I never seem to catch any expiring .ca names from Pool or GoDaddy. Who usually catches a lot?

Well, considering that Pool is a Canadian company, it would make sense that they show some interest and/or emphasis on the .ca drop situation.

But as stated above, the .ca domain drop market is somewhat iffy... although we have only dropped, and not caught drops ;)

Its really a crapshoot who catches what and when. Just not enough quality names to go around for everyone.

Zoobar, I think you are worng. There are usually 200-230 names dropping every day in .ca registry and many 20-30% will be registered! So, .ca has much more registrations from droplists. You can visit www.Every.ca for daily reports for all dropped names.

There is some decent .ca drops, but most of them are registered *cough* before the drop *cough* by a select few. I think most of us know who they are.

Just a side note. I took a look at your site, every.ca. Looks like a good site for information, but you should really think about developing your own layout instead of taking CNN's.

There are many good avail .ca but not alot of focus in the canadian ext. Thus, not many players in the .ca field. But I will say sibername and pool play pretty good in snapping .ca.

What do you mean? Do you think there is some kind of unfair play on the background? When CIRA drops the names every registrar has a chance to pick them up. Even thought there are selected few people that always pickup some names they are doing so through few registrars. Due to this fact
I think the whole process is fair.

re: CNN
The CNN site is different, all the graphics actually different. It is just you think that this is CNN because not too many sites using these colors, but
if you really compare www.every.ca to CNN you will see that they use a totally different graphics. We are using same script though :-)

Totally different graphics?. Ok, I'm not blind. I don't want this thread to turn into a big conflict or anything, but its an obvious rip. Anyone can see that. As a developer myself, I feel the need to step up and say something. Its always annoying to have people rip your own designs.

The menu is obvious. The "MOST POPULAR" blue images are obvious. The search area is obvious. CNN likes to change stuff around, so its not quite as obvious as yesterday. See the following link.

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:XBvJ7pr5NuMJ:www.cnn.com/+cnn&hl=en

Then look at your site. Basically the same header. You replaced the netscape icon with a canadian flag. Replaced CNN logo with your own. Same blue edge. Same blue rounded corner.

Your "make this your homepage" is a rip of "make cnn.com your homepage".

You got the same table borders, and even the red lines.

The list could go on. Its that obvious.

The site looks similar to CNN. What's your problem? I like the way you talking " I need to step up" like some kind of superhero. Relax, there are
hundreds of similar sites.

There are sites that look similar, and there are sites that are obvious rip offs. Yours is a ripoff. My problem is that people shouldn't get away with stealing other peoples designs. Just because there are lots of similar sites doesn't make it right.

I didn't steal anything from CNN. The script used on this site is legally sold, and it can be used by everyone. It is too bad you make judgements like accusing other people.
Your lack of knowledge about this issue can't justify the attitude that you showing.
Thank you for your comments. I won't post anything in this thread anymore.

I find it hard to believe that CNN's CMS is available to purchase/download.
