This may interest you all...

Not long ago the domain realmofchaos.com dropped, but as usual Network Solutions snapped it up so it couldn't be available to others... and so they could then go off and auction it. I then sent them an email questioning them about the domain and making a point that I was interested in registering it. Well within 24 hours after my email I noticed the domain had suddenly become available, they never replied to my email.

Now... what the hell is with that? I'll be sure to question them about any domain I want that they snap up in the future!

You can contact/email them through their web site http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/help/contactus

I was also chasing the domain prowebhosting.com and they did the exact same thing with that domain. One of my friends happened to email them about it.. and then it suddenly disappeared out of their whois. As far as I know it was made available, but I had stopped following it by that time.

I'd be interested to see if it works in the future for anyone... so if it happens to, please post a thread.
