.tv Let's be honest about the GoldRush

[donnied79]

I was thinking..
We are all still a little bit afraid (me first) aobut names registered during the GoldRush.
But why should we?
Like everyone else I've checked most of the names in this thread http://www.namepros.com/dot-tv/646396-name-com-drops-331-premium-tv.html and they were not available.
So it couldn't have been a glitch.
Everything was intentional and we will keep our names..
What do you guys think?

Its not a glitch, verisign let these domains as reg fee and we got to register them.
eof.

 

[twomoon]

Agree with you. I think we will keep them.

The truth is it doesnt make a jot of difference if we announce our names or not. Verisign does not need to know the owners, they need to know the names...and they can easily see which names :

1. if they were really premium all along, then they would have a database of the names - in which case, we would have heard something by now...or whenever they decide within the 30 day timeframe, but they certainly do not need to know who the owner of these names are to take them back....

2. they could easily refer to their database of names that were declassified as premiums and are enjoying all us domainers hiding our little secret - to scared to dare call its name!!

So i will start - my names are...hold on a second , I think there's someone knocking at my door.....

I am pretty confident that we will be able to keep them at this point. The 5 day grace period is up and I spoke with Dynadot yesterday to confirm which names are premium and none of the GR names were premium.

My guess is that these names like the thousands of other "former" premium names were going to be released at reg fee and they just let them out a bit early. Perhaps this was done to generate buzz which actually worked extremely well, but just because they were released early does not mean they were suppose to be premium.

My list is belo..... wait, someone is at the door...

Hey, I rather have Verisign knock on my door than my wife knock on my door when the credit card bill comes

The way you've been spending on names, you'll need your wife, the postman, and the neighbours, just to help you get the bill through the door!!
