    I mean are we REALLY supposed to believe that ICANN has raised registration fees
    by 10% to the point where everyone is complaining ,and most all registrars are now
    charging alot more for .com and .net registrations, but somehow users are registering
    more domains??

    This is impossible to believe. but I guess great for Verisign stock. I myself have dropped
    almost 300 domains in just the last 2 months alone, and have now nearly stopped
    completely registering new domains all together. Registration prices are now just
    too HIGH, while the available name quality is total crap. All of the good quality domain
    names were litterally registered decades ago, what are these people drinking???
