yeah but a lot of the "fun" was hype.

people thinking they can prop up a TLD or "help it along" by developing half ass sites... people fed on each others enthuisasm and read way more into things...

hi. im not renewing these so i threw them on ebay for fun and giggles. want my junk? some of these a lot of money were paid for. some were registered during 2006 landrush. you probably shouldnt pay a...

are you brain dead?

more activity on NP mobile section? i mean i guess.. but its like comparing two tiny ants.

ive always thought there were way too many categories here.. way way too many too read. however this...

gotta say i never thought the forum would get THIS dead. but i was positive like 90% of the people posting back during the hype era would not be around in 5 years time...just cause thats the way...

is that a john deere harvester behind all that tumbleweed?

hmm, random people? or the same entity?

it seems like the future now.. but so did the regular internet in say, 1997 - the difference here is the mainstream regular joe picked up on it pretty quick because cellphones were already getting...

i think i responded to a thread you posted on namepros. so did you just set all your .mobi to auto renew? hope it wasnt too many of em.. they trade these days for literally pennies on the dollar...

yea, been waiting for them to do this. the MLS idea is a great one.. glad to see mainstream registrars like godaddy using this.

ah hell, turkish.mobi SOLD

Mexican.mobi SOLD

not to split hairs but i dont think "invest" is the right word.. maybe opportunity for potential business to "use mobi" but nobody operating a serious website is going to approach it from the angle...

heh, once you get down to these levels your time is better spent elsewhere.. recovering $3 becomes more work than its worth.. can make more money panhandling on the street, i'd let em drop at these...

bump.. not sure what caused the auto-moderation but post is now visible

:coo2l:

i dunno - sorta surprised how the numbers haven't been fluctuating really.. number of registrations hasn't been growing at all but i see stuff continues to get re-registered

i would assume he was just commenting to comment like usual (i wonder if he even read the thread)... just going by the majority of his posts from years past saying one word replies like "nice" "kewl"...

im only part way through the first page of this namepros thread, but peoples panic attacks are evident. im thinking this type of stuff will be fun to watch for years..

relevant:...

noticed this comment earlier from John, who is a domain lawyer..




appears to be 3 different applicants for .mobile, not sure what the other intended uses are or even where to verify this info.

enjoying the comments on that article, particularly from Pinky and Michael Berkens... some real talk going on there. a lot of domainers that hate these new TLD's are so defensive that its a "scam"......

they've probably lost some necessity but not all.. i find myself searching google sometimes accidentally when i normally type in the domain name - if i remember it.. sometimes its easier to just be...

i find the "you guys missed an opportunity of a lifetime" statement from the sales thread hilarious.. feels like 2007 with that silly hype talk. there were days i wanted to puke from all the hype...

pffffff that guy never planned to develop it and no development was ever started, which is completely fine.. i just found it funny the whole hyping up WE'RE JUST PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON IT...

:laugh:

ive always liked reading snoop's thoughts and im confident hes not a troll. "Jeff" on namepros was trolling nearly 100% of the time. the difference here is intent and whether the poster is being...

yeah, todays speeds/capabilities is what i meant. but i dont know, possible the technology advance/size difference gap will close a bit more than we are imagining..

hi.. going by your post im gonna guess you're new to the whole domain scene too.

registering brand names is trademark infringing stuff.. the only deal that is likely to get struck is a WIPO / UDRP...

there is nothing out on a limb about it.. eventually they will be able to do everything the highest end desktop/laptop computers can do.. 100% guaranteed its just the naturual progression of things....

hi.. happy 5th year landrush anniversary. where were you sept 26th 10am est.. i was in my underwear registering domains.

ok bye. prices lowered.

its just common sense - imagine if we were using separate programs (apps) for everything on our desktop/laptop computers these days.. apps arnt going away completely, they cant - the more mobile...

makes my first one seem like a speed demon.. was an Acer either 133mhz or 166mhz brand new from best buy with 1GB hdd and either 64mb or 128mb ram.. like $2,500 (monitor included) probably 1996 or...

weird, it apparently sold for the same price he was offered 5 years ago...

decent keyword drops get picked up all the time by speculators in all TLD's... its amazing the amount of people that pick up 100's or even 1000's of domains before they make their way to the forums...

i cant pay my bills with only positive spirit.. if i called up my internet or electric provider and told them i was smiling and happy they'd still ask me when im mailing the check.

a lot of it is domainer pipedreams. as far as traffic on most of these, it's about zero.. you're referring strictly to searches for the particular set of letters which is completely different than...

life lesson #45898925... never put money on someone else's "plans" unless you are willing to lose it all or YOUR plan to make money doesnt involve any of their promises.

i dont necessarily think all keywords should be priced at some...

pred did you hit your head on something.. how is this considered "cheap" ?

this aint 2007 anymore...

when is the new Flowers.mobi site coming... were you just kidding when you said it was going live?

who?

makes sense to me :rolleyes2:

same with me.. once computers got around 2ghz i felt the need to stop upgrading... what i think will need to happen though is mobile devices match (or come pretty close to) the speeds people are...

things like this will be good but there still will be the issue of CPU speed.. to be a true computer replacement they'll have to come very close to what people are used to in terms of speed.. hard...

i prefer not to use my phone/small screen device for internet unless i need to. i still use a desktop computer and dont even use a laptop on a regular basis.. only when im out of town.

not sure..maybe if trying to post a link within the first 10 posts? try again, should be fine..

:laugh:

its definitely a good keyword but i personally wouldnt take into account the previous selling price in qualifying it as a "discount"... this is a dangerous way of thinking when dealing with domain...

yeah i dont know about that... what motivated you to buy this? do you own any other .mobi domains?

thats the way i use the word.. just as short way to say domain name speculation where the main goal is flipping or PPC.. if you add anything else to the mix it isnt just speculation (a.k.a. domaing)...

i think there are people that made more and spent less time.. i just took one of the safest methods.. coulda made a ton if i wouldn't have bought as many $xxx to $x,xxx names but during that time...

same here too.. a lot of mine say 9/29/2006 because resellerclub had the cheapest prices and used several ghost registrars to snap up the names quickly... they then deleted the registration within...

not sure if they've been using it.. but i actually had to email them a few years ago to tell em it just recently dropped and was sitting unregistered.. they hand registered it a few minutes after the...

been a while since i laughed out loud this hard just from reading a forum post..

hi guys whats happening in this thread..

well this is very interesting then, first time ive been informed of this.. so a .mobi collector who actually isnt the owner of the .com paid 130k for a sub-par domain in hopes of what i wonder......

not surprised.. this wouldn't have been very shocking even at the height of the .mobi craze.. just the way large companies work.. i imagine their response would have been the same for .net domain
