I'm so sad/mad. I was tracking this one name for a month, and I knew it was gonna expire sometime this week, when the whois changed saying that thing where it cannot find the db. So, I figure maybe I could register it manually, since snaps were a wee bit to expesive for me, but then I saw that $49 deal few days ago and so I bought a snapback on the name (5 char long .com).
Anyway like for the past 3 days I kept checking the whois over and over and kept going to the registrar to try to register it when it would finally drop and low and behold someone else snatched it (someone from russia). I never ever saw a screen where I had the opportunity try to get register it myself. I am just really bummed because it would've been the perfect name for my own personal site (if you really wanna know the name you can PM me).
Well, this is just me lamenting but I guess I knew in the back of my mind i might not have been able to get it since (after lurking around this place) I found there are people that do this domain thing professionally, but I really thought I had a chance. You think if I asked the new owner (he reg'd it yesterday) if I could buy the name from him to be inappropriate?
Oh well, you can ignore this thread if you want, just wanted someplace to get my feelings out. Kinda sad for a first post, but on a positive note, this forum is very informative! I do not know a lot but reading here and there I have learned things I never knew before about domains.
