names dropping 24 hours after expiry date why????????
Hi folks

Please can someone tell me when my name that had a expiry date of 09/28/2002 was registered by someone else 24 hours later. I was not given any grace period. Can anyone confirm there is and what the grace period is. I have names registered with enom/tucows and they give me at least a couple of weeks. But stargate just decide to let the name drop 24 hours after the expiry date.If i have taken for a sucker is there any legal avenue i can go down?

This is the email i got
???????????????.com expires on 9/28/2002. Failure to register ??????????????.com prior to the expiration date of 9/28/2002, will result in the loss of the domain name.

I then do a whois and see this.

Domain Name: ????????????????.COM

There is no reason to cross post any message in many forums. Post it once in the forum where it best fits. It will be read and answered.
