and i think they are up to shadey no good as well. yesterday i went to NSI's
whois to lookup arkham.net and it said it was available. today i get the
domain whore's records, but he registered this domain a week ago. it takes
them a week to get their whois databases updated? that's SLOW.
but the shadey part is you can "back-register" un-available domains for $50
from NSI. that option doesn't seem to be available with the actualy record
there, so they were even going to try and play this guy for a week.
up to no good, and breaking some rule somewhere. now is ICANN weren't a bunch
of puppets to NSI we could maybe do something about this.
