There's a right way and a wrong way...

...to "park" a domain.

The right way is to direct all access to a page that says something to the effect of "this domain has been parked at $REGISTRAR. Please visit us again when the site is finished!"

The wrong way is to redirect all access to an ad farm, which, of course, encourages malicious individuals to register domains with the (incompetent or malicious - pick one) registrar, and place ads on the registrar's ad farm which then direct visitors to the malware distribution sites.

Guess which method NameDrive chose? Guess why I would never trust NameDrive with any of my dozens of domain names!
