It was a nice party when it began, but I'm afraid it died out long before 2am. Everyone has gone across the street to another party.
I think it's pretty obvious, both by market trends and by the activity on this list that most of the smaller domain name customers have moved on to other registrars. If the larger Tucows customers have a direct line to Tucows support, there's not much reason for them to post to a user community list. I imagine many of those customers are getting significant price breaks on domains as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ross Rader" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: tucows.services.domains.general To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 10, 2006 6:48 AM Subject: [domains-gen] Tucows Community/Start service Beta (WAS Re: no mail since Mid Jan?) > Peter Kiem wrote: > >> Without the community there is nothing here now but another big >> registrar of domain names like all the others. > > Hmm. > > I hope you didn't get this idea from my last message.
