.tv What's happened to AHEAD?

[GoneWalkabout]

Looks like all those people looking for PREMIUM info will need to find another source.

AHEAD.tv looks like it has not been renewed.

I certainly hope this is a blip. If not, then I would like to thank POLIN for running a wonderful service over the years.

Whois is shows:
Expiration Date: 11-nov-2011

Whois is shows:
Expiration Date: 11-nov-2011

it is the automatic 40 days grace renew from verisign

Registrar (ENOM) shows :
Creation date: 11 Nov 2007 09:00:45
Expiration date: 11 Nov 2010 09:00:00

so it is expired, but of course owner can renew it for regular fee at next 40 days

 

[Makis.TV]

dns still resolve too :D

 

[dr manos]

yep ENOM set their parking name servers dns1.name-services.com till dns5 just after expiring

 

[xmsmmgr]

any other alternative out there ?

 

[vincenzo]

I am suprised.
I would have thought somebody here in .TV land would have gladly taken-over the project instead of letting it drop?

Look guys, I have very good memory, so if you're looking to check any premiums that you would like to catch - please just PM me the list and I will try to remember the premium fees

I'm mainly interested in $500-$1000 prems

This site was maintained by Polin (on this forum) I think. He recently sold many good domains here... Most of his expired domains got picked up at NameJet auction for high prices (like WorldRecords.TV for $420, and so on). IMO he probably forgot to renew the domains!

so rest assured, it'll be renewed.

If he sold some and dropped other it probably isn't an accidental expire. Sounds like he is getting out of .tv, if so then I doubt ahead.tv is sellable for much even as a developed site.

I suppose the most obvious next question is this:

How can the world discover if a name was/is a premium?

 

[tech4]

Its probably has to do with everyone dumping their .tv on namepros.

Else where on the web, I don't see sign of life.

Also its probably due to the news that .Tuvala will be up for renewal soon.
With the market being down, its impossible to invest when things continue to slide down.

You download or ask for the original list and chances are if it's on there it is.

I don't have the time to respond properly.

Richard, it would be greatly appreciated if you ( or any other regualr here ) could shed some light on the tuvala renewal - i've seen a couple of ominous postings here recently - both alluding to the unviability of the .tv hack.

TJ the facts are the contract runs through December 31,2016.

OK, thanks. Just saw the thread here "What happens to .tv after 2012?" , the gist of it being that neither Verisign or Tuvalu are discussing the renewal rendering all comments as purely speculative opinions. So you know id there a concise history of the .tv cctld use as a tv brand anywhere - i see from that thread wiki entry isnt particulary accurate?
