Any way, what is a little humorous to me, is that they masked the FTDSUCKS.com domain over FTD.com instead of killing the domain. To see what I mean, go ahead and click here www.ftdsucks.com

I tried the domain, but it looks like they pulled the plug. Was it masked (ftdsucks.com displaying ftd.com content) or redirected?
This is a pretty common ORM strategy, buying up domain names that could be detrimental to your brand. I bet FTD wishes they had paid a bit more attention to their online rep before the rant site was built in the first place :)
Still works on my end. Try doing a site command in Google to see it. e.g. site:www.ftdsucks.com
Ahh... they've masked the www subdomain to anniversaryflower.com.
However, they neglected the root domain without the www. Steller DNS job, FTD tech :)
The question here is, why did the owner of domain(FTD hater) sold this domain to FTD?
