account

I did some googling and many people have had the same problem, but my friend actually fixed the error himself. He noticed there was a 301 wildcard redirect set up on the account he was trying to move – he removed it and bingo it let him copy the account across!
