Why re they doing this? Looks stupid to me.

By kicking old nerds off legacy.domain.name, they can relist domain.name on the open market and make an absolute killing.

  • If even only two people would be interested in foo.example.name and bar.example.name, they could make more of a killing with the old scheme. Apparently such interest is lacking.

    • The old scheme is just $20/y from both parties. The new scheme is $2000 from the one who won the auction of ”how much value do you price on keeping your established domain”

      Plus all the added value from ”premium” domains such as @domain.name
