.tv Would Demand Media Answer The Allegations...

[MillersCrossing]

A perfect oppurtunity for QDALY to answer the allegation as to why LOANS.TV was allowed to be regged in MARCH, whilst at the same time not allowing any premiums to be regged by the general public.

Whilst , of course, this is not an illegal activity, it certainly is not something if true, that DemanD Media would want to be involved in......shady dealings with favoritism, not a good thing when you are supposed to be promoting an extention.....................

I look forward to a response from DEMAND MEDIA

Folks, I just checked a name that I am sure was a premium and was sold other than loans which means more than just loans.tv was sold. Take a look at this for Guide.TV:

The plot thickens!

Maybe this is their new strategy, selling by direct negotiations with serious end users only, instead of releasing the premiums?

Quite possilbly John,

But to treat the rest of us like a bunch of idiots with their brush off ....."these names are being held back etct etc ..." is arrogant, dishonest and disgusting...........

And whom decides who an end user is??? And who decides whom is serious?? And who makes contact with whom?? And which of a multitude of end users do they approach first???

This issue is starting to stink more every time I think about it....

 

[MillersCrossing]

Silence speaks volumes..............

I say much better to clarify the recent premium regges, then leave it buried under a murky fog of accusations of not playing fair.....

IF DM regged it themselves, for themselves fair enough....but if these are outside players, then clearly, the standard response to the premium reg request that ENOM gives is derisitory at best, downright dishonest at worst.....not a good way to start for a company seeking an IPO in the near future.....

I think they regged for themselves Millers Interesting one always on my list not a premium that they regged same time on 3/29, same privacy registration, Krista.tv

What was Krista doing on your list??!! Who is this Krista of whom you speak??
And if its not a premium, what makes you think it is DM??

 

[equity78]

Krista.tv was an available non premium reg that was regged 3/29 same time Loans.tv and Games.tv were regged I think same buyer since they all used Privacy and regged same day and time

Premium Names

Hi Everyone,

Apologies for not responding to this sooner. We are heads down as we have less than a month until our May 1st launch of our tools to support .tv. I will keep you all updated as we get closer.

Regarding the thread below, and as we have stated previously, if you are interested in purchasing a premium .tv domain name, you can fill in a form on channelme.tv. We are continuing to respond to inbound requests and evaluate sales on a limited basis, but are finalizing our strategy to make premium names available in a more automated fashion through our platform. More details soon.

Thank you, Quinn

So does this mean there are registrations occuring in a non automated fashion?

 

[equity78]

No offense Quinn but that explanation on Premium Release was just too ambiguous.

When will Premiums be available to Register? Bottom line Easy Question and the FORM? I and many others have filled out forms and never gotten an email reply.

And why don't you be honest about the REGS of Games and Loans these were Unregged Premiums DID DEMAND MEDIA register these? Or did some other entities with Prefential treatment register these?

And if you cannot give clear concise info I would rather you did not post the same tired recycled boilerplate response.

 

[DomainBuyerBroker]

I would like to know why they are catching .tv drops and keeping them.

Mobi.tv and Collectors.tv are two examples that I know about.

Save the bs pr response for idiots who actually fall for such crap. Why not admit that DM is doing under the table deals with premiums before making them available to everyone.
