I would very much like to discuss this topic which is why I was annoyed at the nonsensical word vomit that was thrown my way.
I don't think you can paint renewal prices with that broad of a brush, many ngTLDs have been around for longer than a year with reasonable renewal rates and VERY reasonable transfer rates.
Now of course some have gone up a lot and there is no current deal on transfers or renewals anywhere but that is always subject to change, prices as we all know vary across different registries and change at different times, they are so variable that I think its nuts to say they all suck or they are all cheap neither is true.
To my original point, and I will not defend it anymore since I think it stands on its own, I was simply saying it isn't right to complain about a renewal fee if you can get a much better deal by transferring it somewhere but simply can't be bothered with all that "trouble".
I'm not sure what Zap was saying, I think I hurt her feelings by my unapologetic and sarcastic tone. I take offense however at the notion that I somehow don't accept diversity just because I prefer to have posts that challenge me make some sort of conversational sense and ideally be relevant to
literally anything I said.
Diversity, its the reason many of the posts in all these ngTLD threads leave me shaking my head. Different registrars, promos, personal strategy and how long you plan to hold, regist
ries with different strategies with regard to raising price or worst case reclassifying premiums as
@brindle123 and I have discussed before, etc. All this means speaking about the ngTLDs so generally makes far less sense than saying "I take issue with the current renewal price of [.xyz] and there is no decent place to transfer either".
Oh and just for context, I'm not sure if you directed that at me brindle but I'm not ranting on and double posting, her last 2 posts were removed I was simply responding.
