Yep, just like the previous few weeks, they get out to a fast start and then immediately die, only to wake up halfway through the race and start moving again.

I also noticed that Siber didn't shut down their TBR section before the run, and it's still up now and you can place bids on domains that were picked almost an hour ago.
I'm not sure that has anything to do with what's going on, but it's pretty screwed up, as in the past the website would lock you out of bidding and it would give you a "TBR is underway, come back later" message when you clicked on My Backorders.

Amazing Facts of the Week:
1) O2.ca went 6th overall.
2) MyID won 13 of the top 16 picks, including virtually all the good stuff.
Hey Siber... School's out!

I have no idea what happened there, but from looking at the results it seems like a few of their TBR links/servers went dead and they skipped a whole pile of preorders. They just jumped from the top-tier stuff to the low-end min-bids with very little in-between. The only domains Siber picked up for me were $20 mins.
I know a lot of my mid-level preorders in the $35-$75 range got totally skipped, but I was lucky to have a few backup registrars that caught some of it late, and some of it really late, which leads to me to the above scenario.
Another potential theory is that these picks were never processed in the first place - maybe these were set too early (Siber sometimes has problems with setting bids if you preorder before their system has the .CA listing properly updated with the correct TBR date), so that could be it, but WHC/Siber definitely needs to look at what is going on and fix it.

Whiteknight has run into the problem I am highlighting here, that you could put in a preorder on XYZ.ca on Friday (it would show an old date because Siber was slow in updating) and then you come back on Monday and it's gone, so you need to preorder it a second time and now it shows the correct TBR date.
Maybe these "missed" TBR preorders were "too early" for their system to process, but instead of being deleted or properly updated, the orders just floated around all week but were never processed + added to the TBR servers today?

Yes, but there are varying levels of mistrust, with MyID being on the extreme end of the scale.

The reality is, we don't have to participate with companies that we suspect may be up to no good. Also, in terms of bidding, we can stop anytime. Few, if any of these names are going to be life-changing...the bus comes by every week.

And the reality is that I do follow my moral compass and DO NOT take part in MyID auctions.
What's everyone else's excuse?
