Mad at something? Here's where to put a website about it

The .SUCKS domain is coming soon to an angry website near you (PC World)

Any company that buys a domain from the Sunrise Premium category will be on the hook for $2,500 every year to keep the domain. But what happens if a company doesn’t snap up an offending name like BurgerKing.sucks?

Unclaimed names will become available for a consumer advocate subsidy beginning in September for just $10 a year. Companies and those associated with them are barred from purchasing .SUCKS names under the subsidy program.

That sucks - as far as big companies are concerned. What a blatent shakedown.

ICANN is really grabbing for money lately with all these unnecessary gTLDs

When I was choosing a domain name for my website a few months ago, I was amazed by the number of new gTLDs that were available. However, I haven't yet actually seen any sites that use anything but the traditional .com, .net, .org, .info, .edu, .gov, .mil, and the various national TLDs.

If I hadn't found a suitable traditional domain, I might have gone with .name.

I can think of a few people we've dealt with who probably would love to own physicsforums.sucks.

Hahaha! Google is sure to get one. For historical purposes it will be the place to find every Google changes to all of their products that everyone was against at one point in time, but were still forced down our throats.

Then at school, students will be given homeworks like: Write an essay on a change Google once made on one of their products and everyone was against it, but no one gave a damn on Google and it still got enforced. And on the sources students will put:

Google.sucks

I cannot see the need for it. Every forum on the internet is already a member (home for the trolls etc.).
