It's worth noting that this happened on the very day that .quest became generally available[1].

I think it's a case of first-day demand, not somebody picking good domains from Namecheap's logs.

Edit: technically the next day UTC, but the same day where I am.

There are quite a few people in that thread who claim to have experienced the same thing.

I hope its not true. I really like namecheap. I would hate to have to dump them.

There are ~750k people in that Reddit community, it wouldn't surprise me if by coincidence it happened to bunch of them the a domain was registered between when they searched it and decided to buy.
