Over the last 12-18 months, the number of top-quality domain names (.co.uk and .uk) coming up for sale on the open market has decreased substantially.

Seems that good old fashioned war has broken out between domain catchers, and thankfully I'm not involved in this one.

How did Nominet take a broken drop system and make it worse? Identifying multi-taggers as a problem, then giving them a helping hand takes some doing.

I wouldn't want to get too deep into speculating and conspiracy theories but since I had posted details about the flaw, I started to think a little about how I would have set it up if I wanted to take advantage of it. Maybe this is what has...

On Saturday, I received an anonymous email with details of a new catching flaw at Nominet. They asked that I would publish it on my blog. I have done a bit of digging, and it all seems viable.
