Okay, but you don't need to abandon the old things. I can't help but assume the reason you guys used a blog for that is it's a Tucows product, not because it's the best tool for this particular job.
Everyone is free to make whatever assumptions they want. Perhaps if you asked someone from marketing you might get some actual answers.
*My* assumption is that they were looking to try something other than the usual webinar/emai survey/telephone interview approach and came up with a unique way of doing it. I think its a great step in a different direction. But then again, I haven't talked to anyone in marketing about this either.
so you don't get a flood of complaints from whiners like me when you start them up again.
We get that no matter what we do. This has been a constant since we started dealing with service providers back in '94.
(This is not OpenSRS's fault, but I can't believe WHOIS still even exists. I think I'll change my custom text to say "We understand why our customers submit false data for the gross violation of privacy represented by WHOIS; we would, too. Please review the false information you supplied to make sure it doesn't accidentally reveal any of your real contact information and allow stalkers to kidnap your baby....")
Knowlingly providing false information in your whois record is about to become a pretty serious legal offense in the U.S. and its already cause for revocation of the domain name per the registrant agreement. I would seriously advise anyone that takes their business seriously not to follow Robert's lead.
