Well what it really means is that OpenSRS will be making less money.
I went into domain registration as a quick way to make a few bucks and
subsidize the network connection. Less orders would mean more of a loss
for OpenSRS then for me. They really should try and at least make an
effort to stay competitive.
Even if OpenSrs did drop their registration to $8, if we were reselling at
$10 a pop, that would be what? About a $1.65 net /domain? (- cc fee's,
etc).
