Curious about a domain that is passed its drop date..

[KingDomainNames]

Just out of curiosity, the name consolidations _co_uk has passed its due drop date, but hasn't dropped.

The domain is showing as active (parked page).

The registrant is showing as "T/A Dropcatcher", who it appears has disappeared, according to this recent thread on Acorn.

I have noticed that several premiums domains of theirs are in a similar state.

Is this a normal situation ?

Many thanks,
Steve

This happens a lot with his domains and some of the other big players with large portfolios.

Thanks for your reply Admin.
Much appreciated.
Do you know why the domain hasn't dropped yet ?

And is it likely to drop?

I'm also watching one of theirs in this state.

Me too, We must be all at it.

The one I'm looking at is about 6 weeks past it's scheduled drop. Hope nothing serious has happened to the Guy, perhaps causing Nomint to put all his domains on indefinate hold

Chris is probably pottering about in Spain enjoying the sun!

Dependig on invoicing times & dates there's often some quirky drop schedules.

Most of Chris & Ronnies domains are renewed... eventually!

They usually say renewal required at least. Qia today still looks like its dropping.

Just noticed: If the whois for the recent gyminstructor renewal is anything to go by, Chris seems fine 'n' dandy, which is good news.
(I notice many of TagNames' domains get renewed last minute too)
Interesting stuff. Thanks for the input everyone.

It's been this way for years http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/gener...nd-chc-dropcatcher-domains-held-dropping.html

Thanks for the link Admin - an interesting read.

Ah - just realised that a couple reg'd to 'T/A DropCatcher' that I'm watching are also the same.

Went 'suspended' but then last week they went back to 'renewal required' even though expiry date is end of Jan.
