JohnLocke just DMed the message below to everyone. The word "Offshorecorptalk" is now a registered trademark within Europe. I'm curious what he think the practical use of this could be for him. It costs a few thousand euros to register and doesn't yield much for a company of this size. I've registered a few trademarks myself, and I never got much out of them.
I also found this statement quite hilarious: "Over the past months, organic traffic from search engines has grown significantly. Compared to roughly six months ago, visibility has increased several times over. More importantly, the type of traffic has improved as well. We are seeing more experienced users, more real cases, and more practical discussions around"
The forum is so dead I can see tumbleweeds flying across my screen. So called 'new' members who ask a generic question once and then never appear again are supposedly representing the increased activity. Of course, it's just the same old trick of fake profiles.
What's even sadder—I could give three recent examples if I had to—is that passersby who actually offer useful and lengthy, substantive advice are immediately banned. Imagine if John Locke lost the monopoly on his ChatGPT articles-to-scams pipeline.
Yet, unfortunately, there are still people who fall for his scams otherwise he wouldn't be trying so hard to keep this shallow place alive making such moves.
