Ok, so I'm setting up a website for the wedding. I go to register tom-and-jen.com... taken. Oh well, I guess I'll register jen-and-tom. I'm waiting for the dns to propagate, and I decide to go and check out what's on www.tom-and-jen.com... and it's ... a mutated version of our engagement announcement. The names are wrong, the company I work for and my job is wrong, and the date of our wedding is wrong.

What the fuck?

I'm not even sure what the hell I'm being made fun of for there.

So some retard actually went out and spent ~$10 + ~$8.95 a month just to be a dick to someone they have never met over the internet?

Or maybe you ended up looking like a fag by posting your "save the date" picture in CC.

So asking for print layout/photoshop advice in CC is verboten if it's for your wedding, because only gays get married to hot chicks amirite lol fag lol.

I think it was less that you were getting married and more that the picture had the potential to look exceedingly lame.

Either way whichever jackass sniped the domain didn't even post a "lol i sniped that dude's domain lol" in the thread so I don't know what the hell they even thought they were doing.

Yeah because paying $130 to park on a domain with purposefully incorrect information for a year is totally normal response to someone daring to post about a significant event in their personal life in a forum you frequent.

I should have totally expected this!

Put your life online, and someone with plenty of expendable time & money will fuck with you eventually.

Sorry you didn't expect it, but the best you can do now is learn from your mistakes.

Get the soap! Greenlit just said:

He's hosting it on yahoo web hosting, which is, at minimum, $8.95 a month + registration fees.

I'm just saying, this is not what I would call normal.

Buying a guy a $10 title on SA, that's normal enough.

Bitching about or flaming them, that's also pretty normal.

Going to find their engagement announcement, paying $10-20 to buy a domain, then forking over $9-12 a month for hosting, then making a web page with a slightly mutated version of their announcement, just to throw off grandma when she types in the wrong address or whatever.. that's borderline crazy.

It would be one thing if it were one of you guys, who I annoy all the time, but no one knows who the fuck I am on the SA forums. Why would anyone pay that much money to mess with a complete stranger?

I think the real question is, why does it matter so much to you? Splooging about it on message boards isn't enough that you have to waste more kilobytes on the interweb? I think most people would much rather have those kilobytes spent on barnyard porn, thankyouverymuch.

Hell, it obviously matters so much that I'd pay ten bucks a year to have jen-and-tom.com be a barnyard porn website. Better watch that renewal when it comes up!

Why do you need a website for a wedding?

So people get a map to the locations, RSVP via the internets, have links to our gift registries, view some funny photos from the bachelor party, whatever.


The reason this is bothering me is that the guy bothered to look up our engagement announcement and inject erroneous information into it, then build a website at this address, posing as our actual website. To me that signifies hostile intent, and the fact that he's paying money per month to host it really gives me pause.

If all he did was buy the domain, I wouldn't give two shits. That's a $13 prank and takes all of three seconds of effort.

Ah, those are some good reasons I guess.

I really don't know what to think about this whole thing, to be honest. I don't think I'd be very happy if someone did this kind of shit to me, but then again, making a website for a wedding seems like you're going a bit overboard with the whole thing.

I wanted to do it because Jen's been taking care of all the other arrangements, and her parents are paying for the whole damn thing, so this is pretty much the only thing that I can do to contribute. We're still almost a year out and she's already got everything but the DJ finalized.

Yeah it's not something we need, but I thought it would be a nice extra touch.
