www.failcom.com takes you to the Official AoC page!?

Out of sheer boredom i typed www.failcom.com into the address bar to see what i would find after seeing the pics with the Failcom polo shirts in this thread

www.funcom.com <--- takes you to Funcom's official front page

www.ageofconan.com <--- takes you to the AoC official page

www.failcom.com <--- also takes you to the AoC official page!?

I'm baffled by this... Funcom have bought the Failcom address and linked it to the official AoC page? Or has some smart ass linked the Failcom address to AoC to try and embarrass Funcom? What is going on here?

It doesn't make sense to me that Funcom would want anything to do with the Failcom name, and I also would have thought that the Funcom haters would not want to promote AoC by bringing people to the official AoC site.... I'm a little confused....

    not really it just takes a idea and means to do so. Im sure there are bigger things the domain creator hates more then funcom and doesn't have a domain in there name. Just prolly wanted to be the first is all and have a cult of people behind him to laugh at the joke.

    thats not an autocorrection. That's deliberate.

    People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.

    they only lock threads if it becomes a flame fest or if someone criticizes the game without explaining why. If you feel that the thread was unjustly locked, then email community@mmorpg.com. The community manager with review the thread to see if it was justifiably locked or not.

    Even if someone criticiizes a game with reason it can still get locked.....if the thread has been repeated over and over. In the failcom.net thread I found nothing wrong with that thread. If you wish, email mmorpg staff and ask why it was locked.

    If they don't have a good reason then they should unlock it.  usually threads gets blindly locked by some moderators as someone could have /reported the op and not reading the thread, the mod went ahead an locked it.  If this is the case, do the same thing. email mmorpg.com staff.

    and while i didn't intend for my WotLK thread to be trolling, it kinda turned into an argument. so i'm glad to see it shut down before it got out of hand. but i do hate being called a troll for mentioning other games in comparison to AOC...

    my english sucks, but i will try anyways to put my 2cent on it.

     

    hundert years ago ther was official  pillories in like every town..today its the internet. Sould i have mercy with someone who lied to me and STILL lying?

    even some fanboys saying "those haters are everywhere, ther is no diffrent between other games"...i give you right, but where will this end if we dont show them our border(right word for it?)? i tell ya what, its enough with all those uncomplet and hyped games.

    I dont have problems with games wich must get patched...no, games are nowdays so complicate that its a must...but i hate lies!

    Check out the forums from Ubisoft RanbowSix: Vegas 2 forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6381021386/m/9421057756/p/1

    There you find also a pissed comunity and everywhere else...all about the same topic.. The Support sucks and players wont get taken serioius..its all about  milking a player as much it goes and i have enough of it.

    good catch however he did not make that site. Funny how he brags about it. Although it would be funnier than hell if funcom saw that thread and tried to sue the shit out of him lol. I bet he wouldnt be bragging about it then.
