Never again.

That happens at all registrars from time to time - even godaddy. FWIW, my moniker.com domains resolve almost instantly. Delays in relinquishing authority for most large registrars are mostly situationally specific occurences. Certainly, if your nameservers are registered at the same registrar as the domain your are pointing at them, most of those situations go away because that is where the hang up normally is. One of my companies has registered over 500 domains (I do dropped domain and registered domain acquisition for a several etailers periodically) in the past year for clients, and it happens from time to time with all of them.

I only used to use enom and bulkregister (enom as well) because of that issue - everyone else back in the old days (particularly godaddy and netsol) took 24 hours or more. But, today, there is no difference in that regard with the top registrars.

Real grief is spending money on lawyers for a year. I won, but it was expensive.

One last side note of irony is I just bought a domain/website from another webmaster (transaction was conducted on another board openly). The domain was pushed to me at godaddy.com 3 hours ago and, because the webmaster I bought from gzipped the site to me and I had already laoded the site at the ip, I changed the dns immediately. I am still wating for it to resolve. That does not bother me, but, like I said, nameserver resolutions are situational.
