SHOWNOMERCY.COM...[views:6611][posts:13]_____________________________________ [Feb 1,2005 11:06am - RustedAngel ""] as you may or may not know, I've owned the domain name since late 1997. Formerly a popular death site, long before ogrish/bangedup/ect. I took it down in 2001 due to the fact that it was overloading my friend's server bandwidth at over 250,000 unique hits per week and causing his other customers to complain about lag in their terminal screens. At one point marilyn manson around the 'antichrist superstar era' even had a link to it from his main page which was pretty funny. My host's also got a letter from germany stating that the site was banned there and we were not permitted to enter the country. haha. so for a few years now, the domain has lied dormant, with just a splash screen and used to direct traffic wherever I choose. I even linked to RTTP at one point but aaron soon after told me to take it off. I have contemplated relaunching the site as a death site, but I don't think I would be able to rebuild it to compete with the competition. so I'm sitting here today and it dawns on me after thinking about gettin and offer from someone to buy the domain from me...what if I turned shownomercy.com into a t-shirt company. not printing itself but selling designs with show no mercy as the name. maybe similar to bounty hunter inc. I'm probably a bit far ahead of myself but I think it could take off if I can do it right. opinions? |

I just checked copyright.gov, and there are a few entires for show no mercy...some books, plays, ect... here's one for slayer... 18. Registration Number: SR-51-402 Title: Show no mercy / [performed by] aSlayer. Imprint: Metal Blade Records MBR 1034 ; Torrance, CA : marketed by Enigma Records, c1983. Description: 1 sound disc : 33 1/3 rpm ; 12 in. + 1 lyrics sheet (1 p.) Claimant: Brian Slagel d.b.a.

Contents: Evil has no boundaries. The Antichrist. Die by the sword. Fight till death. Metalstorm, Face the slayer. Black magic. Tormentor. The Final command. Crionics. Show no mercy.

I have a couple of dumb ideas for designs, but I think I may need some illustrations done by someone....my friend tim can draw, but who knows I might need someone else. I could probably do some simple digital art I'll need to brainstorm though. |
