I believe first two columns are cumulative... next two columns are for last 24 hours. Does that clarify?

Thanks for the 'heads up' DomeBase

how do you find out what the deleted .info and .us names are

You can't, unless you know someone important enough in Afilias or Neustar.

Hey goh, do the zone files show you what names were deleted? Thanks for the heads up.

if you diff zone files it shows you what was added and what was deleted between the start zone file and the end zone file

If you have the time, safe, could you give us a sample example of what was deleted in the .info namespace recently?

100% of .info names are due for deletion until next year, so it might be interesting to see what is being deleted

i think it would be interesting also. i'm thinking these could be great names that maybe people were unsuccessful in trademarking or something of that nature.

i've not been keeping old copies of the info zones, but when i pull down the next one in 6 days I can tell you what was deleted in that period.

Yeah, kid. There are an estimated 5,000 juicy .info domains that Afilias didn't manage to clean up in time for LL2. Maybe they will be just quitely dropped back into the pool, maybe not.

Best thing is to follow those names closely like some people here do for expiring .coms.

I got a great .biz in one of those unceremonial clean-ups that Neulevel did earlier on. Now all I can do is shake the tree on its .info counterpart still stuck with false TM claims.

anything on the list has got to be worth registering

Appreciate much safe. Zone files aren't my cup of tee.
