My prediction: As we sleep, Pocketdomain will painfully pound the backside of the registry, and pull out with the majority of the high value domains tonight, dashing the dreams of would-be bidders of the older limp-netted dropcatchers. 12 hours to go.

what are some high value names dropping tonight?

Looks like the big winner was Snap, only a few for Pocketdomain.

what were some of the names?

fantasy.info was catched by pocketdomain,
damn..

does this mean going after .info drops is pointless? Or are you still able to get some decent ones?

C'mon Charles, what's your take on all this stuff. ;-)

This is one of the BIGGEST breaking news stories of the year... where is Ron Jackson and DNJournal.com? We need an in-depth article to congratulate the new guys on the block and have them tell us what they're doing.

A new company that doesn't even have a website is beating all the known drop catchers with 95% success rate on the top tier domains. What is they set their sights on .us, .biz, .net, and .com next... will anyone notice that one company is getting 95% of the top drops?

Snapnames? Pool? Dotster? Anyone still awake in the drop business and want to comment?

Is the day coming when domain registrars catch the good domains only to keep for themselves?

Perhaps.

This can`t happen if the drop games remains the same.

but on .org -s already dropcatcher.at is beating everyone.

For a kick, feel free to go to www.pocketdomain.com where you'll see the Enom site. If you have an enom account you can login to Pocketdomain and do just about whatever.

In talking to Enom, they say they do NOT own PocketDomain and that they are an independent registrar. Upon a request for clarification, Enom reseller support says they have a lot of credentials, but PocketDomain is NOT one of them. Further Enom claims that it is not catching infos for themselves or anyone else at this time.

So eNom's claim is that they were hacked, and the hacker is using their system? Here's a partial list of the recent catches with registrar ID:
