Moniker is Rigged.

[Smiler]

I cannot believe that every register in the universe is rigged with tasters including Moniker dot com. These guys are just taking all the good names I wanted to register. I was going through a bunch of names at moniker about 8 hours ago to see if its available and sure enough it was. There is no way in the world this could have been a coincidence because 2 of the domain names I wanted to register was registered in less than 8 hours. That never happened with me before. I mean I have better luck winning the $330 million ticket from Mega Lottery last night compare to loosing out on 2 domain names in less than 10 hours. I am sick of it because I did a very extensive research obtaining these names and it all came to nothing. I just started using moniker a couple of days ago because people were saying that they never lost a name there from just looking it up. Well today I can prove them wrong. I made a list of registrars I've used in the past in which some of the names I wanted to register were taken from me.

1) Namecheap
2) Moniker
3) Whois.ws

...Just register the domains you want, park them right away to see if there is some traffic and after 4 days you can drop the useless ones.

You only pay a 25 cent "restocking fee" ...Frank

Or use Dynadot- No restocking fee.

If what you say was true, why do your research with them? Look up your names elsewhere, don't use any of the biggies...Frank

But if the below is true from one of the above postings then it really wouldn't matter which Registrar you use.

"There are rumors that this information is being obtained at and sold directly at the verisign registry which bypasses all and any registrars."

I wouldn't say Moniker would register domains someone else checked and did not register, one should just change their mindset about researching a domain and delay to register.

If there is one company i would trust it is Moniker as well as Fabulous.

Because i personally would approach it like this should not be taken as a accusation of Moniker tasting right from under their clients as i don't believe that.

I suggest Registering names when you see they are available ....

Exactly, reg them, don't like, delete it within 4 days.
