Moniker...is okay. As a registrar they are good, definitely much safer to have names with than most others (*coughGODADDYcoughENOMcough*). I haven't logged into my account in a while but they've had domains still listed in there that I sold a year and a half ago...that's kind of annoying but whatever, I know well enough I don't own them anymore.

What I DON'T like about Moniker is they seem to be live event domain auction kryptonite. I've had maybe 2-3 transactions go smoothly, and I define smoothly in those situations as 3 weeks or less simply because I AM aware it can take a while to get the buyers to cough up the cash. But god, in maybe the other 9 or 10 transactions, we're talking 1-3 months...they would only ever contact me on it if I initiated contact, i.e. no updates or anything, and in the one case of someone ultimately not responding to them after I paid for the name, they refunded me...5 MONTHS later. Again, I contacted them maybe 8 or 9 times during that time, I had to always initiate contact and around 4 months I was demanding my money back since it was apparent they couldn't get this seller (plus they even found out he sold the domain weeks after the auction to someone else!) and it still took them that long to refund my money.

The time hassle in dealing with them vs. the increased amount of exposure and sometimes price I can get for names is tough to weigh out sometimes. But yea, as a registrar they're fine. Fabulous kicks ass though...I'm surprised you would give up your relationship with them though it WAS cool what Monte did.
