With the Bulgarians taken out... RobM AWOL

There seems to be a new catcher in town: DROPPED-UK

Have they got a public drop catcher service?

They have stopped catching. Apparently bidding on auctions instead. No official response from Nominet.

I haven't heard any news about Bulgarians being closed down by Nominet. I'd be surprised if that had happened.

I noticed Gueek in action this week, because they caught one of the religious domains I was after - but me, Gueek, we're each entitled to go after a name.

Hmmm.... that might be called 'keeping your head down'. It will be more instructive to wait and see who catches what in September when the Ionos and Fasthosts .uk names drop (if they do).

Unless a number of DACs have been linked ?

They can still keep all the tags but if Nominet linked the DACs it would have the same effect

We'd probably be on a more even playing field if some did that

Fantastic service you offer too - we have had a few great catches by yourself

I noticed Dropped-UK take about 50% of what we were chasing over the last 3 days. Higher than I've ever seen any single vendor in a long time. Seems unusual.

There's no real downside to registering with multiple catchers.

Tried contacting you a few times via your site regarding your service, could you PM me please.

And we now have DROPPED-DOT-UK, let me guess, the previous tags have been blocked for 24 hours...

Who's first in line for a new tag tomorrow?

super-whois · May 4, 2020

And DROPPED-DOT-UK has been substituted for DROPPED-UK on the Ukbackorder.com list.

Something is fishy here.

LOL all i hear is bitching..

dropped.uk · May 4, 2020

Caught domains are transferred to DROPPED-UK upon catch so they can be fully managed from dropped.uk's web UI.
I have multiple tags, self managed and channel partner.

I don't need to justify myself, nothing fishy going on.

Tool Domains and a few other Bulgarian names won some of the SEO domains I was after yesterday. (They also dropped a few domains they'd won a year ago).

1) What auctions?

1) https://domainlore.uk/orangeprize.co.uk

2) https://ukbackorder.com/ click Dropped Yesterday top right they have one tag TOOLDOMAINS instead of 10 tags ending in a female “ova”

1) I don't see how you can see this is them?
https://domainlore.uk/orangeprize.co.uk
Are they selling or did they buy it?

2) Interesting! Good to know.

Do you know of a way to see what domains people are ordering before they drop?
There's like thousands dropping each day, how do the people know which are good ones and which are bad ones? Is there a website that shows this or a way that you know?

I've seen UKDroplists but there's so much on there to try make sense of it!
