ARE REGISTRARS UNFAIRLY STEALING DOMAIN DROPS?

November 13th, 2008 Posted in Bad Registrars, Big Domain Doggies, General Domain News

Props to Mike at TheDomains.com for running this popular blog article. It seems to have touched a lot of nerves, and the heat is cooking a tasty marbled ribeye I have sitting next to my computer monitor. I recommend everyone reading my blog who hasn’t seen this article and the comment threads to make a sandwich and read:  http://www.thedomains.com/2008/11/12/michael-mann-on-domain-hoarding-by-registrars-and-the-wls/

[UPDATE] I’m deferring back to Mike’s site in all fairness to his original article.

    Thanks for the props

    I agree with you and I have been saying for a while the only answer to this problem is to adopt a process similar to the old WLS system in which there is like you say, one central place where everyone has to go to backorder a domain. One backorder per domain and if it drops the backorder holder gets it.

    All domains have to drop in such fashion.

    No auctions, no scripting, no registrar hoarding.

    The question does remain who is going to run the service and where the money will go.

    But domainers should push for such a system as the alternatives as we have seen as substantially worse

    They are stealing these names 100% and making profit from us!

    Thanks to Mike for putting alot of spotlight on this - I say we boycott all the parties involved and they wont be able to operate in this way no more!
