Two new features:

View domains you've been outbid on.


Still $8.75 to start.

And still, they're user interface blows chunks.

That new bid tool is next to useless.

THEIR user interface.

How the heck do you get to generate a password reminder under their new system. I can't get into my NameWinner account, but there are no domains in the associated Dotster account so I can't generate a password reminder based on a domain name!

Totally. I had hopes that some of the improvements they were working on would result in logical and efficient navigation.
HA HA HA, I crack myself up!

I noticed one thing that was a little disturbing. I finally got around to reviewing my purchase list yesterday and saw there were two names on it that I no longer wanted. I did a check and found that both of those names had dropped and were sitting unregistered! I quickly deleted them from my purchase list. Was glad in the end not to get them, but troubled that NW did not pick them up when they were available like they should have.

Same thing. Got outbid on 8 names in first 10 minutes. NW is a joke from what I read and my own experiences. Whats to stop them from jacking up domain bids, or insiders bidding on names? Lets face it, there is no honor the the domain name system. Thanks to nesol/Icann, DNS is in shambles. For as long as they were supposed to be snapping names, their list isn't all that impressive. Very few "prime" names.

The reason you got outbid so fast is because many people are adding 1000's of domains at a time right now. Don't get upset just because you got outbid. There is going to be some crazy stuff going on as everyone gets up to speed after a month off from the drops.

As I was adding domains I could tell that some of the regulars were not back yet.

NW got a domain for me which also had a snap on snapnames...
I was thinking about removing the name from my list when i realized that there was a snap on it but NW got it for me...

Thanks NW

 

[DaddyHalbucks]

Yea, NW beat Snap once or twice for me too. Maybe they have more bandwidth.

For the most part I don't bother chasing the 'A' domains that other speculators are also seeking. It's too hard, expensive, and unproductive.

Let all you guys fight over the blonde. I'll take her friend --the chubby brunette-- back to my place and go at it all night long.

Oops, I'm married now, and those days are over. But you know what I mean..

 

[Drewbert]

>would result in logical and efficient navigation.

Yeah. Why do they insist on an EXTRA screen to confirm adding a name to your WATCH LIST???

I've received a notification email that i've been outbid on WWF.com -
Something in their system must be wrong..definately.

Congrats DotDuDe, when did this happen?

 

[Sharpy]

Since they came back up I have recieved 34 outbid notices. Most of these names were renewed 2 months ago. WTF?
