Anybody know if these actually dropped? They were scheduled to drop today. I had hoped they would be available at snapnames but alas I see it aint so
Anybody know what happened?
Nope, must've been reserved due to the TM scandal...Loans.info was supposed to drop as well...its all BS and I'm sure ICANN will make a hefty profit from this within the next coming years.
Lots of names were supposed to have dropped and it has not happened.
Yet another case of registries violating their own rules while ICANNt does absolutely nothing about it.
PocketDomains will most likely catch them when they go. Afilias/ICANN might as well let PocketDomains back the truck up and load whatever they want.

What I would really like to know is who's hiding behind PocketDomains and how they became #1 at catching .INFO domains the same day they entered the game.
If they dropped someone would pay too much any ways and in 7 yrs still be stuck with them. .INFO , premium words or not are a TOUGH sale. Infact prices today are just starting to surpass drop prices years ago. BAD investments from the start. Dont get me wrong many keywords have sold for big money but over all, poor performers.
... Which is exactly what many said about .com's in 1999, when many great generic word .coms were dropped by owners after holding them for 5 ot 6 years...Originally Posted by TheLegendaryJP
They are not hiding. If you were watching .info drops you would have seen his name popup every now and then.
As to how they became #1:
money plus a lot of work (with the right people)
www.bluepixel.gr I like .info!
Now accepting .gr domain registrations from any foreign company or individual. Contact me for details.
Juniper, dont you love this attitude? As long as you guys think that LLL and .com are the only money makers, I will continue to profit from .info, .net, and .org. Keep it coming.
Well, last year it was "Pocket Domain" with an address practically next to eNom which led to speculation that it was them. Right after than they started using WHOIS "privacy" to hide the data. I've never seen an actual name. I guess I've missed it?
My own opinion (which is a speculation) is that the way they've became number #1 has something to do with a little known but extremely effective .info drop-catcher called webagentur which basically stopped catching serious domains virtually the same day Pocket Domain appeared - and now they're out of the drop game completely.
with the type of hign end generic names, it would see right up the alleyway of Kevin Ham, but I'm not so sure if he is into .info's as big as he is with other extensions.
I don't know this for fact, but I think that PocketDomains are one or two fairly well known domainers who have some backing and some very aggressive drop-catch technology at work. I assume they are rapidly hammering away on the info drops with multiple servers. Having become stealth was obviously very important to them. I don't doubt back door alliance with a major registrar. dotINFO hard to catch imo.
