The UK ROR 'WHO GOT WHAT?' thread

[newguy]

@newguy they are public auctions open to any bidders, I asked Denys via email ahead of booking some names on DL.



He added in the word public before auction to make this clearer after my email.

Oh great, that makes more sense. Yes I was a bit perplexed by the setup, so clearly got the wrong end of the stick!

I have a good (costly) feeling about tomorrow.

Does anyone know if gandi will refund payments assuming they miss the catch? Can't see anything on their site?

 

[Murray]

Did anyone backorder actor.uk @ yay.com? It's one id like if you have it pm me cheers

 

[iamrofe]

i know someone who is potentially interested in privatehealthcare.uk - PM what you are looking for (if you are selling?

Sorry, i didn't get it, was saying those are the ones i went for.

Newbie question alert. Is there a restriction on when I can sell a .uk domain? Registered through GoDaddy, not my own tag.

 

[figleaf007]

If anyone got sugardaddy or records and want to sell, my Inbox is waiting for you....

 

[viproom]

chicks.uk
escortgirl.uk
homebuilding.uk

Mine have been credited back to my account. I'll find out tomorrow if they'll credit back to my card, as I've been using the credit from previous day, to pay for the current day. If not, I'm sure Amex will have a word.

If anyone wants to show some love I wouldn't mind having wayne.uk, only for email use so would only want to pay around £100 ish.

Good luck everyone on the last day.... It's been emotional..

You're going to need even more luck to get end users buying your .uk domains.

Edit: Oh and good luck to all of you in avoiding the inevitable shit show of DRS's.

Likewise if anyone fancies selling me ali.uk for a vanity purchase please let me know.

I don't think it will be an issue as it gains pace in the following years to come. I dont regret taking part as I have been lucky and picked up some premiums. I have gone for domains that I would want and I now have my pick, when I decide on developing them.

Right, so I got one and it turns out the .co.uk is an already running website owned by a huge multi-national

It is completely generic (exact match) and cannot possibly be trademarked - could they still have a case against us?

E.g. carsforsale.co.uk owners going after carsforsale.uk owner...

Each case is different so whether they will have a case against you depends on how you use the name, but by definition EVERY RoR release has a matching .co.uk (or other) that has been registered. Will it cause problems? Definitely. For everyone? No.

 

[lazarus]

Not only being trademarked is an issue, but also you need to be careful about "Passing Off"

 

[DaveP]

Precisely why .uk is a shit show and all of you are lining their pockets for another round of big bonuses.

 

[twostepsbehind]

How on earth could the owners of carsforsale.co.uk claim passing off of carsforsale.uk if both websites are listing cars for sale with different looking websites?

It would be grossly unfair...

Yes, I agree the whole thing is / was a shit show. At the end of the day it happened and I don't blame domineers for speculating, especially the ones that where late to the party.
