eNom going down?

Hey,
These are some numbers taken from registrarstats.com, of domain losses/gains in the past one month.
enom : -17,007
WWD : 15,339
PDR : 25,480
tucows : 61,113
While all the other major registrars have gained a large number of domains, enom seems to be headed in a completely opposite direction. They have lost a large number of domains in the past month. And almost all of these domain names are .com's.
So what is wrong with enom? Anybody know what the reason for this is? Or what this reflects? Is enom no longer a good option for resellers?
Just wanted to get everybody's opinion on this.
thanks

It is difficult to become Enom Reseller and Sub-Reseller. Enom process secure payment only. For ETP account, you also need to sign ETP agreement, they also ask some verification like scanned copy of Credit Card, Photo ID, Business Information (license sometimes). You will not even know what is their current promotional price if you have no ETP account with them.
Also other Registry may have promotion on .com

I think youll find that all the other eNom registrars are gaining, enom has 20 or 30 registrars.
Keep looking through the list

Does it mean eNom backed registry?

Thank you for the link.
I didn't know it before.
But still confused, tried to visit http://www.enomcorporation.com/ it seems like parking page, then tried http://www.enomgmpservices.com/ it seems problem loading page and so on.
Some redirecting to enom and some showing whois lookup page.
So they own 78 ICANN Accreditation Registrars.
But why this? What is the goal?

Try some of the numbered ones, you will see that it goes to a whois page, then, click on the registrant agreement
Registrars get 2 backorder connections to the registries, the more registrars you have the more chance of domain backordering, ie grabbing domains on expiry.
This is why DI have so many registrars too, for instance one is answerable, they have plenty of others.
Go to http://manage.snapnames.com, look familiar?

That's a nice easy question, 1.
I don't go down the backordering route, the whole thing is a bit of a "con" in my eyes, pay an amount to show interest, then once the company you have gone with auctions it as they have had "other interest", at which point to coin a english phrase "touch your toes, in it goes". You are then bidding against someone you dont know, or can't see.
At the end of the day, it all depends how much you want that domain.
