Domain Snatched yesterday-Un fucking believable!

Last night I wanted to register the domain "oldhodog" for a friend who hubby and I help out with a page. I "directnicked" it and also checked the availability with the server company. Full of joy that the domain was still available I went to bed because it was getting late. This morning I tried to register it. Guess what? Gone! Someone else registered it last night

Domain Name: oldhodog.com
ICANN Registrar:
NAMEKING.COM, INC.
Created:
22-Sep-2006
Expires:
22-Sep-2007
Registrar Status:
REGISTRAR-LOCK
Whois Server:
whois.nameking.com
Name Server:
NS11.MALTUZI.COM

I don't know what the fuck is going on, but I can only advidse all fellow webmasters to register a domain right when you check its availability because I smell a fucking rat. Something is fishy here. Somebody must have gotten his hands on my query last night and registerd the domain right away.

No big loss here, we are very creative when it comes to domain names. It sitll sucks because there is something going on.

My hsuband also remembered talking to a dude in Vegas two years ago who said he checked a domain from work and when he came back home 12 hours later to register it, it was gone.
