For Sale Domain Catching Memories - Secrets Revealed

[Harmonia]

which are the good programs for drop game nowadays?

There are still lots of good names to be manually regged. You just have to hunt a little harder nowadays, that's all.

SnapNames used to be awesome. If you had a SnapBack reservation --you got the domain when it dropped --100% of the time.

Ah, the good ol' days!

Snapnames was never "100%".

my first catch was kuwaitnet.net since it was registered earlier either since 96 or 97 i kept whosing daily then got it via femail template, a year later i got Q8.org back in 98 using email template it was reg'ed to the first ISP in kuwait (kuwait.net), i remember NSI whois used to show ON HOLD status so it might drop anyday soon so nice

also one of my nice catches was bitchx.net the famous IRC client which caused me 1 year of DDoS attacks and lots of money on wasted traffid :-D

then i stopped looking after domains and specialized into unix and hosting and wokeup in year 2002 and came to the game again.

I remember pc.net was registerd at Doregi that supported 1 click. Doregi was so powerful. Maybe you guys thought it was mysterious becasue doregi didn't have English pages.
At that season I got supporter.com that is only nice name I think.
Most of Korean domainers did hand-regi thru 2 nice registrar-doregi and IBI at PC-bang(internet cafe).
I remember I used to turn on a lot of computers up to 30 for drop time using keytext.
Imagine that!! so funny.

 

[GodBlessYou]

wow, supporter.net is rather nice domain, should have kept it !

Gnie.

Interesting story about PC-bang.

In 2001, Korean so strong.
Especially Hanjin Ko, I remember.
Drop time was also good for Asian. Around our dinner time.

Now, Time is very bad for Asian. 2AM 3AM... It is severe for Asian business person.
Who diceided change the drop time at that time ?
North America were jealous of Korea and Hong Kong ???

Agreed.

Not so much. I can testify enom and NW grabbed more than their share from some of my snapbacks a few years back.

The game has changed drastically in referance to high calibre names.....it's all but over for most without deep pockets.

Look at it from the bright side, the jokers who won will have to pay the sky that could prove to be a losing proposition in the end. Traffic, assumed or otherwise, cuts both ways. It could bleed your bandwidth dry instead of resulting in any sustainable, or imagined, earnings. Paying high-end retail/end-user prices for a "drop" is emotionally-driven auction stupidity - fools and their money are soon parted. Line the pocket of others if you have a couple of tens of thousands of dollars, they need it to feed their kids.

fools and their money are soon parted

There seems to be an endless supply of fools and their money.
