    What are you talking about zerosleep?? Contactiog officials??? They don't give a shit about you. The only thing you can do is to go to http://www.registerfly-lawsuit.com/ and sue them.

    lol,
    there were a huge number of warnings given out on all forums,
    ICANN made the issue extremely popular,
    it is your fault if you did not give it attention

    There was a lot of discussion around this and ICANN had discussed this openly and everyone knew that someone at Regsterfly had taken a wrong route and had things were not good.

    You should have moved 'em out earlier. No idea if you can get them. see if they are still available and if they are why not buy them back?

    All Success,

    In the past, RF uses eNom so it might not be a bad idea to check where your domain names are actually registered at. If it is at eNom, you might be able to contact them for assistance.

    Basically, all you need is the Auth Code or EPP Code to be able to transfer the domain names out of RF.

    There are several posts over the last several months detailing steps which you can take to transfer your domain names. You might want to look for them.

    Do not stay with RF because it is already a sinking ship without life rafts.

    you need a snap kick to the head :rolleyes:

    To the OP, if the domains haven't expired transfer out of them immediately.

    Even if they cost you money, you are adding another year of registration to those domain names so it is not like it is additional cost per se. Besides transferring out of RF is a good thing because the company is probably no longer going to be around for long.

    If they are expired, they are no longer in your control. You have to renew them before they get expired.

    But if the domain names have expired and the OP did not renew them, can they still sue RF because they lose those expired domain names ?

    I thought that if the domain names have expired, it is no longer in your control.

    If you'd let them expire, then there's nothing you can do. It's like having names with Godaddy, letting them expire, then saying can I sue Godaddy

    Yes, it would, but then your names wouldn't have expired. Plus you'd have another 1 year registration added to those names

    I could save all my registerfly domain by contacting ICANN email at registerflies.com
    Looks like they pressure RF to give authorisation codes. Authorisation codes were not visible to avoid people to quit the sinking boat.
