Drops today - May 2012

[zhenjie]

Yeah I was the underbidder (on behalf of an end user). GG to whoever won it.

I was amongst the final few second bidders too. Wife is a town planner...

I see it went to a good home though.

Don't know about that!

A load of "Billich" names dropping today (14). By design or accident I wonder?

Charles Billich is the artist with a gallery in "The Rocks".

They still retain Billich.com.au

Drops are taking an abnormally long time today. 1.37pm and nothing yet.

Yes - I think something might be askew. There was scheduled maintenance this morning at Ausregistry so perhaps they've hit a problem (I've lodged a support ticket so will find out more shortly)

I noticed that something was up this morning - couldn't do a WhoIs check at Ausregistry. (Though that part is working now).

Drops have fallen over today - but if you are quick enough, you can hand register some names!

i went to register a domain today at crazydomains and it told me it was available, i really didn't believe it so i typed it into the url bar and it had a website on it but crazydoms let me go right through to the payment section for that domain !

i then went over to inww and it showed the registered domain
