2/3 Can someone explain why Internic, with its domain name monopoly and
shitload of revenue, now can't handle the volume of domain name
registration? I've had to submit form multiple times just to get
something done.
\_ They're blaming it on domain speculators. -ERic
\_ Domain spammers suck. Some folks get a big ol' list of domains,
run whois on each, find the domains on hold, and automatically
send off registration letters for every one it finds. 100,000
domain registrations popping up in the queue could slow things
down somewhat...
\_ Gee, you'd think that $3.5 million in cash, which is what
\_ Gee, you'd think thatte $3.5 million in cash, which is what
InterNIC would get if someone did this for 100,000 domains,
would be able to pay for more staff. -tom
\_ problem is they generally don't pay for the domains, they
just register them and wait for the internic to bill.
When the internic puts the domain on hold for lack of pmt
then they just reregister it, and the cycle continues..
\_ They should just start banning people. Like, you need
to sign up to get an InterNIC ID and then use that ID
to register names. You pay for the ID. You can lose
your ID for being an asshole. End of story. You can't
get your ID activated until payment clears and can't
have an ID "on hold". Payment would be like $5 just to
generate paperwork and get info on these pricks.
\_ Internic just can't handle the stress -dom speculator |
