For Sale Has the "domain drop" time been changed?

[ad-lib]

Today I decided to wake up at 6:15 am and catch a few domains.
And continually refreshed my browser, up n till 6:55 am.
WTF? Then I come back at around 2:55 PM, and suddenly the domain(s) are available.

So whats the new drop time?
Oh and answer my Snapnames (vs) Expirefish question...

 

Around 2PM. Go to bed

Are you serious? Drop time changed to 2pm like a year ago

F*cking A.
Back in like November-January I would get up everyday at 6:25!!!
Every single day.

All that wasted sleep.
Oh well, got nothing else to do. No Job. And Ima drop out. haha

I find that all the Verisign names I try to catch drop anywhere between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM Eastern time.

 

They did that so that we get more sleep

I believe there are at least two drop times - some still drop at the 5am edt - or at least i regged one that wasn't available before n after 5 got it - can anyone confirm that?

I do one of my searches every morning at 5:00 AM Eastern time and I don't remember any Verisign names dropping. I have, though, registered several names in the last year that have dropped from Tucows and NamesDirect at 5:00 AM.

Maybe they release some of their names in batches also. I always check -- just in case.
