Domainlore ?

3gmedia · Jul 6, 2019

How long does it take Domainlore to process catches?

They caught 3 names for me:

***.uk ( 2 bids )

UKweather.uk ( 1 bid )

Theater.uk ( 1 bid )

Anybody know whats happening over at Domainlore?

Pretty sure he's just busy dude - I'd give him a few days..

It looked as though someone was DDOS'ing just before 2pm too.

Thats a bit odd, i checked the tag on ukweather.uk and it says:

[Tag = OSTASHKO]

Is that a DL page ? I backordered a couple and never got any confirmation or anything.

Aye. Go to the RoR bids page and there's a list of the names you ordered with their catch status.

Although give it a swerve for the time being because DomainLore is under DDoS attack again right about now

dee · Jul 6, 2019

so he is. Why though ? seems a bit bizarre DL would get targetted.

3gmedia · Jul 6, 2019

I think it was someone very disgruntled about all the good catches

dee · Jul 6, 2019

lol.... thats seriously pissed off ! It's not like it's news though. He always does well. And how much effort must go into taking down a site like that.

I hope all is ok, i made a deposit to dl last night, it all went through my end 'paypal confirmation' but isnt shown as topped up in dl account yet.

It'll be safe. Denys is straight down the line I've found.

Yeah - you don't need to worry at all..

3gmedia · Jul 6, 2019

@dee Thank you

Just had this from Denys,

Hi Nigel,

There will be no auctions for domains which I was able to catch exclusively for you.

Theater.uk was caught by someone else, but he has agreed to sell the domain name on DomainLore, therefore it'll be auctioned soon. Your bid will automatically enter you into the auction.

Please await e-mails with further updates and instructions to claim your domain.

Hey ho, the reason i thought i'd won theater.uk is because it had 1 bid next to the result.

Were prebids visible to everyone on DL before? or no

You weren't directly placing a bid were you? you were asking Denys/Domainlore to catch it for you, and if there were other takers it would go to auction?

No prebids were visible

I was asking Denys/Domainlore to catch it for me.

There were no other takers, there was only 1 bids on result list.

Why should someone who shouldn't have even known about your requested catch, be able to list your catch, when it was the only request

The rules seem made up as they go along..

^ Assuming you're right btw and requested catches weren't publicly shown, but even then.. how could there be a clause that "you can request a catch, if you're the only bidder you get it.. unless someone on my hosted catching gets it

then we will auction it"

Yes i know, something is a bit fishy here, i do feel as though i've been done up like a kipper but what can i do about it?
