    Direct AU's

    I haven't posted on DNT for around 2 years, but figured I'd come back for this announcement given that it was such a massive issue back in the day, and is finally happening... So many different opinions from different people in different domainer type groups. Some think it will hurt com.au...

    The rising popularity of .Com in Australia

    To be fair, Cotton On has a billionaire owner and "over 1,400 stores in 18 countries" according to Wikipedia, so it's hardly typical of Australian SMEs. I'm amazed this whole debate is still going on TBH... Surely it's always been the same; if the .com is available, register it. If it's on...

    Some 10-14 year old .com domains for sale

    Time to clean out some of my oldest domains. All geos, mainly Brisbane suburbs. Some have developed websites from 10+ years ago. They're pretty bad, but were my entry to the online world many years ago. I've popped the create year in there to show just how "aged" some of them are...

    Tim Resigns

    Good on you Tim. auDA is a joke. The board and CEO must be so proud of themselves...

    what does this advertising mean?

    I imagine it's nothing more than Neustar wanting people to renew before 1 July so they get the money rather than Afilias. I'd do exactly the same in their situation.

    nicole resigns

    For both Nicole and Ned to resign within a year of being elected, I think it says more about auDA than it does about the individuals. I don't think we can blame either of them. Knowing both Ned and Nicole, I've no doubt they did their best in a tough environment. Tim, I knew you were...

    tim, why so silent ?

    I don't know what else people expect Tim to do. It's a numbers game right? Demand just don't have the numbers to do anything. Tim could be screaming until he's blue in the face, but it won't change a thing. And yes, Tim could vote against everything and make sure his objections are always...

    auDA PRP Peak Body concerns?

    What a joke... Which "Peak Business Body" does she represent? Canstar is not even close to fitting this criteria! Just to clarify, this is directed 100% towards auDA and not Ms Seaton or Canstar. It makes me sad what people at auDA are trying to do to our country's domain space, all in the name...

    Ned resigns from auDA

    It's a great shame, but as mentioned, of course health and family comes first. Thanks for your huge contribution Ned. We don't get to hear much about the auDA side, but no doubt you did your best for members. So who is putting their hand up this time? I've applied and been knocked back twice...

    Nice one! Just need the price to start heading north again.

    Is auDA in breach of its SGM commitments?

    It's a disgrace and an insult to members. Every day I'm thankful that I stepped aside for Ned last year. There's no way I'd want to be involved in this mess.

    Lottery Model Proposed for .AU

    For sure. The only real winners in this situation would be net.au holders who got lucky in the lottery.

    Lottery Model Proposed for .AU

    Only a person who's never run a business of their own could propose something as preposterous as a lottery.

    Latest stats for the Australian namespace

    I imagine it's not so much about growing "the market", but making sure the existing market (i.e. businesses in Australia) are using a com.au domain over the competing extensions. That's my take on it. Not growth for the sake of growth, but genuine growth.

    Bitcoins

    I'm officially a member of the 21 million club. Those daily deposits were a killer - cost me thousands in lost profits. Anyway, I'm done now. Bitcoin to the moon! :p

    Billion dollar hand regs

    I'm reading 'Killing Fairfax' at the moment. It's a great read, which focuses on how Fairfax was smashed by a couple of little startup websites... I thought these two excerpts would be of particular interest to domainers: Imagine picking up realestate.com.au or carsales.com.au as hand...

    2017 Board Elections

    Neither have you though, have you? I have plenty of domains and other services with VentraIP, and have been a client for over six years, yet I can't recall ever being asked for my thoughts.
