So I noticed that there is now a .bargains available, and was going to suggest grabbing oz.bargains … But it's specifically excluded!! Considering the size of the exclusion list, compared to any other gTLD, it's kind of surprising that it's on there.
Question: Does OzB really have that much of a presence that we angered the ICANN gods??? ;)
Exclusion list: http://www.icann.org/sites/default/files/tlds/bargains/barga…
Provided by ICANN. Part of their "collision prevention". Not sure how they ended up with the lists, maybe they've been logging all incorrect DNS queries for years?!?
New gTLDs are a way for corporations to take a greater hold on the net.
Also, who runs .bargains DNS? You are better off sticking with the tried and true.
Well the roots are the same as every other TLD.. So nothing has changed there.
And how does it give corps more control? O_o
"Oh no, they now have iPhone.apple!!" ???
Not really a networking guy… but…
read it was a bad idea to use TLDs that's longer than the original 2~3 chars…

some dns servers does not recognize and resolve them very well…
and better not use .local, I read it screws up intranets somewhere cant find the article anymore…
I am moving this to "Internet" forums rather than a discussion about OzBargain.
Not too sure about the gTLD delegation process. For the second level domain block list — is that provided by ICANN or by the gTLD applicant (Half Hallow, LLC)?
