see the problem? if it were entered into an auction, i'd have been notified. here's the last message i received from godaddy (after i posted the above):

Support Staff ResponseDear SirMadam,

Thank you for contacting Online Support.

Unfortunately, you were unable to register your domain as it has been registered to another registrant. A refund has been issued for the registration fee.

Please let us know if we can help you in any other way.

Sincerely,

Eric O.

But it is not supposed to be like that. It is still the landrush period so all applications should be accepted.
Or maybe your domain has been applied for by someone else during the sunrise period and paid after its sunrise auction has ended that's why at one point it might have appeared as unregistered and on the next day as registered.

Looks like they've been adding to the reserve list. I queue up a couple and got a message saying they were not available several weeks later.

If they keep doing that i am sure there will be no cool ones left to register and .me will loose its buzz i saw that almost all domains like kill.me or catch.me and words that go with me at the end were reserved
