Laughing my ass off a small bunch of delusional bile spitters on that infamous ‘nuts’ forum.

Let’s laugh together:

One might wonder wtf these guys are talking about?!

Are you ready for .uk drops starting tomorrow?

These freshly-minted TAGs certainly are.

In the month of August a fresh bunch of shadow tags become Nominet members and registrars:

CHURCHILL: Carl Churchill

DAPPS: Niall Day

RULES: Jon Roulston
  
PURPLETREESOL: Mrs Ellen Badat t/a Purple Tree Solutions

MARWEB: Marcus Webster
 
JTGROUP: James Baldock

EASYDOMAIN-UK: Tim Gordon http://EASYDOMAIN.UK

RAINBOWDOMAINS: Rachel Hollin

WEBWORTH: David Worth t/a david worth http://webworth

Just 10 9 TAGs. A greed seems to be well-moderated, all clear.

Nominet must be so busy screening these applicants that for the last one they didn’t even bother to check their own input, entering a half-arsed website.

For some of these tags the applicants managed to register new domains to look more legit with a “coming soon” - a business under ‘active’ development! They must have brainstormed their brains up to the fucking ceiling.

Clearly, Nominet continues to show us all how alarmed they are by the cheating registrars and now that they are not taking the “auctions route”, how keen they are in their desire to “stop” these arrivals.

• Thanks for the introduction.

If you want to save dropcatching and disincentivise cheating, make sure your voice is heard in Nominet`s consultation survey.

Let’s take a sober look first - Nominet is not offering dropcatchers many survival options. In fact, I believe their current objective is to get rid of us altogether.

I can understand why, as now it’s not just a [usual] public outcry on the unfairness of the domain release process, but a huge uproar among catching registrars themselves on how the whole process is being dishonestly disrupted by a shameless few.
