I've never had a problem with Directnic before this, and I've used them for years. I've read some rumors on GFY about people searching for a certain domain... and they go back a few hours later to register, and bam it's gone. I have seen thread, after thread of this activity... which seemed a bit odd to me, but I dismissed it as maybe a coincidence.

Well that brings me to tonight. I checked the availability of a domain at approximately 7pm, and confirmed it was available. Now I figured, after I thought about it for a while, that I should probably register the domain before I go to bed.

So I sit down, and the god damn thing is taken. I can't help but think someone must have been looking at the domain queries, and picking up the ones people type in... as was suggested in the GFY threads from a few weeks ago. Is this possible?

I want to hear from Directnic about this. Are people looking at the domain queries? Is this something I should be concerned about in the future? I get a really bad taste in my mouth about this subject. It has really ticked me off. This particular domain has no history of ever being a site.
