Sure I make a joke for three years and she steals it?

That's OK I have others... 

Sounds like she's serious and not just squatting on a site name: (best wishes to her)

Barb Choit (1977, Vancover, Canada) methodically collects, archives, and expertly photographs refuse that would normally be swept up and thrown out. The photographs on view are part of the temporary storage archive of her Division Museum of Ceramics and Glassware – a project which interrogates and celebrates the impluse to collect and document a rapidly proliferating glut of disposables.

Thanks for pointing out why I didn't protect my dumb idea.  It was unremarkable.

I think you pretty much covered it. I've been making a joke about starting a site named CrapStock for years, maybe three. Also I call the Micro I do "CrapStock" as a way to separate it from people who do serious Micro shots, with models. Someone who shoots junk that she finds, has registered the name for the site, within the last two months and I suppose she's going to do something with it eventually. That's why I said, she's not just parking the name and holding it.

The reason I was looking the other day, is I was finally getting around to registering the name. Too late. You snooze you lose... someone else has it, I need a new site name and maybe one that isn't as negative. But I'll continue to label the people who upload things they find around the house and snapshots that they happen upon, as "CrapStock". 

And stupid ideas shouldn't be implemented.

I have multiple websites for useful purposes, spending the money to make CrapStock would only be good as a mockery and some entertainment.

I agree with you.

Yet another reason for not ever following through with the joke. I have a new one. Must have taken 20 minutes and I like it better. I agree while I can describe the snapshots and junk I've sometimes produced as CrapStock, it would be a double negative for a site.

I don't know why she went with the word stock? maybe Phoney CarpArt was taken. There's so much of it around nowadays. People making things and shooting junk, just for the sake of being different, which is about the extent of the art, no creativity. "Oh wow, how strange and bizarre can I be, without direction or reason." Not what can I do that's different, original AND creative.
