    Afternic Improving??!!

    Just got this e-mail from them.
    "Beginning in mid-July, names that have no live bids after 120 days of listing will be automatically de-listed. Eventually this threshold will drop to 30 days."

    Are they about to show some signs of improvement??!!

    kvinsencius.

    Where did you get this mail from, .. i haven't got one .. Darn !

    I told every one before long ago that this is part of the new regime at AN.

    You will soon see pay per name listing ... coming soon to AN,

    So you can kiss your $5, $10, $45, whatever good bye in the future, all that will be left if this is true will be their own names.

    What a joke only names with shills to remain listed, hard to believe when you cannot even change your profile or remove your names yourself as it is.

    There goes the neighborhood.

    Thats a real .... Muuu ha haaaa

    Ok ... correction to the above i just got URLY thing, they state that there will be no listing fee.

    Do you believe them.

    What a bummer having to relist every Month.

    No listing fee today, dies not meaning never no listing fee. They could always change their mind later.

    I haven't received any email from Afternic on this. Perhaps they know who not to sucker

    Looks like a face saving way out for Afternic to release tens of thousands of names on their so called list already expired or gone to different owners.

    Well, maybe some of my names will get some exposure now. They are lost in the jungle of millions of domains.

    Why did their membership fee jump from 10 bucks to 49.00 ?
    Pay more for less services.

    afternic will never be what it use to be...the escrow system is flawed and the continuous shill bidding is a BIG turnoff. afternic is falling to its ultimate doom.

    Don't write off AN.

    Wow, I'll be soooooo happy when they delist all my names! I gave up doing it manually after going through about 40 and realising there were over 900 to go.

    Why

    Do some get the email and others not.

    My $5 must have been lost in the crush.
