I remember here some nasty comments about the previous owner of the dropbox.com domain (similar situation of an old unused domain), calling him squatter etc when Dropbox finally acquired it.

OK.. let's check that. here's the HN post for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=880522

Let's look at some of the comments:

- Finally, I don't think this owner, nor Justintv.com, are cybersquatters since they owned their domains since the 90's.

- I agree with you, but in this case the original owner wasn't a squatter.

- note that I don't like squatters either, but who can tell that he wasn't legitimate when he registered it first?

- Not to mention that he registered it in the 90's! How does that possibly count as squatting?

Nope.. not really seeing any "nasty comments"
