I think the guy at Cloverfield clues quickly bought the domain name of one of the subsidiaries mentioned in the Tagruato Corp site once it was discovered and make it a redirect to his site. Smart marketing move, but nothing sinister.

Cloverfield clues is a regular poster on Unfiction, I'm sure he'll explain.

I'm referring to the fact that one of the Kagashima's is the registrant of Paraffun.com. Does that mean that CloverfieldClues is making an inside joke, or that he might have made the Tagruato website too?

I'm really confused. I hope somebody explains.

Doesn't this just hinder our efforts more. I'm geting rather tired of false leads thanks to fans registering and creating false websites, especially if it's for marketing.

I think the reason they (cloverfieldclues) used godaddy.com is because it's a cheap and dependable domain registrar. It's who I use for my personal sites. It doesn't matter where a company purchases their domain name through, but it would make sense for them to purchase all of them through the same company for billing/management reasons.

You can also see that the domain paraffun.com was just registered, as opposed to the other two being registered in July.

You'll notice that Dennis (CloverfieldClues) also registered ParaffunWax.com and used his real registrant information there.

http://whois.domaintools.com/paraffunwax.com

Should anyone think something sinister was afoot, he could have just as easily used the same spoofed registrant info there but didn't.

Hmmm, so does this mean we won't be getting a separate paraffun website? Or will it be something random like paraffunwaxisawesome.jp?? It seems odd for them to leave those obvious ones out there for potential gamejackers to use -- good thing cloverfield clues is wise enough to snatch them up first.
