Thanks, I am checking it out. I need to make sure it is a messageboard so people can tell their horror stories. But I don't know how to build them.

Godaddy are good.

If you are after .Asia domain names, some are advertised on www.Admart.Asia domain names section:

http://www.admart.asia/en/list.php?country=HK&section_id=1&lang=en&category_id=144

Sedo also is good.

I just gotta make sure it's a messageboard as well, I don't know shit about operating them tbh. Thank God Gene is going to help me. I gotta go now, but should be back later. Hopefully I will get it up and running. I want to run that pos Chris Masons business into the ground.

They don't provide a decent Control Panel and No, you don't have anything like Fantastico that will let you install smf - you have to do it manually.

I'd rather go for someone like http://byethost.com/ - free hosting and really good service.

registering a domain is about $10 per year at places like godaddy.com, but then you need to host it someplace.  godaddy does offer such services, but there are many other places for $50 to $100/year.   then you need software installed.  if all you want is a message board like this one, which uses SMF, then you need a site that supports php and mysql.

registering a domain name means you now own the name, nothing more.

then you have to rent space on someone's computer to host the website

then you have to upload the files that people are going to look at when then visit that website.

you want to have a forum where people can post and read messages.   

so you need to

1) register the name at someplace like godaddy.  $10/year

2) purchase hosting from someone, $50-100/year.   you probably need to find a hosting company that supports cpanel, php and mysql.

3) pay someone to install the software you want, such as the software that getbig uses, SMF

and probably

4) pay someone to manage the site for you

if you want to take the time to learn, you can do 3 and 4 yourself

That's a lot of work for a pair of soiled Calvin Klein underwear. Although you can't really put a price on my dignity and that is precisely what Chris mason took from me. I gotta think this over.  Thanks Tim.

If you want to start things off quickly, without having to go through too much of a learning curve, try

www.smfforfree.com

Once you get the hang of things, you can upgrade it so it becomes ad free. Later on, you can maybe think about having an independently hosted site like Getbig.

Maybe a rival supplement company with an ax to grind could sponsor yours and Genes endeavor.

I'd probably just strart shooting emails to various companies and see if something couldn't be done under the table.

Not that I have anything against his products, hell I have never even tried them, just wanted to give you a few advices.

I don't want to run a site for more than a week or so tbh. Just want a place for people to tell their horror stories about At Large Nutrition. Have you ever tried their colon blow protein powders Kiwi?

I have people scouring the boards reading and asking anyone if they use his products, then someone I know on here is going to send the list of people to another company and the key is for them to target these individuals aggressively, hopefully offer products half off. I am also open to any and all ideas. He crossed the line by shitting on Rons site, making me shit my pants and making Genes face break out.

I was pissed at Cingular a few years ago and was going to get a domain cingularsucks.com, cingularblows.com,  etc...  I kept coming up with domain names but they were always taken.  I was like WTF?? when I went to check to see who had registered these names it turned out to be Cingular.  I guess they knew people would be doing that shit...lol.

what they end up doing is having to purchase the domain from the webmaster.  i forgot but one company paid $25K or something like that to get rid of one of the suck sites a couple of yrs back.

Love to see that board meeting where a bunch of stuffy, white collar, upper-management sit around a table with pens and paper, tossing out names that would put Cingular in a negative light... then registering them online.

I saw the story about the guys who bought sex.com a few years back. Two people were fighting over it, one is rich as hell the other one never got a dime. Or something like that.

here is a hint:   don't buy useless supplements.    limit yourself to additive free protein powders (such as custom blends at trueprotein.com), multivitamins, and oils high in EFAs.  everything else is either worthless or just not cost effective.   use all the money you save to buy membership at a better gym.

Perhaps get Gene to dig up some recent pictures of his face before it started to break out, and if you can't just try to find a Gene "look-a-like" with a better complexion for a before and after pic.

I would also try to get restitution for all of Genes costly trips to the dermatologist.

Gene is looking into suing Chris obviously, not for the money but to get the point across that his products are bogus. I am thinking of suing him too, but what price do you put on your dignity?

Perhaps Gene could find a good lawyer that specializes in punitive damages, and then use the money awarded to him, not as profit, but as a means of starting an "anti - AtLarge nutrition" campaign.

Gene could use the money to help brush up his skills in front of a television camera and run a series of commercial spots on television in which he explains the devestating effects that the companies products have done to his life.

Monies award through the judgement could always be used for Genes car rentals, meals on the road, publicity, hotels etc. etc. etc...
