For Sale some .org's drop a day later ?

[Whois-Search]

This sounds crazy but ........

After a certain letter in the alphabet do .org's drop a day later ?

These should have dropped on the 1st but now will drop on the 2nd :

r-p.org

ufg.org

I have noticed that some drop after 36 days and not 35.. I had yet to find the pattern. :-D

Someone complained in another thread that they had hgh bids in NW on two .orgs that were supposed to drop on a given. They nexty day he found out they had dropped a day later and someone was able to register them manually apparently because NW didn't run them on the unexpected drop day. Very weird.

I guess the random drops times we all hoped for were done away with it, but this is the bone they are throwing us to add a little confusion to the marketplace.

Are you sure you guys aren't miscalculating the drop date? I haven't seen anything strange.

I saw this just a couple of days ago on a name I was following (I think it was tbo.org). It definitely dropped on the 6th day after the pending delete date not the 5th. Haven't seen it often but it has been happening.

 

[ToastyX]

I saw tbo.org. It dropped on time. You are definitely miscalculating the drop date.

If some .orgs drop a day later you'd better be careful when checking the maximum proxy bid at NW for the domains...

You are way off on ufg.org. Check again.

r-p.org dropped on time. You are miscalculating the drop date as well.

Your page is full of errors as well. Here are the corrections:

gater.org (which isn't even a word) - 2003-08-02 -> 2003-08-03
ufg.org (you were way off on this one) - 2003-08-02 -> 2003-09-01
jtq.org (which you have listed twice) - 2003-08-03 -> 2003-08-04
agoraphobia.org - 2003-08-04 -> 2003-08-05
tym.org - 2003-08-05 -> 2003-08-06
s-d.org - 2003-08-05 -> 2003-08-06
rnx.org - 2003-08-05 -> 2003-08-06
f-b.org - 2003-08-05 -> 2003-08-06

You also have fhw.org, fnc.org, oxf.org, oyb.org, and qcl.org listed twice. You should really triple-check the list before updating your page.

No, that just means that wasn't the domain. I said I "thought" that might have been it. I look at hundreds of domains every day. There was definitely one that went a day late. Bob and some others have seen the same thing and reported it. Most of us can add 5 to a date and determine the right number. You wouldn't have that many reports from so many different competent domainers if it hadn't happened. If it was high level calculus yes, adding 5 days no.

Actnow even posted that Namewinner told him they missed two .orgs he had high bids on because they dropped a day later than they were supposed to.

Plus, I can do high calculus!

Nobody likes a show off! :-D

I can handle simple addition as long as it stays in single digits, but after that my math skills deteriorate rapidly.

Is that why your domain prices are generally all so low, duke? :-D

Just because many people think it's happening doesn't always mean it's happening. Trust me. I've been in this situation many times and always have to go out of my way to prove myself. Why do I even bother?

I'm pretty sure you guys are miscalculating the drop date. If you don't believe me, give me some domains that will drop in the next few days and I'll tell you when they drop. Then you can see for yourself on the ones we don't agree on.

A representative from Namewinner just posted in another forum that .orgs are not always dropping when they are supposed to. He said several have been dropping a day later, just as we are all reporting, and that it is causing them problems with their system. If you wish I will PM you the link to his post. Believe it or not, corporations make just as many mistakes as everyone else.

That just tells me NameWinner doesn't know how to calculate the drop date. I just checked every .org domain that was supposed to drop today and every single one of them dropped. I did the same thing when you claimed NameWinner was catching .org domains before they were supposed to drop. Again, every single one of them dropped on time. I have been watching .org domains and have not seen anything unusual except for all of these reports of unusual things happening. I don't know where you guys are getting this from. You guys have to be miscalculating the drop date.

Thanks ToastyX I will update my list.

We are just adding 35 days to the update date ?

Domain Name:ORION.ORG
Last Updated On:28-Jul-2003

+ 35 days = 1st September ?


Or are you saying you have to do a whois on Pir.org and get :

Status: PENDING DELETE - RESTORABLE

this is RGP period (30 days)

then look for :

"Pending Delete - Scheduled for Release."

this is the RHP period (5 days)


which is the same thing ?
