Registerfly answered my support ticket.
They gave me the correct authcodes.

The only thing is….
My new registrar says the domains are locked by registerfly(“registrar locked”).
Registerfly says “they are” unlocked.
We’ll see what happens.
My domains expire 5/19 & 5/31.

When I attemped to transfer 31 of my 50 domains from Registerfly to another Registrar in mid-April, ALL 50 doamins disappeared from my account.

I have a list of all the domains I registered with Registerfly in a spreadsheet downloaded from Registefly before this happens which lists the URL, the date of registration, the registration ID, etc.

My support tickets submitted within Registerfly go unanswered, my emails go unanswered, my fax support information sent goes unanswered, and if I can get through to the Registerfly voice mail hold I never get a live person (up to 5 hours on hold). Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?

Anyways, I got the authcodes from my control panel and gave them to the new registrar. However, I think the domains are locked.

domain1 STATUS: DELETE PROHIBITED/PENDING TRANSFER
…but I noticed the registry whois changed to whois.afilias.net
My email and contact info are still the same.
Transfer Status: transfer submitted to registry (5)…on step 5

domain2 STATUS: clientUpdateProhibited
Whois Server: whois.registerfly.com
Transfer Status: acquiring admin email address (1)…on step 1(stuck there)

Both domains are unlucked in my control panel.

I feel for anyone going through this. My domains are also important to me.

First of all, that has some pretty devastating consequences were it allowed to happen. And second, as has been demonstrated countless times in the past, the Internet just doesn’t work like that.

As for RegisterFly, apologies for not providing an update before now. There is a static page on the Public Participation website that we seek to keep as up-to-date as possible.

The short news is that ICANN expects the problem to be dealt with one way or another next week. Depending on what exactly happens at that point, registrants could either gain immediate access to their domains, or if may take a few weeks to run the hundreds of thousands of domains through the system.

Yes are right though. In this highly unusual circumstance – where a registrar actively works against its own interests and the interests of its customers – ICANN does not have sufficient authority to be able to bring the situation to a close fast enough.

Once this RegisterFly situation is over, that loophole will be closed so no one need go through this particular situation again.

Hope this helps

Registerfly is still claiming that it’s a fully functional domain broker; they’re taking peoples’ money every day (including MINE last week); and with all the big talkin’ regulation that’s going on, no one has thought to pull the plug on the Registerfly site?

*shakes head*

What good is all this legal volleyball if people are still getting suckered every day? Is ICANN really that impotent in the matter? If so (and I don’t mean to sound offensive), what exactly IS the job of ICANN?

Is ICANN monitoring RegisterFly?

It’s May 5th ,2007 and Registerfly still is operating their website soliciting Renewal money and Domain Registration Money.
They still State on there Website that They are ICANN accredited and Still Charge the ICANN TAX (FEES) on new Registrations.

We’ve had many domains Hi- jacked by RegisterFly and their Employess.

We’ve payed multiple times for renewal of the same domains only to have them expire.

We have multible Domains that have Expirered that ICANN has promised us we can transfer and renew.

WHen?

Your last News was the court order dated April 27th.

ICANN should transfer the RegisterFly.com ExpireFly.com domains
immediatly and redirect all email inquires to ICANN staff even if you have to Cancel your meeting Trip to Purto Rico.

Get Busy ICANN the Internet doesn’t sleep!
