Not only snatched up, but harder to get the registration thru. Speaking of, these registrars needs to clean up whats showing available, but won't reg. They are just causing a big waste of time. Today ran across "Computer Games.com" as available in Simp. Chinese....alas, another no-go! My paypal account is a pile of reversed charges! Any ideas out there???

If you use Domainsite I just use a credit card instead of Paypal Also

To stop people from registering the same things over & over please see the thread in the members section with
Block & unregisterable domains.

Please contribute because 3 months later you will try to register the same thang thing again....

I did... several times.

It's not a matter of getting the registration thru -- it's because the traditional form was already taken, or the japanese was similar enough that it mapped to the same punycode.

I agree, domainsite should do the check before sending you to the payment screen, but that may have to do with resource management. I'm already getting MySQL errors now and again during registration (which thankfully don't affect processes).
