I'm building www.nametagup.com for this type of trade/exchange year round.

I really hope you don't get stuck with these domains then... because most of them would never be purchased willingly. :)

Agreed. I was going to throw "vaginawear" at this (which I drunkenly bought at a bar), before realizing that I had rather prudently allowed it to expire.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You should match people that have submitted domains from the same registrar so fees are avoided in most cases.

That sounds like a wonderful idea... but far too much work for it to be worth it. Maybe next year...

You could make the source available and let some of us help contribute to make this possible.

Oh it's simple really.

  $conn = fsockopen ('whois.verisign-grs.com', 43, $errno, $errstr, 1);
  fputs($conn, $domain."\r\n");
  while(!feof($conn)) 
	$output .= fgets($conn,128);
  $registrar = reset(explode("\n",end(explode('Registrar:',$output))));

Awesome! Thanks for this. I'll play with it over the weekend. Still working on the specifics.

Two domains I'm not using, stretchier.com and loners.org, are expiring this month. Anyone want either? They're regged at namecheap, can either transfer there or give you a code for another registrar

Don't want to do this exchange because I really don't want another two domains :P

I might want to take loners.org from you, and create "facebook, without the ability to add friends".
