I have a load of domains there which I was planning to transfer them all out this year before they start expiring from May onwards. I'm not complaining as I should have got them away sooner as I knew how bad their company was long before this latest mess. Mine are all with Registerfly & not with the Enom system unfortunately.

I managed to transfer all domains I put in a couple of days ago to Stargate.

Today I tried to transfer more and I found that several of my dot com's and a couple of dot net's that are the most resellable out of all of my domains held with them did not show the Authority code but all others I checked did. This seems to indicate that someone is manually going through all our domains or using some very smart software to sort out which ones are the most valuable and kill the transfer authority code.

Anyway I put some transfer requests in to Stargate today, some have moved on in the process while others had problems, I will update this thread when they are fully processed.

I followed this procedure to Transfer domains away from Registerfly (http://www.rightdomains.net/transfers/how_to_transfer_domain_at_registerfly/)

Stu2,

should look familiar, it's what I posted here on WHT about 2 months ago ;-) i would imagine that info is now worthless, the backend was all tied to enom. i don't see anyone pulling any rabbits out of any hats anytime soon. it took them 1 year to get into this mess.

hope you got everything away too.. i even got the domain i abandoned there back, thanks to enom's email, guess i have three months left to sell it ;-) maybe you might get your lost domains back!

Hi Larry,

I got all mine out. The last one, last week. I never had any problems getting them transferred away, like everyone else seems to have had.

Yep. www.registerfly.com is down for me too :(
