wow. i just found that girls(dot) guru got taken away from my godaddy account. when i had it for several days, i saw my information on the whois registry. when i called godaddy, they continued to blame the registry and not themselves. so why does the girls(dot)guru domain rest at godaddy? they should admit their mistakes. oh well. it was a so-so domain... so its official..i do not own any .guru.
i got the confirmation from godaddy that my name servers were going to be updated (a change i made to have it on my server).
as for data-mining...yup. saw it with my own eyes. reg'd a domain that said was $39.95 then when i accessed my cart, it said that the domain was no longer available. when i tried to pick it up again, the price increased to $199.00.
Yeah, a lot of funny stuff going on at GoDaddy lately.... It's funny how my Bo's never work, but the domains almost always end up being "hand registered" at GoDaddy. I had one BO credit for a whole year and it caught nothing.... but 90% of the time the domain was "hand registered" at GoDaddy...
