Did .top just lose 430,000 registrations?!

[Fancy.domains]

According to Domainpunch.com, .TOP today dropped 437,000 names and are now below 3 million registrations.

Massive loss! Obviously mostly because of all these campaigns a year ago.

p.p.s. And don't forget, that all these years .TOP exists without GoDaddy...

And without their Afternic as well...

.top is one of the most succesful new TLDs.
From it's meaning, it's the most successfull one.

.top is the chosen domain. It is the way everyone! Invest, invest, invest!

We can assume that the most deals (no matter which TLD) are not reported.

.top is the only answer.

From .top to .bottom

Not more than a sarcastic wording - but in fact there are still a few millions registered .top domains.
And the most expensive domain of all time is also a .top domain - so what?

.top CAN'T BE bottom, never, not possible.

...but if no one is renewing them it seems like they are

The whole domaining industry produces dying flies, especially and most dying .com flies.
Most domains dropped are .com domains.

.top is the only answer.

Wise words.

I am curious: why haven't top registrars taken up that extension?
Isn't that a red flag?
