Is this a sinking ship ? and is this a move from directnic to get back into spotlights ?

probably, my guess is they'll go the route paypal and other companies went.
They grew out of adult and now they're trying to get rid of it.
They probably plan to pose as they have a stand against porn and try to
get all those anti porn fighters with them.

People are jumping on conclusions way too early.

BTW about the 100k domains, that probably mean that they simply stoped registering domaisn for the 7 days trial period to see how the 404 do lol

They didn't stopped anything, those are 100k domains that were lost to other registrars or weren't renewed (unlikely).
And its actually more than 100k if you think that in that period they got other domains registered or transfered to them and yet they had 100k less than 2nd Q.

yes, i think, that Directnik's prices are so expensive. For what to pay much more?

Not that I have a lot of domains, but Ive either transferred my domains away from them or let some go, and not renew them...

I also wonder if its an after effect of the Katrina disaster... maybe people dont want to risk working with them anymore

Actually katrina had the opposide effect. They got quite a big boost after katrina because they were all over the news.

I use Dotster. Always have. They cost a bit more, but I have never had a problem in nearly 5 years with them.

get yourself a reseller account at dotster and you get domains for US$ 6.00 or US$ 6.50, that easy

$15 per domain, meaning twice as valuable as GoDaddy and NameCheap registrars, etc.. They won't lower their pricing until they'd absolutely need to, but, they are still cheaper than Network Solutions (I believe), and there will be a market for $15 cost domains, and without all of the unbelievable upsells of GoDaddy, and NameCheap hopefully won't go down that route either.

http://www.bobparsons.com/DomainKiting.html

In a nutshell, here's how domain kiting works.
Domain kiting registrars put up mini-Web sites — loaded with search engine links — for domains names for which they never pay. When people land on these Web sites and click on the links, money is made. It's easy to spot one of these registrars as the number of total registrations they make often far exceed the number of permanent registrations — or names for which they actually pay. This is why during the month of April 2006, out of 35 million registrations, only a little more than 2 million were permanent or actually purchased. The vast majority of the rest were part of the domain kiting scheme.

Now let's drill down a little further into domain kiting 101.
A registrar who participates in this scheme – Go Daddy and its affiliates do not participate in this scheme – makes a large deposit – sometimes a huge deposit – at a registry. Then the registrar registers as many domain names as the deposit will allow. For example, if the registrar makes a $600,000 deposit at VeriSign Registry, they could register 100,000 .COM domain names as .COM names cost $6.00 per year.

It's all about catching Internet traffic.
For each domain name registered, the domain kiting registrar puts up a simple Web site filled with search engine links and hopes users land on that page and click on the links. Anytime an Internet user lands on one of their mini-Web sites and clicks on one of the links, money is made.

Meet DirectNIC.
You might find the registration statistics of DirectNIC somewhat interesting. DirectNIC registered more than 8.4 million domain names in April 2006, but only permanently registered — or paid for — 51.4 thousand of those. The trend was the same in March, when DirectNIC registered 7.6 million names and only permanently registered — or paid for — 52.5 thousand. Whatever could DirectNIC be doing? Why are they dropping and re-registering all those names – again – and again – and again? And why doesn’t ICANN care?
