http://www.asia.asia/info/DotAsia-DomainsWithMultiApps--2008-03-13.txt

The list shows domain names receiving more than one application in Sunrise or Landrush.

After a quick checking, it shows 386 .ASIAs in the list has the .COM available.

E.g.

1a-marketing.asia
1a-place.asia
24h-computerservice.asia
2emarah.asia
888millions.asia
aanytime.asia (TYPO???)
accentureinnovationdelivered.asia
actuer.asia
acupunkturcenter.asia
adoptionlawyerattorney.asia
aecsindia.asia
airtravalcohol.asia

:yell:

All the names I've registered are listed there

 

[joexbl]

Its really wierd...i cant believe (multiple) people registered some real garbage on that list...seriously...wtf? :td:

 

[Kate]

Funny for sure but the same could be said about mobi.

Its really wierd...i cant believe (multiple) people registered some real garbage on that list...seriously...wtf? :td:

They must have been high when they were regging

Yes, why this happen???

 

[-REECE-]

I'm sorry to say it, but...

My first thoughts when I saw some of the names claimed to have been applied for by 2 or more parties was that DotAsia generated a script (similar to what Mtld did with .mobi) and wanted to keep all the good names for themselves (for auction), adding to this script domains that actually received 2 or more applications.

I can't get it out of my head that something isn't right here...

Agreed, Reece. Doesn't add up to me. I dont trust 'em. Im highly sceptical of the whole way they've gone about it - think about it:

- the whois data wasn't all updated before the landrush occurred - now suddenly it is - showing all generics and geos and most stuff of worth as 'reserved' by 'government' or 'community' lol
- all the wierd stuff that surely no real people regged. Heck, the dotcoms are still available after all these years the dotcoms still available - c'mon, sounds bogus to me.
- we were still allowed to put applications in for stuff that was registered and reserved ages ago...

bogus, dudes, bogus :td:

 

[lzy]

I pointed out all the crap names in the other thread but was thinking perhaps the registry was picking up a batch of names to fill up the auction list.

.aBSia :hehe:

 

[joexbl]

Now that i think about it, how can we even be sure that the entire landrush wasn't rigged? I wouldn't be surprised if all 'half decent' ones were deliberately bot-applied for by the registry to force an auction. Lets face it, they stand to make a lot of cash from the auctions. How do we know they are not bot-bidding?

Maybe im just a crazy conspiracy theorist but i just dont trust them at all.

Does dotasia have reserved premium names? If so, is there a list?

 

[trlsker01]

I am there...50% of what I've regged they flagged as restricted...
49% will go into auction...1% I did not see on auction qualified list, of which were unlikely names for revenue generation. wtf

 

[joexbl]

Yep, seems they reserved all the really good generics and ALL geos are reserved as 'government' or 'community' - like shoes.asia :td:

80% of mine were reserved and 20% going to auction. What a farce.

 

[james2002]

Yes, it is bizarre. I think the people who register those domains are either new to domain planet or did type in error.

 

[mwzd]

Thx for the list.

A couple of clients of mine applied for a lot of names, ALL of them are in this list. Not surprising though, generics would be.

I for one am recommending they stay out of the bidding, except for a few that they really need.

 

[likepeas]

so if i dont bid do i get back the $ for godaddy?

 

[Name Trader]

I can't get it out of my head that something isn't right here...

I ordered a domain (personal) during the landrush which got taken by somebody else during landrush without any auction. Both the registrar and registrant are HK companies. Something isn't right here...

 

[trlsker01]

so if i dont bid do i get back the $ for godaddy?

The question is...what if only just 2 reggers after the same name, both will not bid...will they give the name to the ones who regged 1st???

Forget it, I think they'll just snag it for themselves!!!
