it's a long, drawn out story, but i'll try and keep it simple.

first off, i use registerfly to store doman names i don't want to develope yet
then redirect them to different affiliate programs. my regular registra is about $12.99 per year and registerfly is only $8.99 per year. 4 bucks cheaper each year.

of course they send me emails when renenewals are due, but i ignore them, because at the beginning of each month, i go into ALL of my registras and renew my domain names, just like i make my morgage and car payments. MONTHLY!!!

one day toward the end of the month of feb., i started getting emails requesting domain name transfers. after i started to freak out briefly, i disapproved the transfers and went right into my registerfly account.
normally i RENEW my domain names at the beginning of each month,
but i deceided to do them right away. (early)

so i renewed all the domain names that were due for the month of march.
after i renewed them, i got a confirmation message saying all is well and my domain names will be renewed for one year.

so i logged out not thinking anything about it, because it takes a day or two for the changes to be made. a few days later, i went back into my account at registerfly and noticed the changes were not made. the names i renewed still had exp. dates of 3/11/06 and 3/25/06.

so i made out a service ticket asking why my domain names were not renewed as of yet. they tell me..."oh we share the work load with another registra and your changes will be made before the exp. date don't worry." blah blah blah

right then and there, i knew something wasn't right. so i went to my MAIN registra where i keep my premium names (the real money makers) and put in a transfer of all the domain names i wanted out of my registerfly account.

all of them went through after a couple of days except the 6 domain names someone tried to transfer. i went back into my registerfly account to check to see if the renewals were made and they weren't.

i checked the whois data base and then checked the admin info in my registerfly account and this is what i found for the names someone tried to transfer:

(these are just a few samples)

i don't see my name or email address at all in the whois.
all i see is registerfly and ENOM. ENOM?????

now, according to my MAIN registra, all 6 are pending approval with a date of 3/11/06.

So NOW, i am playing the waiting game to see how this all unfolds. 2 domain names that are NOT part of the 6 i really want were REJECTED!!!

so will these 6 names i want also be rejected???
i have no choice but to wait and see. i should know by 3/11/06

i'll keep you posted!!!
