Two big days coming up!

Like David and Mark always say, get in early to avoid disappointment

No it is time for them to upgrade their servers to cope with increased demand.

If customers are increasing you increase server capacity.

That would suck!

So auDA don't give you a chance to get your ABN sorted out? It's such an easy process, and I can't believe someone with so many decent domains could stuff it up. Poor bugger!

It is the kind of thing that saps trust from the market, reminds me a bit of the dark days in .com where names used to sometimes deleted for random and unclear reasons (see link about races.com below).

An expired ABN shouldn't be a reason for deleting a name, imagine if you didn't pay your council rates and the council gave your house away. I'm sure the deletion complies with whatever rules AUDA have but it leaves a wild west image where anything can happen to someone's assets.

Did you do a who is check on these domain when they were bidding today/yesterday, then trace the owner back to a thread here dated 2009.

I think it was clear why these domains were taken down if you read the said thread.

[James]

Seems as though Roland was able to get in his late minute proxy, oh well congrats on the numerous wins net fleet/Roland.

 

[Shane]

Netfleet is showing me as the top bidder for bait.com.au and incorporated.com.au yet they've registered them for other people.

What gives???

 

[James]

Reminds me of the .mobi land rush auction back in like 2007 where they had issues with the system not been able to cope, was a huge nightmare...

 

[snoopy]

I will pm you the info..

Cheers,

Have read it and I still don't think it is right to just be deleting valuable assets,

I'm not talking about AUDA policy (I'm sure they are allowed to do it) but rather the way things would work in relation to any asset. I don't think it matters if the previous owner was an axe murderer, in the real world his assets wouldn't just be given away by a regulator. So to have this kind of thing happening doesn't look great in my view.

The issue is trust in the marketplace in which people are investing and whether the regulator is really viewing domains as assets, if someone's domains can be deleted by a regulator that is a major problem in my view.

Hard to say but I think the thread on here people were just putting up their own opinion on the issue. I guess the owner of the domain knew best.

But yes I agree 100% with what you are saying, it places vulnerability on the market for some one too loose their whole portfolio over a mistake it is very worrying, turns away investors.

Snoopy please keep us posted on this.

It isn't something I have any information on other than what James sent me via PM.

Did you find out? Can you let us know

 

[Shane]

I've messaged the guys and will share the results.

Even if I log out of Netfleet and look at the snapper results, it still shows my bids of $518 and $257 as the winners. When logged in I can refresh the page from the screenshot and it still shows my winning bids in green.

Strange...

Absolutely, totally agree.

 

[Mark]

Yeah sorry again for this guys - we are looking at it right now. I have delayed the restart of the next auction until we get some answers

Thanks for your patience

Happened to me the other day with Recruitment.net.au, seems like that bug isn't fixed yet.

Can you/James PM me too. I'd be interested to know more, or if I was on the right track

 

[Shane]

Both names are now registered in my name. Thanks Netfleet!
