Brokered offer of $10,000 dollars indicates end-user value? Find premium domains registrant forgot to renew; NameJet's new look, good or bad? Lost access to my domains at GoDaddy; .XYZ Registry grabs back most dictionary domains that drop.
Broker Offer Question - $10,000 Offer

How to Find Premium Domains that Owner Forgot to Renew
The quest is simple: Find premium domains that dropped due to their registrant's lack of a renewal, aka "forgetting" to renew. Is there a direct answer, however, or is the subject a bit more complex? The thread-starter wasn't happy with the short responses. Share your own ideas in this thread.

NameJet's New (old) Design
NameJet rolled out a new design last week, that was remarkably underwhelming; it's an almost complete cloning of sister company's web site, SnapNames. Was this a smart move or a complete fail? Cast your vote in the poll included in this thread.

Lost access to my domains at GoDaddy
A domain investor with 6 domains in his account claims that access to his account was removed by GoDaddy; most likely it was a security alert due to using a questionable payment method. GoDaddy refunded the cost of the domains but the investor is not happy.

.XYZ Registry reserving almost all single English word domains to registry upon drop
On the look for dropping, single word, dictionary domains ending in .xyz? You may not get a chance. A NamePros member noticed that the majority of these drops result in the domains' getting reserved by the .XYZ Registry. Share your thoughts on this practice.
