The bid continues to rise though lol
Because it was negligence, has nothing to do with the amount, the site expired exactly 365 days from the day it was purchased. It means no one took the time to purchase a second year, no one took the time to view the emails notifying them of the "Your domain expires in 60 days, renew now" -- "Your domain expires in 30 days, renew now" -- "Your domain has expired, and is only retrievable for the next 45 days before it will be released" and so on and so forth.
It means Marc or the "hired" web developer (and I put hired in quotes, cause the original website was put up in all of 2 hours using a copy/paste wordpress database and template, I am a web dev by profession) ignored notifications for almost 3 months to make sure the domain didn't get deleted. Nothing but EXTREME negligence. I could write another 3 paragraphs as to why it is obvious that the only time you "let" a domain expire is because of negligence, but it should be completely obvious to anyone at this point.
Do I even need to mention the company emails that were deleted along with it? Come on. I suppose this is a point where the amount, $10, is a factor, why let all those precious company emails/contacts go dead for a measly 10 bucks? Red flags all over the place.
I'm not arguing this may or may not have another run some day, cause anything is possible. It's just at this point it has dirty and immoral written all over it, no thank you.
They failed to pay a $10 dollar annual renewal fee a few months ago and the website, along with all the company emails were removed from existence because of their failure to renew the company domain for a mere, that's right, $10 dollars.
In case anyone hasn't seen GDSM.com lately...
That's because the emails addresses disappeared, along with the website, 4 months ago because they failed to pay a $10 annual domain renewal fee.
"Oops, we didn't care enough to pay the $10 dollar annual fee so it expired."
Is what the annual report should say about the cookie cutter WordPress website and company emails disappearing. That truth would be difficult to smooth over with investors I would imagine though.
Oh there's a stop sign now? How long's that been there? Didn't even notice...
I was wondering when you would show up Wick, and remind everyone of that little tidbit :P
*crickets*
All I can say is, wow.
Receipt for the shovel? They can't even pay $10 for the annual fee on their website, let alone afford a shovel.
Sure it does, same reason why others recite what they believe as positives about the company. Both sides of the argument are just trying to show relevant information to what they think other parties need to be aware of both good/bad... Kind of the entire point of discussion forums.
Well yeah, I never said he was perfect. He, and others, clearly made mistakes.
Yeah, ridiculous, maybe Lovito will join her so we can stumble on another google image of him at the beach with his nipple rings and LOVITO tattooed across his abdomen in giant letters. He sure looks like someone who would never ever screw someone over, ever, lol.
Your post should be stickied
Yeah.. It's exactly what you said.. unfortunately for whoever is still vested in GDSM here. I never enjoy seeing people take a hit like this and the aftermath that's gonna follow.
Did you want another 30 million @ .0005/.0006? lol
Agreed, but what can you do? Everyone knew GDSM was a crazy high risk lotto-ticket for months now.
What caused this? The past year of GDSM caused this.
Funny cause it's probably true :( lol
Hahah, forgot about the nipple rings, such a classy guy.
There is no legitimate reason to lose your company's website because of a $10 dollar annual fee, the end. The lack of professionalism and business ethic in GDSM is appalling.
I'm not doubting that this could run again, but everyone's got their own set of standards and for me this one has dropped well below the moral horizon--a long time ago. Time, effort, and money better spent elsewhere with less risk-far far less risk.
To each their own at this point, GDSM has been beat to death from every possible angle, every single day here. You guys are making me go cross eyed reading the same back and forth every day :(
Really? So when's the last time you were able to communicate with Lovito? Was it before or after all the company email addresses disappeared along with the company website because they failed to pay their annual fees on their domain? Sure sounds like going dark to me.
It's sort of depressing that of all the pinks out there, 2-3 years ago this is one of maybe one of three pinks that I've ever held shares in where I truly thought it was 100% legit (at that time), and actually had a business plan that could take them places. Jim was a genuine dude IMO, for those who had the chance to meet up with him in person back in the day got to see that I think.
*continues to sit quietly for another 6 months while nothing happens in the world of MXMI zzz*
Someone bought 122 shares @ 0.9??? Why..
Isn't it kind of strange though how they've done or said next to nothing since taking over (aside from the reverse)? You'd think they'd at least try to get some interest in the stock? What gives?
You mean all the bagholders helped pay it off for him :P
But yeah it's not letting me view the image or whatever is attached to it so I didn't make any accusations.
You should skim the other 50+ things filed against him, see if there's anything interesting. Gonna go re-install Java see if that fixes it, and take another look myself.
EDIT: Yeah that worked, it is a little humorous he can pay off 15 grand but not 10 dollars for his company's site, lol, I wonder why :(
You don't get rid of a company website for a lot of reasons.
1. It's only $10, once a year
2. You lose your website
3. You lose any emails associated with the domain
4. You ALWAYS keep your company's domain name url for SEO purposes, selling/merging the company or not.
5. Creates unnecessary and pointless commotion among investors
6. Did I mention it's only $10?
The list goes on and on. Even if it was a lame Word-Press site, it would have been better than nothing.
It would also have been less panic-inducing if they had actually taken it down themselves (even though there's no legit reason to even do that) and not let the registrar take ownership from them. They could still technically buy it back right now for a redemption fee of $100 bucks or so I believe. I'd have to look at the registrar's terms, but it's usually $100, then they sell it to the highest bidder after 30-40 days of trying to contact the original owner.
Lovito-Broward County Public Records DD
You must have missed this huh? Ironic it was only a half hour ago :(
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=84748937
Yeah understandable, but only problem with that is that the site wasn't "taken down" by them willingly. It was removed from their ownership for not paying the $10 annual registration fee w/the registrar :(
And in-turn, the email addresses are taken away with it.
Yeah, unforced errors for sure. Has anyone ever looked up Marc Lovito in Florida's online public county records? He lives in Broward County Florida, and the online public records are here--
https://officialrecords.broward.org/oncoreV2/Search.aspx
He has had 13, RST's (Revoke/Satisfy/Terminate) filed against him since 1999. Most recently being on 07/09/2012 by the United States Internal Revenue Service.

There's some DD for everyone, make of it what you will.
You shouldn't have to DD a new email for the owner when the original Marc@goldcoastmining.com got closed. He should have paid $10 dollars? It's like they aren't even trying in the least (obviously). You can even automate that $10 dollar payment for annual recurrence.
You'd also think if you had a legit email / response from him, you'd want to share that contact info with other investors to promote the good health of the company not keep that email to yourself. Doesn't make sense at all.
What email are you talking about lol, cause the one marc@goldcoastmining.com literally doesn't exist anymore, it was deleted when he let his domain expire for $10 dollars...
Glad you asked actually, I dug a little more and it looks as if the domain is still in its redemption period and has not transferred to anyone else yet. It would cost them around $100 to get the domain re-registered in their name right now. If another 30-40 days go by unanswered, they (they being NameJet) will sell the domain off to the highest bidder at auction.
If you go through the links on the site that is currently displayed now, by clicking the Bid on Domain now at the top. It is set for presale/back-orders. Which means it will be for sale when the grace period is up in 30-40 days.

Where did my Web site go? Why are these ads here?
These ads appear on websites after a domain name has expired and has entered our administrative grace period.
If this is your domain name and you wish to renew your registration please click here for renewal instructions or contact one of our Web Services Consultants at:

Outside the U.S. and Canada: (902) 749-5917
The website was not taken down on purpose you can look up the WhoIs information and the domain expired exactly 1 year from registration, which is what happens when you don't pay your annual $10 dollar fee.
EDIT: Someone else owns it now.

I'm not a fan of emailing any representative of a company that is @gmail, @yahoo, etc, unless I receive that email from the person themselves? :(
Sure would be nice to email someone @goldcoastmining.com hah
Also from a developer stand point, you never, ever, let go of the company URL/domain just based on SEO purposes. Even if you get a new domain going forward, there's literally zero reason other than straight-up negligence, to drop your company URL.
BTW, I'm not taking sides, just saying I don't like what I see lately.
