Re: What time do IDN's drop ?

For a very short period indeed this information was extremely commercially sensitive. Nobody tells others what they intend to reg for themselves. That is not sharing that is suicide.

Anyway, don't worry your blonde head about it. Snapnames now scoop everything of value and if you want some of it you have to bid for it. Personally, I lost interest months ago.


I think Snaps not the only problem. Register.com and other registrars are now filtering and holding back the better idns when they would previously dump them. This reduces the amount of quality drops tremendously.

Last year around this time, there must be 10 times as many quality drops than as compared to now.

The lucky ones like Giant, RD and JC built up their portfolios during 2004 and 2005 when there was little competition.
