| by macmend on 2008/8/12 14:30:38 "those things you struggle against you give power to" Better to be for something. Be for XOOPS. I kept coming back to XOOPS because of the community, the opensource, the spirit that once existed on the net before the corporates took over, perhaps all a myth, but worth supporting. when you struggle against someone else's anguish bitterness or nastiness you just help amplify it, better to let it go with them wherever they are going. |

| by iunderwood on 2008/8/9 19:29:11 My take on this ... everyone's making a mountain out of a molehill. Unless the project intends to get into the squatting business, it's not worth the squabble, especially since the main domain name is not at stake. I'm not entirely new to XOOPS ... just the community, and I can clearly see this isn't worth the struggle. |

XOOPS just needs to reimburse him. If he is selling the domain that he bought on behalf of XOOPS in his official capacity as XOOPS Project Manager, then he is committing a fraud. Plain and simple. But my understanding was that the domain has been donated to XOOPS and transferred to Herko, so he didn't purchase it. If he did, I would love to see an invoice. But why should we argue about it? We all know that ethically/morally it's totally wrong! Legally? We'll let the lawyers and ICANN figure that out. |

Maybe I will buy it and donate it to XOOPS Cube. Maybe I donate to Mikhail. Are you interested in owning xoops.com Mikhail - I buy for you. ;-D |
