How many regged today then from drops?

retired_member12 · Jun 17, 2009

Final day of gluttonous excess tomorrow chaps. Not quite prenom days, but what would you say were the best of the drops so far?

In no particular order (on my rather limited short list of doms anyway):

(couk) any LLLs, deportation, trackers
(orguk) cvs, media, cowboy, iron

Also, what would you have liked, but didn't get?

Diablo thats a hell of a word to spell, I used to work for a company called entrepreneurial leisure and no f'er knew how to spell it, it sucked ass, we used to just called EL LTD

You're not wrong - and entrepreneurial is even worse

Fortunately Google now corrects people's spelling too.

@ Tifosi, Dale was referring to Darren selling his catching script, see here:

175 now for DropSystem. No backstabbing at all, I know Darren.

Wasn't the thread I was thinking of!

Reveal all Tifosi! What thread are you on about?

retired_member12 · Jun 17, 2009

The 'renovations' thread I suspect!

Momentary lapse of reason

Apart from that only about 10

My total incl hand regs and catches is about 20-25 now, I thought I had more, but I have 5 in for today

So far my fav is PhoneRecycler, seems to be a growing market. I'm gutted I missed desmond too, normally only buy female names but I have flashbacks of the TV show

Edwin · Jun 18, 2009

So far I think I've got about 50 of what I was going for over the super-drop period, if I'm keeping track. Every few minutes there's another one. None of the real cream of the crop, but plenty of solid mid-tier names. And still 20 names to go today - the tension's killing me!

retired_member6 · Jun 18, 2009

Didn't even look the last two days, no point, aint catching anything.

retired_member12 · Jun 20, 2009

I'm wondering if this mass 4 day drop actually spread the 'catch' about a bit more?

Edwin · Jun 20, 2009

It did in the sense that public catchers looked like they got a greater percentage of the drops than usual...

retired_member6 · Jun 20, 2009

Also a lot of good names, because there were so many, were left free to reg, whereas on a normal day, even as a speculative, most are but I mean, even more chancing a quick or probably sale, that some were left to manual reg hours after, even with so and so names, companies it appeared, came in and got what they were after.

It's no surprise, a hell of a lot dropped but when you consider the fact that you sit there and see a domain free to reg, then come back an hour later and see it in the hands of the company who is going to earn alot of money out of it as their business, you can't help thinking that you missed a sale.

The influx of the better scripts probably evened things out more but most got dibs on a few.

same. I saw ecoloan free to reg, went for a brew and it had gone to grant via chris. Kicking myself for my tea addiction and lack of nerve!
