So it looks like I got a new hobby.
I bought and paid "word.TLD" for $10 and paid for it.
Then the registrar turns around that because the "word.TLD" is cool. They decided its "premium and want $3500 for the domain.
(Fuck you arseholes)
There was no record of the premium domain registerd. Their system actually flags premium domains as you check them.
IMHO, This is unethical and I have sent a scary letter to them invoking wrath of god, the seven plagues, #ICANN contractual compliance for registrar misconduct, Consumer Authority complaint and report to UNI naming and registry.
This may be my last entry...

@namedbird @drscriptt personally, I think #CPE / #Router manufacturers should've standardized upon *.router.local (i.e. fritzbox.router.local) since .local has been reserved for such purposeS... per #IETF via #IANA & #ICANN...
- Espechally since the average "#normie #consoomer" isn't gonna own their own domain or even setup an internal #DNS resolver to manage their #LAN at home under
*.local.domain.exampleto make it work.
In fact most corporate users don't even enroll #FQDN|s on their network (#Universities do based off my observation!)…

ICANN's having a tantrum because AFRINIC's #election went *poof* with zero explanation, and The Register's site is now playing bouncer, thinking you're a bot for daring to look. Maybe the real election #scandal is the CAPTCHA!

Some of them weren't rackets. They were genuine attempts to do the Internet thing of "routing around" ICANN when it obstructed change for years.
I think that the way to tell the difference is whether they still exist these decades later, now that ICANN has *eventually* allowed more top-level domain names and the obstruction that were aimed at removing has gone.
The Open Root Server Confederation went the way of the dodo so long ago that #Wikipedia deleted the article on it in 2006, because someone with an IP address could not find WWW pages about it even then.
Whereas the people offering .coin, .emc, and .bazar top-level domains in conjunction with OpenNIC are still going today. (-:

ICANN accredited registrar Hydra's domain redirects to a namecheap parking lot. Brilliant. There's so many broken domains and certificates in this official list. Appalling level of governance.
My registrar login list just fractured into a domain block list for what I'm going to mark as shitshows.
ICANN: Don’t take your eye off .TOP quite yet
In a recent post, ICANN reported that “On 2 June 2025, .TOP Registry cured the Notice of Breach based on remedial actions it took.” The organization also reported “a noticeable decrease in reported abuse involving .top”.
In the data we analyzed from the Cybercrime Information Center, we also saw a decrease from February to April.
Our May data, however, shows significant growth in abuse in the .TOP TLD.

Ah, the saga of "Dotless Domains"—because who needs clarity when you can just make the internet a scavenger hunt? 
#ICANN and #IAB are wagging their fingers, but #ccTLDs are going rogue like rebellious teenagers who discovered Hot Topic. 
Meanwhile, we're over here wondering why anyone would want their website to resemble a typo.
