Nominet bans reselling .uk domains!

[WigWam]

Just checked the bbc and read this article.

In a recent statement by nominet, the body in charge of allocating and managing the usage of all .uk domains, they announced that the banning of all reselling of .uk domains has been forced upon them due to increased government pressure. A spokesperson states that members of popular domain reselling forums such as acorndomains.co.uk should have a great April fools day and remember that wigwam got them first.

Shocked!

Haha that's great, had forgot it's April fools before clicking!

If only Nominet could send that out to the nom-announce mailing list.

Reckon this thread might beat the "hand reg'd domains" thread view count by the end of the day .
