Sick and tired of Register.com

AvGuy · Feb 10, 2003

Im really sick and tired of Register.com the amount of times they have said a domain is available to register and when I try to register it I get.

Blah Blah Blah Sorry we couldn't blah blah already registered.

My most recent is: sparetime.org but when I check internic I get :

which means they registered it for someone. Could they have registered it for themselves ?

Register.com has been having whois problems for ages

especially for the names they suggest in the "Additional Addresses" area. I can't believe no one's taking care of the problem not even after months and months.
