Anyone registering these other than godaddy?

A friend suggested Dynadot. They accept Paypal, which makes it easier to not bother my parents (I'm 15-years-old).

Just bought one from Dynadot. Seems to have worked fine.

Nooooo..... The following domain name has failed to be registered: SCHE.ME Error: SCHE.ME: cannot register - already registered

I think GoDaddy is sending those out for every domain... I even got it for a really random/unpopular one.

Maybe they took the first day's worth of submissions and registered them for themselves?

I got 10 - 3 letter domains and 4 - 4 letter ones. Got the email confirmation, but not in the control panel yet

yeah out of those only 1 went through.

After that I tried like 6 times to register, and out of like 70 domains I "got" only 5 went through. I did get a hold placed on my credit card because of suspicious activity because of this.

Got CLUTTER.ME, I'm happy :)

Also got another 11 three-letters, and one four-letter. Looks like the frenzy has died down by now, godaddy is slow but all my domains processed right away.

One annoying thing is godaddy stopped accepting coupons for .me domains halfway through... so I didn't get any discounts for the last few. Ah well.
