It has taken away all my desire to ever buy any more names on the forums no matter how good they sound and made me think about leaving the forums for good to devote 100% of my time to ongoing additional work on my current portfolio. Call it sour grapes if you want but the way Neustar handled the us reserves is really shocking to say the least.
Also quite disappointed this major news event was not discussed in the forums until well after the fact. The us reserve drops affair is kind off similar to the hundreds of fabulous 3 letter US names (plus some great place names) which quietly dropped earlier in the year and basically only one person knew about it and he got many hundreds of them for reg fees and virtually no one else was aware of it.
All the silence and lack of exposure and knowledge on this important stuff is the opposite of what you would expect from public news groups and defeats the purpose of the forums in a way. These comments are not intended to be negative toward the few domainers who succeeded in getting all these us names for peanuts but is still very discouraging and disheartening to other players who work long and hard and are left out in the cold so to speak.
