Who is expired.ca?

The only person I know of that it could be is @DomainRecap because he used to run a similar service, maybe he can chime in.

Nope, it's way too much work for me to do that anymore.

And this is obviously an AI-generated site, as there is no way anyone is manually doing this work. Plus, the majority of their Hot List is worthless (the AI is clearly viewing the TBR as it would .COM) and it's missing a lot of better domains, whether purposeful or bot-related.

No matter how much I tried, AI cannot identify hot picks. Like at all. It lacks understanding domain value, usage, application, etc.

That’s my project.

it’s definitely a work in progress. I built it because I wanted seo metrics attached to the TBR list, and wanted an easier way to see the hotlist, what actually got caught, and what dropped. The ai picks aren’t perfect, I’m not pretending it’s some magic domain investor. Right now it only has about 4 weeks of data, so it’s mostly just starting to learn. It's free and there is no monetization here, it's a tool that I wanted and nobody offered.

The goal is really just to sort through thousands of names faster, flag stuff that might be worth a look, and compare it against the actual results. The more data it gets the better it should get.

Does anyone have old TBR lists or know where to get them?

They are recorded here for the last few years

I checked those, but I don’t think they’re the full lists. The lists themselves seem to be earlier-in-the-week snapshots, so they miss names that get released later in the week.

What I’m really looking for is the full weekly TBR lists and the matching results, if anyone saved them.

I go back and update the lists so going back a while they are complete.

All that said, the site looks great, any exposure we give to .ca is a good thing

I think at some point you'll get to where I did, that putting all this work in week after week after week, will become less and less fun and interesting, and you'll come to the same realization I did. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and good guys finish last.

I'll give people the shirt off my back, but at a certain point, even I reach my limits, and I did.

Or as RLM once told me, "Why are you giving away all your hard work for free?" WHC makes a Hot List because they gain customers and make money from it, and other than true charitable organizations that help the disadvantaged, I firmly believe people should be compensated for their hard work, otherwise you're just footing the bill for a bunch of fat-walleted laggards.

I highly recommend you do the work for yourself and reap the benefits. You deserve it.

I get what you’re saying, but I’m not exactly dedicating my life to unpaid labour for domain investors here.

Everything you see is fully automated at this point. I built the tool I wanted because the paid options I use didn’t solve the problem, and running this costs me less than another subscription that still leaves me doing much of the work manually. I’m getting value from it.

I also enjoy building it. It helps me with my own picks, gives me data to compare against, and gets more eyes on .ca/TBR in general.

A rising tide lifts all boats as they say. More interest in .ca is good for everyone holding .ca names.

Check the updated hotlist, I updated the training with more data (still limited) but it's a big improvement

So you buy domains from the TBR, and also give out your personal TBR data for free to your competition to use against you?



I did the same thing, and the only 'boat' you're rising is how much you pay for your TBR domains, as niche sites like this have absolutely no effect on end user .CA prices. I also liked doing it, but at the end of the day it was highly counterproductive and I ended up feeling like I was 'feeding the alligator'.
