Microsoft’s Offer… They didn’t like my answer

A few months ago Micro$oft made an offer for my domain “Scrizzle.com” (the one I use on this site). First I was quite shocked and dismissed it. I thought it was a Nigerian scammer, but thought it was too well written (no offence). But I ended up laughing it off, why would Micro$oft want to buy my domain!?

This was months ago… Yesterday after writing the Verizon post, I decide to give the link to a few friends on my msn.

Here is a chat log I copied…

New Verizon Post @ Blog! says:
It’s the only way thats working :S

I tested it and tested it with an old MSN messenger account I had, seems they have filtered my domain. I guess they did make an offer the domain, but because I rejected it, they turned evil.

    You idiot, it was a scammer, microsoft wouldn’t do that to your MSN. That happens to many people on there MSN, they can’t see links.

    It isn’t your domain that is the target.

    Microsoft blocks the string “.scr” (among others)…

    They also blocked my domain, synt4x.ath.cx
    I first noticed it when I started running a TOR exit relay on the server. After that I couldn’t link to my own server on MSN :(
    I haven’t ran a TOR exit relay on the server for months now but I still have that problem.

    So I guess Microsoft doesn’t like TOR either huh? Too bad all my friends use MSN, otherwise I would switch to Jabber in an instant.
