[BNM] Domain Backorders

[Steve]

Hi,

Backordering just attempts to register the domain the moment it  
expires. So if this guy just keeps paying his registration fee's I  
doubt you could snatch it. I'm sure there are a few illegal ways  
where you could 'pose' as him and change the registration details to  
yours. But that would ultimately lead a trail straight back to you  
and get a knock on the door from the boys in blue.

If the guy is not responding to his emails then his email details may  
have changed -  especially if the site is 4 years out of date.

Maybe you could find an alternative address by doing a whois on the  
domain records or even emailing his host and ask them nicely to pass  
on the message on your behalf.

Good luck!

Steve
