pill.co.uk

Not sure why you didnt post the name as most people have identical lists anyway...

paul · Jul 18, 2005

Not one to get overly excited about IMHO, maybe if it was pills.co.uk

aquanuke · Jul 18, 2005

Well pillz.co.uk should drop the day after.

shock horror

what a surprise

tagnames snatched it.

i'm not being funny, but if tagnames are playing by the rules then surely they like the rest of us are in the lottery for catching these - but they get them every time.

Not really very surprising. It's not a particularly good name*, so there will have been fewer people watching it. I didn't bother trying to catch it.

* That is to say, I have no personal interest in peddling pills or selling to spammers. I doubt anyone reputable would have wanted that name, and I doubt many people seeking medication would type 'pill.co.uk' into their browser. But I may be being naieve

it does get a bit silly though when they grab everything going!

domaingenius · Sep 7, 2005

Trouble is that Nominet do not care and in any event it is now too late as a small number of people hold a disproportionate number of the good names.

What I wonder is how many of these small number actually have hidden multiple tags's,not saying of course that Tagnames does have but they must be doing something different to everyone else and that difference cannot surely be speed alone ??.

What a load of old cobblers. Nominet clearly care about keeping things fair, look at the changes they made in the last pre-nom deletion.

Tagnames ... must be doing something different [from] everyone else

Yes, they've had a better strategy than other catchers in the past. However am I alone in thinking that their success rate has taken a bit of a dive lately?
