Prefix Para

Main Entry: 1para-
Variant(s): or par-
Function: prefix
Etymology: Greek, from para; akin to Greek pro before -- more at FOR
1 : beside : alongside of : beyond : aside from <parathyroid> <parenteral>
2 a : closely related to <paraldehyde> b : involving substitution at or characterized by two opposite positions in the benzene ring that are separated by two carbon atoms <paradichlorobenzene>
3 a : faulty : abnormal <paresthesia> b : associated in a subsidiary or accessory capacity <paramedical> c : closely resembling : almost <paratyphoid>

opposite of fun? Abnormal Fun? closely related to fun? Quasi-fun? kinda like the candle trademarkd parafun characture is having fun, but at the same time he is killing himself, by lighting his own wick?

I'm not entirely sure they're going to make sites. On WhoIs sites like BOLDFUTURA.JP and PARAFFUN.JP and YOSHIDAMEDICALRESEARCH.JP are still available and if they ARE trying to branch into America and Europe like they say they would use .com right? Well Dennis from Cloverfield Clues already now has PARAFFUN.COM and YOSHIDAMEDICALRESEARCH.COM. So if they were gonna put up sites don't you think they would have already purchased those sites even if they weren't live yet just to get them off the market? Not to mention if they were going to use other ones YMR.JP is already a financial place, YMR.COM was created in the 90s, BF.JP unregistered, BF.COM was created in 1994, and I don't know what you'd use to shorten ParafFun so I'm not even going to try. I don't think subsiderary sites are going up.

I think Slusho is the only subsidiary that mentions wanting to strike in the US markets.

I believe you're right Finch.

So by certain logic they should have established that site as slusho.com instead of jp...but they didn't.
I suppose they're not that concerned w/ the details as meticulous as they are. I believe you also pointed out "their" lax in creating the IG purposes and such for ParafFun...if those are the real purposes as opposed to a cover for that subsidiaries true agenda (ie. world domination Wink

).

If am not mistaken, Dennis bought parafun.com (or jp...i/d/k - 1 f), and paraffun.whatever ( 2 f's) is still available...

Matt Dark was right, I have PARAFFUN.COM and YOSHIDAMEDICALRESEARCH.COM. BTW, The domain PARAFUN.COM (one 'F') is also taken, but it is one of those spam link sites.

He said they wanted $99 to register that site and he wasn't willing to flip the bill.

That's right. But $99 is no big deal to the PMs, so they could still do these if they wanted to use the .JP versions. I'm guessing that they will probably just expand the Tagruato site, instead of adding new sites, like Lost did with the Hanso site.

My vote is with the existing Tag.Corp. site being expanded as well...
If the PM's wanted the other sites they would have bought 'em up long ago... Very Happy

It makes sense considering the Hanso sites you mentioned as well as
economically (I or OOG).
The branched subsidiaries are connected to the Tagruato tree...why
wouldn't the sites be as well?? Wink
