Hi everybody,

I haven't got good news, msn sites of Dutch owners (till now) and width 'msn' in there domain are gone at the end of the week. Why? Microsoft called the webmasters and claimed the domainname because 'msn' is a registered trademark. Not so good, I don't know if msn sites with English owners or an other nationality also must give there domain.. If so, msnfanatic.be would be gone to..

The sites that will be gone at the end of the week till now: msnicons.com, msnbase.nl, msnshit.com, msntools.net, msnskins.be, msn6.nl, msnskins.nl, msnnaam.nl and many more..

I've luck, I've also a Dutch MSN site, Scito.nl, but you can't find 'msn' in it

It isn't good news, but this was predictable..

They're all shit and sponsored by each other. Or some crappy TXT ringtones thing.

I know, but I think that msnfanatic.be will be claimed by MS.. They only need time, that's all..

Shame www.mess.be and msgplus will still be around and our friends at msnfanatic will survive

Lol, so you visit Scito.nl also?

there up..

It's not the end of the week yet

shame.... Microsoft shouldnt do that.... Msn sites with plug-ins and add-ons draw in users..... Say a person some how hits the site or a freind tells them of a add-on for msn messenger and they think its kool? They might download msn messenger for the addy ? also if there are tons of fan sites for it people also think its a good IMing service. good thing mess.be and msgplus survive.

will the .tk ones get tooken too?
