Chris Holland/CHC/Dropcatcher domains held from dropping?

retired_member12 · 30-09-2010, 01:11:01 PM

Any idea why Nominet are not letting Chris's domains drop? Is there something going on in the background we haven't heard about?

hasnt this been a recurring theme/discussion for a while now?

Must have missed that if it was, i'd checked for other postings first. We understand about the Matt holdbacks obviously, but that doesn't apply here. Wondering if Nominet can't let them drop for a reason.

oooo i think i might be getting this crossed with tagnames domains??

maybe ignore me today lol...

One of tagnames dropped this week, so they do drop sometimes.

I spoke to them, they very rarely let domains drop but they do allow them to be suspended to stimulate enquiries.

If you're on about Chris, then that's not it, loads are well past drop date. Nominet won't hold drops on that basis, that's for sure!

I am sure they have some kind of arrangement, why not email him? I said 'them' as he referred to his domains / portfolio using 'we' so presumably its more than just Chris

Edit: Btw my contact with him was 4 days ago.

Marines.co.uk is a good example of this

Should have expired on the 27th, however don't "Tags" get a few days more?

Looking it up, it looks like they get 97 days?

These are a lot older than that (due drop dates stated):

evaluations .co.uk - 16 June 2010
calmly .co.uk - 17 June 2010
arrogance .co.uk - 5 August 2010
accepting .co.uk - 11 September 2010
vapor .co.uk - 13 September 2010
anesthesiologist .co.uk - 15 September 2010
