I am advised that Verisign have cancelled all drops today due to technical problems. Anyone know anymore ?

[HuntingMoon]

I received my notice. They say all drops will be withheld until approximately Jun 22 due to a database glitch that has to be rebuilt manually with hundreds of thousands of names.

Apparently it is causing an indefinite day for all renewals as well.

So 3 weeks without drops..? Maybe people will buy more on forums

 

[BELLC1]

Um...was kidding. I couldn't resist!

 

[DomainMagnate]

argh.. didn't notice the "manually with hundreds of thousands of names." part

I got the same email as well with pool.

probably due to the fact that NSI leases out some servers at ThePlanet, which had a server farm explode over the weekend affecting over 9,000 servers.

They are still trying to get it right after 4 days...

And if you think I'm kidding, check the IP on any of NetSol's parked expireds....

The email I got said it was Verisign only, so would that affect the other TLDs and ccTLDs other than .com?

verisign = .com & .net
They also manage a few ccTLDs but they are not reported as affected by the glitch
