This is an advertising. Global domains should only be mentioned by name as the provider, and nothing else.

I think.................... it deserves a page. Just watched http://website.ws/kvmlm2/_show.dhtml?speed=high&sponsor=wildcardform4&fname=pyramid&lname=scheme
Should be written in the article, that GDI has actually setup multilevel marketing on the .ws domain. Fishy.

See website.ws, freedom.ws

There's definitely something suspicious going on with .ws. I used to own a high traffic domain name (superman.ws, which is linked to from numerous places throughout the net), until it suddenly transfered ownership. .ws claimed they had never been notified of my renewal by my registrar and that I would not be able to get the name back. It now serves advertisements. Macduff 00:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Western Sahara?

The official website of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is: http://www.rasd-state.ws/

Does this mean that the Western Saharan entity had to pay money to the government of Samoa in order to be able to use the .ws domain? BomBom (talk) 14:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

This Article should describe the .ws domain only and not be used as an Advertisement "or a Trusted validation" of GDI claims.

[edit] GDI Rep

GDI this is not an advertisement meduim. I will personaly monitor this wiki to prevent you from turning this into an ad for you Company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ClarenceCM3 (talk • contribs) 00:50, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Registers are not marketing .ws as Web site, world site, etc. Only one single Company GDI is marketing it as that. I personally think reference to .ws standing for world site or web site should be removed. it's GDI Marketing and not the true nature of the .ws domain. I can say pi stand for Personal income, and sell personal income site, but pi is not a domain for personal income.

A GDI rep is using this wiki to validate their marketing claim. goto www.freedom.ws. They have an MLM program around the use of the .ws domain. In their marketing they try and persuade potential get rich quick candidates that .ws stands for Web site or world site, and they try and sale you the domain for 10 bucks a month. then get you to spam all of you friend so they can get they own sites with claims that you earn residual income if you friend sign up for their own domain. They also claim that you can buy domain or popular site name, and maybe later resale them for top dollar. it's a true Get rich quick scam, and this wiki is being exploited to prove that claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ClarenceCM3 (talk • contribs) 19:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
