Yeah, traffic sucks. But there's no traffic where I live.

I hate horses! I don't ride them.
You're probably right.
But I still hate them!
Good advice.
That's exactly what I thought, too. And that's when I got the "you sound guilty" from their lawyer.
Thanks! Good advice.
The letter states that I need to stop the service and shut down the site, both of which I have no control over!
Just to be clear, I didnt make the thing!
I hope that these lawyers come to their senses.
Agreed. Thank you. However spending money on a lawyer for this is painful.
I still use Tadalist (37 Signals app) instead of Basecamp.
And we use http://feed.us instead of a CMS on every project.
It's like taxes... you can always pay more if you want to!
Is it possible that she made the story up?
yeah, just what we need... another app platform.
That was a pleasure to read. Very refreshing.
Great story. Thanks for taking the time to write up the story.
I really like these. Thank you for sharing.
That was supposed to say "hardcode". Thank you autofill.
Underwear. Never get out of bed.
Just me and Hacker News.
Big picture of Paul Graham on the wall.
It's a big "F U" to Facebook because they don't reciprocate.
You should add a twitterbot too and get specials from local businesses that use Twitter.
Techchrunch is an excellent bargaining tool.
I could not find a phone number for them in my account. There are different levels of Adwords with different levels of support.
How is it a scam? If you're going to visit Tortola - there's basically no information about how to get there anywhere. I list the top places to stay, eat, and beaches. I list all of the ferry services between there and st thomas.
It's better than registering domains with names of big companies - now that's a scam.
It would take alot of people but it would also increase revenues.
Adwords is not an intuitive service.
Solid point. I'll look it up.
I'm actually a little fearful that worse will happen to me (from Google) after posting this on my blog and on HN.
Adsense provides an additional revenue stream for me.
Hotel bookings, ads for resorts and adsense.
It's actually a decent amount of money from a network of sites.
Good replies guys, thanks for the points.
Click farms for the sake of click farms are one thing... but it shouldn't matter if you provide decent content.
New Mogul is great. Hope this gets resolved.
It's hosted at Godaddy. The domain is current. And it's not that he didn't pay a hosting bill - when that happens at Godaddy they make the site forward to a godaddy page.
That means that someone manually took the site down.
Or use www.twitter.com/domaintrade. I'll set up a "bot" for it.
