I'll start off by saying I almost spit out my coffee when I saw the first 3-character, which the CIRA Font made it look like alc.ca, but after looking closely at it, the domain was actually a1c.ca.

Damn that CIRA font that makes 1's look like l's.
 
Yeah, the font needs to change, I had it a few weeks back where I said the same thing

You absolutely need to use a better font that clearly identifies as 1

Notice the font we use cannot be misconstrued
 
Wow, the 3-letter list is starting to gro.
 
3 Letters

Text Box: 
4mu.ca    2021-12-01
a1c.ca    2021-12-01
a2o.ca    2021-12-01
fpz.ca    2021-12-01
gro.ca    2021-12-01
lx3.ca    2021-12-01
n47.ca    2021-12-01
ndz.ca    2021-12-01
out.ca    2021-12-01
r-k.ca    2021-12-01
sh2.ca    2021-12-01
sj7.ca    2021-12-01
v-c.ca    2021-12-01
wd4.ca    2021-12-01


gro.ca & out.ca are definite winners
 
[notify]MapleDots[/notify] with regards to the font we use in the TBR listing, I am adding an image of the current (moments ago) listing that has a domain with both the letter "l" and the number "1", not sure how it can be made any clearer.

You can see the number "1" has a top and the letter "l" does not, almost exactly how the font in this forum is used. I am open to suggestions nonetheless.

Your font...

Our font...

a1c.ca



You see ours is crystal clear while yours has a margin of error in SOME cases
 
[notify]Groot[/notify] with regards to the "linkedln.ca" post, all TBR names are posted in lowercase so I would hope there is no possible confusion with what is being listed, in this case both lower case "l's" (els).
 
[notify]MapleDots[/notify] thanks for the specific suggestion, it would seem you want a font that includes the lower "foot" as well. :)

Yes, in certain circumstance the way you have the 1 can still be misconstrued. If you are experienced like we are then in most cases we realize our error because the domains seems too good to drop. Once you factor in the 1 then you know why they are dropping.

Only thing is it is not always crystal clear without the lower foot on the 1.
 
Other than a couple of nice LLLs, it's a very bad list - I even did some deep-diving on a collection of visually-promising names and they were all junk. That never happens and usually 2-3 of them pan out.

I think it's clear people are in a holding pattern right now and are not letting any remotely-good 1-word (or premium 2-word) domains drop.

So could it be the week that we have the lowest re-registrations for 2021?

I think there will be that last minute rush of requests that will push past that 100 mark. Let’s wait and see.

So far from my meager picks, the hottest ones seem to be:

OUT
GRO
Heartland
 
Haven't looked yet, but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that MyID front-loaded their servers and won OUT.
